If you have limited time in Hoi An, do this tour! - Such a great way to experience Hoi An! I was in Hoi An for less than 2 days and we chose this tour as our main activity. It was a perfect mix of activities -- we started touring the market and trying different local fruits, overall a really cool visual and sensual experience. Then we went on the boat ride where the highlight was catching (and releasing) small crabs with makeshift poles and bait. Then came the cooking class! We had a fantastic time cooking, and it really demystified the dishes we'd been eating in Vietnam. I can't wait to try them at home!

A very informative and happy day. - We really enjoyed every part of this tour. The walk through the market to discover new food of Vietnam, the fun trip in the round boat and catching crabs, but the best was the cooking class, easy to follow and fun making our own delicious food! Thank you!

Delicious and nutritious - Such a cool experience being taken through the market to buy the ingredients for the cooking class. The tour guide explained all the unique foods and what they’re used for in Vietnamese culture.
Then we went on the coconut boat rides and crab fishing, really cool as well and you can be spun in the boat if you want for a small extra fee.
Returned to where we did the cooking class! Very informative and easy to follow. Food was delish and provided our email so we could be sent the recipes.
Definitely recommend doing the cooking class if you’re interested in learning how to cook Vietnamese food. The coconut boat ride we probably wouldn’t choose to do on their own but paired with the cooking class was cool.
Staff were super friendly and kind! We had an awesome time

Hoi An Day out - It was an eye opening day at Hoi An City with a visit to the market, learning about fruit and tasting unique fruits. Then we were given a fantastic ride on the round bamboo boat, catching crab then did a cooking class in Vietnamese way.
