Fun experience - Well organized and fun tour. The coconut boats were a little bit gimmicky but the food we made and the cooking experience was great. Would recommend for others.

FUN fun fun - Great day,great tour and lots of fun. We were taken to a market out of Hoi An and shown around and picked up groceries for lunch. We then headed to the bamboo boats and that was an hilarious fun experience. Then on to the cooking class,again lots of fun and what a great lunch we had. The guide Ha was absolutely fantastic and very caring and professional. Must do 10 out of 10 experience. Thankyou.

Great food and six years on up enjoyed it. - Took the whole family 13 year old to 2 year old. The two year old didn’t enjoy it but the class was very accommodating. He watched a show most of the time, but he loved the fishing boat part and walking the market. My six year old actually really enjoyed the cooking portion. He particularly enjoyed flipping the pancake. My wife and i enjoyed it too. The spring rolls may be the best we’ve ever eaten. They had a special patterned rice wrap that is only in Vietnam—very good. I also enjoyed the cooking flame they ignited in my pan. I’d do it again.

The land of lantern's Hoi Ann village vietnam very near to Danang - Hoi Ann in Vietnam is a must visit place. The land of lantern's would be the perfect name for this place. I visited in the evening when the entire place was lighted with lanterns of different shapes and colours. The trees, the river, the boats all so beautifully decorated with these awesome lanterns lighting mind heart and soul. A wish fulfilling lanterns are sold everywhere which is to be softly floated in the river asking for such peace and light descend in our hearts. I would suggest visitors to stay in Hoi Ann for a day or two as it would really be worth it. Lot of good hotels and lovely Indian food is available here.

Highly recommended - What a fabulous fun session we had. Everything about this activity was so well organised. Ha our guide and chef was good fun and spoke very good English. The group size was perfect (8) Activities included market visit, refreshments, coconut boat ride plus the cookery lesson. A wide range of ingredients and dishes made some simple others more complex. Overall a great day out

Nhung is the best!!!! - Nhung was a great guide through the markets keeping the content light hearted while also informational and interesting to the attendees! She made very funny jokes and made a point to remember everyone's name! The food was superb and getting the recipe sheet was a bonus! Me and my friends loved the experience
