Good Quality Cooking Class - This was a really fun day! The bamboo basket was very nice and because we were on the water early, it was also super quiet and we could also see that the locals themselves really use these boats to catch crabs.
The cooking class was very well organized. The cook spoke good English and explained to us very well what needed to be done and how things worked. Then ate blissfully from everything we had made. We were packed!

I would recommend this to family and friends - We had a really lovely experience. There were only two of us in the group which turned out to be excellent. The trip on the river was really fun, we enjoyed shopping at the market and really seeing inside a market used daily by the locals. At the cooking school we were allowed to choose from a list of menu items, and then we were provided with clear instructions and gentle guidance throughout the cooking process. The facilities were excellent. We loved the flexibility provided throughout the day and the tailored information that was given to us. The next day we were sent the recipes so that we can try what we have learnt at home!

Brilliant cooking class and fantatsic value for money! - I booked this cookery class for myself and my two teenaged children. It was fantastic. We got to choose lots of dishes between us that we wanted to make. The lady teaching us to prepare and cook our meals was great. A fun activity to do, in a beautiful setting and incredible value for money, I would highly recommend this activity!

A perfect experience! - I booked this cooking class after I saw some recommendations of FB. Absolutely do not regret this - it was such a nice day! We were with 2 families (friends) - so had a "private cooking class" just for us. All was super easy. We started the day with the basket boat ride, than went to the market - which was super nice and informative. The cooking class itself was well organised and everybody had fun, including the children. All what we have prepared (under supervision of the chefs) was super tasty and we are happy that we got the recipes as well so we can continue our Vietnamese culinary journey even after our return back home. I can only recommend!

Excellent cooking class! - From start to finish this was awesome. The market tour with Mr Hung was very informative. We loved the refreshing welcome drink - so delicious and different to anything I’ve tasted before and then enjoyed the tour through the herb gardens trying some herbs we can’t grow back home. The cooking class was amazing and tasted out of this world, we can’t wait to replicate, hopefully, back home :). The massage at the end was so good. Fantastic day! Thanks Mr Hung and staff.

A delicious & engaging experience for all ages in our 4 family group. - A group of 17 of us, 4 families, stopped here on a tour to learn to make rice flour pancakes and enjoy a five course meal. Children from 10 to adults were all involved. It was well organised, engaging for all, and in a beautiful setting overlooking the crops of growing vegetables used as ingredients. The food was delicious and the staff were so enthusiastic in response to our questions. It was one of many of our trip highlights and I highly recommend it. I'm looking forward to trying the recipes they emailed us.
