Great food - Absolutely loved our experience with great teacher Bon. Food was well planned we had fun choosing all the herbs, veggies in preparation for our meal. Cooked as well, for the price you get a vg night out.

A great evening - This was my first cooking class as part of a trip and I could not be more pleased. Not only did I get to learn to make some local dishes, I got to experience the local culture through a visit to a neighborhood market to procure the ingredients for the meal and through a lovely evening of instruction and dinner in a residential setting. The staff were really amazing and the class had both experienced as well as first time cooks. Everyone had a lovely evening.

Great class and easy to follow - This was a fun class, with easy to follow instructions in a very relaxed and social setting. For someone who doesn’t cook a lot this was a great introduction to Vietnamese food.

This was a truly amazing experience! - Let me start of by saying that this was one of the best decisions of my life! The guides were always kind and friendly and every little last piece of food was delicious. I learned many fascinating things about the different foods and culture while having fun. The guides also let us know about the ingredients in each of the tasted foods to ensure the safety of the group. It is always good to know that the people who are guiding you through a foreign country actually care about your well being. With the group I felt right at home and I never felt out of place. I went on the tour with my wife and she 100 percent feels the same way as me! We will definitely take part in this tour in the future! I am only giving it four stars because I am sad that I had to leave so soon!
