5.00Had a great experience and Hi was an amazing guide! He explained the produce in the markets and each step of the cooking so detailed that you can tell he loves the food. The spring rolls, bahn xeo and papaya salad were delicious! Cannot wait to go home and make the meals. Coconut bamboo boats were fun, but had the most fun cooking.

5.00Hai hot boy was an awesome tour guide. Picked me up from the hotel and went to the market for groceries. After getting the items we made the next stop at drifting down the river in the coconut boats 🛶. Finally we arrived at the cooking location where our guide took us through the whole process of making a meal beginning to the end. Very hands on and through. Highly recommend.
Great family experience!
