A fantastic fun filled afternoon. Surpassed expectations! Seriously, go do it! - Where to begin. It was a fantastic afternoon spent. Picked up and dropped off at the hotel which was very convenient. Mr Cú was such a funny and entertaining host. We started off at the market, being shown all local ingredients and got to taste a few things along the way. It was wonderful! Then we went on to the Basket Boat trip (after an unexpected serving of delicious tea and a coconut snack). The fisherman who steered then little circular boats were so cheerful and endearing. You couldn't help but admire their efforts and enthusiasm for their jobs. We had a great 'driver' on the boat who spun us round and made us laugh so much. Then on to the cooking class section of the trip. The place was set up properly and organised so well. We were split into groups with a leader each. Mr Cú's wife and cousin were leading the other groups. They were all super friendly and helpful. You get to chop, slice, prepare and cook several dishes. The whole activity was super fun, insightful and entertaining. Everything was so delicious and at the end you all get to sit down for dinner and savour all your hard work. Yum! We loved Mr Cús humour, his passion and his ethos of also helping contribute to towards the community with disabilities by employing staff members with communication difficulties on the back of his personal journey of bringing up his eldest son who has cerebral palsy. You can feel the heart and passion from the entire family working together to provide this wonderful experience and service. It was very moving. We enjoyed our day immensely and I can't recommend this highly enough. I personally want to thank Mr Cú (sorry if i am not using the correct lettering) personally for being such a brilliant host and beautiful spirit. It was so much more enjoyable and fun and memorable than I could've imagined it to be. Loved it!

Absolutely outstanding - must do. Very professional and quality ingredients unlike some other cheaper options. - We had a brilliant guide, Mo who guided us around the markets and the took us through four recipes which were yummy. The bamboo boating was fun as well. Top tip: book the morning tour as the markets are less busy and also the food we cooked makes a nice lunch.

Great value - Cooking class was very fun! Good food and Anne was great. The boat was also a really cool experience along with the market, worth booking.

Fantastic, loved it - Absolutely fantastic, from pick up to drop off.... The cookery class was incredible, I'm a shockingly bad cook, but my food was delicious 😁😁😁 And then the ride in the bambo village was just fantastic, such a great happy vibe, singing smiling, fun fun fun, lived it.. I'm a solo traveller so dont be put off about taking part in this activity, it's a great experience. Thank you for such a wonderful day, one I will remember 😘

Best tour - Such a interesting and fun tour. Loved going to see the markets. The coconuts riding was fun too. There is fun music when u go into the middle of the river. Our tour guide Anna was so good! She had really good tips when doing the cooking class. Made such yummy food

So much fun! - Thao was very friendly and nice! I learned a lot about Vietnamese food in only a few hours and I met great people:) Would highly recommend!

Fun. Great experience. - This was an excellent experience. What I loved most was the cooking class and visiting the market. Anna, our guide, was exceptional. She had so much information to share and her cooking skills were fantastic. I loved being able to experience ancient methods to make rice paper for our rice papà we rolls. We had children age 12 & 14 who also learned and loved it too. Thanks Anna

Highly recommend - Highly recommend a cooking tour with Hoi an Cooking school (Ba Tran). Tour of the market was interesting and informative followed by a mad coconut boat trip followed by an afternoon of cookery class. Delicious food and cold beers! Highly recommend 👍

Great Fun!! - I really enjoyed the whole experience! Everything was great fun and I would recommend doing this tour. Ngoc Anh was the chef helping us and her English was very good and she was very helpful and patient! She took us to the local markets to buy all our ingredients and explained all the different foods which are used in Vietnamese cooking. We made our own fresh rice paper, then made rice paper rolls out of our rice paper! We cooked Vietnamese rice pancake and enjoyed watching how to make pho noodle with beef and sweet mung bean soup with coconut milk! All the dishes tasted amazing and it was a really great experience. The basket boats were really good fun also! Highly recommend.

Fantastic day - Great day out, really enjoyed the market tour, basket boats , and the cooking lesson was excellent! Highly recommend 👍🏻
