5.00Absolutely top notch experience from pick up, market visit, basket boat tour and the, best for last, was the cooking class. We made papaya salad, fresh fried spring rolls, banh xeo, and delicious steamed chicken and water spinach with garlic and rice. We had a fantastic time. Simple but a family memory that will last forever. The family who owns the business is lovely and Khang was a terrific guide.
Delicious food!
