Fantastic! - Our Bay Mau Eco Cooking Tour was a standout experience and a great way to spend a day in Hoi An. The itinerary is well-paced, starting with an informative market visit and followed by a fun trip through the coconut forest in a bamboo basket boat. Our chef, Trang, was fantastic - highly knowledgeable about local ingredients and very patient throughout the lesson. Trang's assistant was also very helpful, ensuring everything ran smoothly behind the scenes so we could focus on the cooking. We prepared four traditional dishes that were genuinely delicious, and the instructions were clear enough to replicate at home. It’s a professional, high-quality tour that offers excellent value for anyone interested in Vietnamese cuisine.

A great cooking experience - a family with older children - This was a great experience with Chef Hon! A whistle stop tour of the market (enough time), the coconut boats, but by far the best bit was the cooking which is what we went for! We are a family and our teen and 20 year old loved it too. Great traditional cooking techniques and lovely dishes to make and eat. Delish! Hon was a great cooking instructor - well done! Recommend.

Delicious Food! - I highly recommend doing this cooking class! It started with a market tour and the coconut boat ride, then we got to the cooking. Our guide/chef was named Kieu and she was amazing! She was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She was very patient as she taught us how to make everything. We made 4 dishes and they were so delicious!
