Basket Boat Experience and Cooking Class - This was one of the best ways to spend the afternoon and evening in Hoi An. We enjoyed the bamboo basket boat experience and loved the cooking class. The cooking class was so much fun and the food tasted fantastic!

Awesome! - What a great way to spend an afternoon! A trip to the market to pick up some local ingredients, some crab fishing in a basket and then on to cook up a feast. Mr Cu who runs the show is the man. Great sense of humour and a beautiful family. The star of the show is head chef One - incorrect spelling sorry! She is an excellent teacher, very patient but you better pay attention, she has high standards!

Basket boating & Cooking class - our favourite tour! - We absolutely loved our tour booked with Ms Hanh. We did the morning tour & started with walking through the produce market, which was VERY interesting and eye opening at times, We then went to the basket boats and even though it was raining (they provided plastic jackets and hats) we had an awesome time. Two passengers per boat & a driver. The drivers were friendly and some very funny. Some boats had music and the driver would sing away while we went down the river, We weren’t luck to catch any crabs, but we absolutely love this part of the tour. Onto the cooking class with Ms Hanh which was awesome. We all took turns helping with each dish and then would sit to eat before moving to the next dish. Fresh Vietnamese rolls, fried spring rolls, pancakes & Pho soup. Ms Hanh and her team were lovely, friendly & very helpful. We would highly recommend!!

Fun cooking and coconut boat experience - We took this tour with 2 adults, a 6yo and a 9yo. It was the highlight of our trip. We had a fun walk through the local markets and a lively coconut boat ride where my son caught 6 coconut crabs. Our cooking class was hands-on and we made all the dishes seen in the picture. Our guide was funny and attentive. We definitely recommend this tour!
