We had a great day today at this cooking school. The food was some of the best we had in Vietnam. Everything was well organised and help was always at hand if you missed a step. Looking forward to replicating at home. Thanks to the team.

We really enjoyed this, walking around the markets being able to ask lots of questions, the boat trip was nice as it is cooler on the water, fun watching how to make rice milk and then the class itself. I'm a keen cook at home and I didn't think it was too easy or simple, especially as I have never... More

My husband and I were unsure about paying so much for the cooking class as it is very experience in comparison to other activities in the area. It turned out to be wonderful and worth the money. We mainly enjoyed it once we were on site learning about how rice milk is made and then starting the class. We liked... More

This was a fantastic cooking class that takes you trough the local market, and by boat(s) to their great school. The property was beautiful and they grow many different plants. The tour guide Mo was great with excellent English and a good sense of humor as well.

Mo, guide and Binh, Chef were so wonderful and a accommodating to the fact I am a vegetarian. Apparently a little more expensive than other cooking schools. However, they take you to the market, boat ride through the countryside and there is the famous spinning wheel. Loved it

This must be the best cookery class ever! It is really had to add anything else to the previous reviews. We were picked up at the hotel, went to the market to buy the food, then on to a boat to get to the village where the cookery class took place. We first stopped at a little house to learn... More

We were looking for a cooking class that might offer something more adventurous and a prior review of the Deluxe class looked intriguing. Our class was just myself and my husband and it exceeded all of our expectations! Mr. Thai Kien picked us up at our hotel and took us to the market where we spent well more than an... More

For a foodie this was a fantastic expeirence. Starting in the market you get an insight into the delights that await you as you make your purchases for the days cooking. Mo was a great tour guide, with a good grasp of English-she made the trip more enjoyable with her warm nature and sense of humor. Being able to cook... More

This was a fantastic cooking tour, from the intro to the markets to the boat ride - but the actual cooking was the best bit by far. Lots of individual attention and guidance (including to my 8 year old - wonderfully fresh food and a beautiful setting. Special thanks to Mo for her help and clear informative way of presenting.
