Kind, funny and delicious food - One of my best tours/experiences in Vietnam. Jennifer and Thanh were so kind and funny. I would recommend you to get the ticket with no doubt!
I was completely full after the cooking class. So much food and all the dishes were absolutely delicious!
Thank you Cam Thanh Family!! I would come back a hundred times again!

Brillant cooking class and fun boat ride - Brilliant day - we met our guide Flower at the market in the afternoon where we sourced our fresh ingredients then we had a ride in the basket boats on the river, including fishing with a baited hook for crabs. After that we went to cook, you don't need any cooking experience either as you receive clear instructions.
Our stations were all set up with everything prepped for us and we then followed our teachers very clear and careful instructions and we managed to produce papaya salad, Basa fish in a clay pot, Hoi An fried spring rolls and rice pancakes with prawns. We sat as a group to eat together and it all was delicious. I was impressed how well it all came out - we were also given some steamed clams and watermelon to finish our meal off. Finally we were then taken back to the town centre.
A fabulous experience, and we have been sent the recipes so we can try out the recipes at home. The whole day is such good value and fun...do it!

Very nice and entertaining activity - A very successful and entertaining morning, perfectly organized. From the pick-up from the accommodation to the market visit, where I could learn a lot, the basket boat ride and finally the cooking together, everything was very relaxed. And the food was really good.

Excellent trip worth every dong - We had a great time visiting the market 1st to show us the produce there and what was going in our meal.
Then the coconut boat was great fun even with fishing for crab thrown in.
Then the cooking class our lady was excellent her English was very good so we could understand what we needed to do. Our meals came out so well and so much food.

Great Experience with Jennifer AS a perfect Guide - We had a great tour and a nice Experience!
Everything was super organized! We got a lot of information about the products at the market! The boat ride was fun, but you have to be prepared for a lot of people! The cooking class with Jennifer, as well as shopping at the market with her, were super fun! She does a really good job and explains everything about the products and the cooking process! We were lucky and our group consisted of only a few people; an absolute recommendation if you're in Hoi An.

Hoi An Local Market Experience, cooking class & basket boat - I really enjoyed my experience with this tour group. Our tour guide was very friendly, helpful and had a very great knowledge about the local markets, cooking class and basket boat.
We went to the markets to select all the food for our cooking class, then we went on the basket boat tour near by the local river then we went back to cooking class carried out the cooking exercise. We cooked spring rolls, fish and rice and made papaya salad. The food was good which we had for lunch. I really enjoyed this experience worth doing it.

Scorching hot and yet fun filled day - Morning marketing to get ingredients for cooking class. Then we were on our way to do basket boat ride. Enjoyable cooking class lead by cheerful instructor. We ate what we prepared and cooked. My friends and I had a great time!

BIG TICK ✔️ - Such a good few hours! Well organised and thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the day. At the completion of our cooking, we consumed what we ate and it was sooo good. My husband even enjoyed the entire outing – his tick of approval says a lot!

Is recommended to anyone who loves the great Vietnamese food👌🫶🏼 - The shopping at the market and the subsequent cooking together was very informative and was great fun for us.
The trip with the basket boat we found not so authentic, was probably more than fun. We had imagined something else underneath.
Thank you for the unforgettable experience
