I must recommend this half day activity tour 100%! Pick up from hotel was timely taking us to a local food market where all things Vietnamese were explained to us. Then off to enjoy some fun on the river in coracle coconut boats with very funny locals. After which we enjoyed a really fun , efficient , active cookery course learning to cook some well known dishes from scratch. All the staff were excellent particularly Ken who was so knowledgeable and helpful. We then ate all of our own freshly prepared dishes. One of our best mornings in Vietnam. Would def recommend.

Amazing cooking class!!! Everything was very good. And the amount of food is also more than enough 😊 Ms Hanh is super friendly and loves explaining all the details and answers all our curiosities ❤️ We learned how to make spring rolls (fresh and friend), Bánh Xeo and Pho Bo. Water is free and at the end we were even entitled to fresh mango ❤️ I would definitely do it again!!! Great quality/price ratio! A little kiss, Patrícia, Portugal

I did the cooking only class and it was great. The hosts are really fun. The cooking class was good and we made all of the food. The recipes are amazing (this was the nicest food I ate in all of Vietnam).

Market visit, boat and crab fishing AND cooking - what more could you want? Facilities were super clean, very informative class, even the boat guides were fun and friendly! Catered to my vegetarian diet without any hassles. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend this tour! You begin the tour by walking through the market and picking the ingredients from locals. Then, you take a small boat across the river and fish for crabs. Lastly, the cooking class includes a four-course meal, all of which were super tasty and fun to make! The lady teaching the class was so kind and patient, and we loved spending our morning with her.
