Fun and yum - We had a amazing time from the moment we were picked up! Our guide/chef was full of knowledge walking us through the food markets explaining all the fresh produce. We laughed so much on the bucket boats before heading to the cooking class. Again our chef was amazing - explaining each step of every dish and doing it with a smile and making us feel so welcome. Each dish was absolutely delicious. A great way to spend a day in the most beautiful town in the world. Highly recommend.

Must do experience - Great experience! The chef is very friendly and explains everything step by step. The ingredients are already prepped to use. The cooking is fast as it’s done in a frying pan/wok and ready to eat . It all tastes lovely. 😃 Highly recommend the whole day experience with the basket boat ride, food market & cooking class. 🙂

Well organised and fun - The instructor was great and happily adapted the recipes so they were vegetarian but without mushrooms. It was also great to see a bit more of Hoi An on the way to the venue.

Superb excursion with great variety. - We were lucky enough to be the only 2 on this experience which made it so much more special. Vang met us in Hoi An and walked us through the market and described many of the local produce. A boat ride along the river followed by transfer to basket boat for a journey through the coconut palms. The views and atmosphere away from the hoards of Korean tourists was well thought out. A short walk to Sabirama cooking school where we were met and received a neck and very thorough foot massage. Vang then led our cooking class which was fantastic. Everything was very well laid out and help was on hand if needed. 4 courses of lovely food with each dish thoroughly explained. I was very sceptical about this excursion prior to booking, but I shouldn’t have been. Vang was very pleasant, knowledgeable and more importantly friendly. I highly recommend this trip. The food was very very tasty! Thank you to all who made our afternoon a trip to remember.

A Highlight of Our Vietnam Trip - We’ve done cooking classes before, but this one stood out. The unique basket boat ride, the peaceful eco-tour, and the chance to make authentic dishes made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Fun, Educational, and Delicious! - We learned a lot about Vietnamese cuisine and had so much fun cooking it ourselves. The eco-tour and basket boat ride were unique additions to the experience. This is the best cooking class we’ve ever attended!

So Much More Than Just a Cooking Class - This was an immersive experience that included a fun basket boat ride, a scenic eco-tour, and an interactive cooking session. The team was fantastic, and the food was out of this world. Don’t miss it!

Was a quick walk through... - Was a quick walk through of the markets, probably not required as it was literally 5 minutes. There was no massage or water buffalo. We booked to include the water buffalo so there was something cool for our 7yo. Coconut boats, were super touristy, but so much fun. My husband and daughter got moved to another boat to be spun, then the guy spinning asked for 200vnd. Then we felt obliged to also give our boat guide 200vnd too. The cooking class itself was pretty good. We did 4 dishes that were all super yummy. In total the tour was only 3hrs, not 4 as advertised.
