Highlights
  • Nha Trang - From your booked resort in Nha Trang, your English-speaking guide welcomes you in the early morning before we leave the tropical shores of one of Vietnam’s most alluring beach destinations for a more in-depth journey into the countryside. The drive to the charming Memento Country Home, around 15 kilometres from downtown Nha Trang is our starting point of this authentic trail.

Upon arrival at the country home, hop on a bicycle for a leisurely ride in the countryside. Friendly villagers and local farmers are eagerly awaiting your arrival to show guests how rice alcohol and paper are made, as well as how herding pigs are among the most sought-after experiences en route

  • Dien Bien Phu - Pedalling further and Dien Binh appears behind the horizon. Known for its bounty orchards and star apple trees, it can be a colourful spectacle before harvest season arrives. Before cycling the final stretch back to Memento, the last stop is made at the local market to buy ingredients for your upcoming cooking challenge.
  • Nha Trang - Return by bike back to the country home and get a hands-on fun cooking class, guided by a local chef. You may try to make a Vietnamese rice pancake and a spring-roll on the wood-fired clay stove, crowned with a banana flower salad. Skipping trying out your own cooking is a must and a cooking class Vietnamese style is not the same when sharing your experiences with those teaching you the culinary ropes.

After lunch, you can opt for relaxing activities like reading a book in the shadowed garden, swimming, hanging around or fishing at the rice field pond. You can also indulge yourself at the homemade spa with a herbal bath (optional) to get back refreshed and rejuvenated.

Return to your hotel around 2 pm, bringing with you great memories and improved cooking skills.

Great experience - Had a very good experience with this excursion. Was nice cycling through village roads. I was on a cruise and Huy (our tour guide) picked us up from Nha Trang Port. Went the extra mile and took us to Dam Market, even though it wasn’t part of the agreed iternary. The cooking class was good as well. Spoke very good English. I was charged an extra £33 each for the tour operator to meet us at the port. Which is too expensive in my view might be cheaper if you meet them somewhere outside the port, as taxi are very cheap. Use Grab app so inexpensive and easy.
