Best Hoi An cooking class in Vietnam - Best cooking class in Hoi An. Had so much fun touring the local market, then off to a coconut boat ride and finally a hands on cooking class. The team of chefs were awesome. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Vietnam. Thank you again!

Highly recommended - It was a very nice workshop. They took us on a nice tour of the market, a coconut boat ride, and then to prepare the food. Everything was organized perfectly. They adapted our part for vegetarians, and I am sensitive to gluten, and explained exactly what is possible and what is not. Bottom line - highly recommended.

Great class and fun little boat ride - Such fun! The coconut boats were silly but the enthusiasm of the boat-drivers and the guide made what could have been a silly tourist experience into so much fun. Our guide "One" was the perfect blend of informative, encouraging, and funny. One of the best guides I've had in Vietnam so far.

Nice excursion! - Great family experience! We loved the cooking class and the walk in the baskets. Too bad there is no French guide.

Superb - The tour was fantastic. Well planned. Local market experience similar to our Indian market.Basket boat ride was super fine and first time I got this ride. The cooking of spring roll made me realised that I can cook.

Great tour and cooking class - Plenty of photo opportunities - Had a great time. We met a bunch of lovely people, including our friendly and informative chef/guide, Tong, who led us on a tour through the markets and then took our cooking class. Easy enough, even for people who are not such confident cooks. Great tasting food to enjoy together at the end. Tong shared both meat and vegetarian copies of the recipes, to whoever wanted one, by email. The tour and cooking class were very professional and organised with plenty of opportunities for great photos.

Nice and peace - The host was friendly and picked us up on his motorbike, taking us through scenic small roads in the paddy fields—it was really interesting! Instead of going to Hoi An market, we stopped in a small village to buy from local vendors. The food was delicious, and even though we weren't experienced cooks, with our guide's help, we successfully made spring rolls and pancakes. Hurray! Highly recommend this host!
