A wonderful way to spend an afternoon and evening - We all really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was both entertaining and informative. Visiting the markets and trying new fruit was an unexpected highlight as well enjoying the company of the other members of the tour group. I’d highly recommend this tour.

Lovely boat ride and amazing cooking experience - The whole experience was fantastic even if it wasn't quite what we were expecting: we didn't get to do the shopping for the ingredients in the description but, the boat ride with a local paddling was a lovely experience. The cooking afterwards was amazing...the food was delicious and they were very happy to accommodate dietary needs. Very friendly chef, and his wife, treated us to fresh ingredients and a great introduction to Vietnamese cooking.

Awesome! - Had a great morning with Anna! First we visited a local food market and then we went in the coconut boat to make some delicious dishes. Anna explained everything very well and the cooking class was easy to follow ;)

Very enjoyable - a great way to heighten Hoi An experience - Really enjoyable morning, we visited the local market to collect ingredients. We then went on the coconut boats through the mangroves and watched the guide fish for crabs. We then returned for the main event and cooked some traditional Vietnamese dishes which were amazing. Thoroughly recommend
