Had such a wonderful day with this cooking tour group. Going through the market was great, our guide very informative and knowledgeable. She taught us what herbs, fruit and fresh fish to buy. Always happy to answer questions. The river trip on the boats was enjoyable and not too long. I really enjoyed the cooking class, the food was amazing.... More

We were taken to the market and purchased all the ingredients. Not only did we get to taste 11 dishes we learned how to cook them as well. Great class and... More

Best value for money on our trip to Vietnam. My 7 year old daughter and I had an absolute ball in the markets, on the boats and in the cooking class (NB sold as a half day tour but ran over 5 hours). Our expert guide and chef, Thai, had us all captivated and gave us great tips along the... More

Then onto the boat for the trip up to the island, transfered to a smaller boat for a trip around the coconut forest and then on to the cooking school. And thats where the fun really did... More

My wife and I recently visited Hoi An during our honeymoon and were keen to give a cooking class a go. Boy, are we glad we chose this place!! Mr Thai (owner/chef) called shortly after we made the reservation online and offered us a private class for an extra $24 per person, but it included 7 courses compared to the... More

Our cooking tour began with a shopping trip to fresh market along the riverbanks near old town. Although I had been to the same market on a number of prior occasions, it was always with a cursory glance and I stayed on the main road. However; our guide from the cooking tour company walked us through the various sections of... More

We made some really traditional Vietnamese dishes, we took a trip around the market & along the river. It was a lovely day! The food was really fresh and just a lot! We learned some cooking & spring roll wrapping techniques and the Vietnamese cook was really funny & professional. One of the best tours we did in Vietnam.

We thought this cooking experience was so well organised and great fun. From the moment of pick up from our hotel we were impressed and ended up having a brilliant day. The trip round the market was an eye opener and our guide talked us through all the ingredients that we were buying. The cooking course itself was very well... More

Couldn't recommend the private class enough! Perhaps the only problem was after a full day on the beach and 7 (yes 7) unique and exotic dishes later, we had to crawl back to the taxi to be deposited, well fed and watered, into a deep and nearly non-recoverable food coma. The menu is not chosen - you get to pick... More
