Fun on the river followed by delicious food - We had a wonderful time in the coconut boats on the river! Optional spinning was a lot of fun and the journey down the river was very peaceful. Fishing for crabs (and releasing them after) war also good fun. The cooking class after was excellent, easy to follow the instructions and the food was delicious!

Great tour - highly recommend - This tour was incredible - our favorite in our time at Vietnam. You start the morning going to the market, then a boat ride with crab catching, and then finish the day cooking and eating. Everyone was so friendly and informative and the cooking class was so fun. I highly recommend this to anyone. They adapt the cooking to any dietary restrictions

Best experience in Vietnam! - Omg best experience of my Vietnam trip! You’ve to book this. Family owned business where you go to their house to learn how to cook 5 Vietnamese dishes from a chef and then enjoy your meal. What sets this apart is the bamboo boat ride and the kind generosity of the people in the family. Loved every min of it! They give 1 free water and you can cold drinks once you arrive.

Fun and Food - Had a lot of fun this morning walking around the busy Hoi An market with our tour group and guide An. He taught us about the fresh fruit, fish, meat and spices and herbs used for Vietnamese cooking ready for our cooking lesson. The bamboo boat experience with the locals from the township was lovely. We learnt about how the boats were made and how they are used even today. It was great being on the canal and trying out crab fishing 🦀 We met Tam the chef at a local restaurant. He was very knowledgeable, and passionate about food. He led us all, with the help of An, on a fast paced and fun class, making 5 traditional dishes. The food was so yummy and I’m excited to take the recipes away to test out at home.
