My story has started since the year of 2016 when I decided to quit my job and moved to Hoi An to follow my dream since I was a child (to become a handicraft person). I started a new life quite hard by doing a lot of works for handicraft workshops here and I had studied many things during this time. The year of 2018, I knew its the right time to stared doing something new, with the desire to share the knowledge and having a chance to meet friends come from all over the world who have the same hobby. My leather and bookbinding workshop was born. I hope it would be nice experience for everybody. Love! At "Thư Quán Nhà Đậu" (Bean House Books cafe) A great place with a lot of books, good drinks and right next to it is our workshop. Hope you will have a good time with us.

      Amazing must do!
      Had such a great time in this class. I ended up being the only one this class but I know now why this is so popular! I learned so much about the art of drink making, about the bar itself, about the teacher teaching and got to take lots of notes and learn so many new things. I made a passion fruit drinks (highly recommend cause they grow in Vietnam) and it was SO good. I’m still dreaming about the drinks and looking forward to making my shrimp rims for drinks. Thank you!

      A Fantastic Workshop
      We both thoroughly enjoyed this leather workshop with Anton. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. We feel educated to work with leather in the future if we wish and live the items we made during the workshop.

      Unforgettable Experience
      Very unforgettable experience to have dine in this boat. The environment was great and food was delicious. Our waitress LAMNIE was very attentive and efficient. Night city view along the river is gorgeous. Live music was not bad. I think this activity is a must when visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Suggestion for improvement : * Security guard on the PORT need to be more hospitable to visitor especially visitor who has shown PAID ticket upon entering the area. * Song selection from live music must suitable with age of the audience.

      Do not use company they will let you down with an hours notice but take your money
      An hour before pick up I was contacted by WhatsApp to say they had over booked but if I paid another £56 which was outside my budget we could still go. My only option was a peddle bike tour I’d booked mopeds for a reason. I went back to tour operators Viator who said they would get back to me in 72 hours. If you know it’s fully booked and take money is wrong. It was my last day in Hoi An so I could not book anything else

      Great Experience
      We booked the day before and had immediate response. Provided the information they needed via whats app. Despite some rain at the end, we had great views of all the other boats, colorfully lighted shorelines and of course the Dragon Bridge fire and water show.

      Am phu cave and marble mountain - big disappointment
      Am phu cave and marble mountain - horrible experience. If you don't have a guide you won't understand anything, no where anything is written in English. Cave was dirty, not maintained well, inside the cave had horrible statutes with no explanations...marble mountain: again everything looked man-made and spoilt and UN maintained...nothing felt natural. We just left as soon as reached....wasted money and time. Da nang has a big problem of English ...locals don't even understand basic English words...who are dealing with tourists. Thanks to google translate we somehow managed.

      Lovely day learning the art of leatherworking
      We had a lovey morning at Anton! We made passport covers which now will always remind us off vietnam! Anton is a really patience teacher which will help you make something beautiful to take home!

      A new level of understanding of the art.
      A fantastic experience if you are looking to expand your understanding of the Vietnamese culture and the art of calligraphy. After the workshop, your appreciation of the art form will increase and the skills you need to start learning it yourself will be in place.

      Do it if u want to experience releasing the lantern
      Very short ride down the river. Queue wasn't very long to get on the boat, so it was ok. Releasing the paper made lanterns in the river was a first for us, so we were excited to see the colours and to experience it. Apart from that there is nothing special.

      A must-see show whilst visiting Da Nang
      What a beautiful show, surpassed all our expectations. The music, the skill of the artists, the costumes and the singing. Only negative, English translations poor and too fast.

      Ok for kids to experience short cruise ride
      Ok experience. Beautiful dragon bridge. Fun people on my boat so we had lots of singing and dancing. Chilly breeze as it was drizzling.

      Poor river tour
      Simple river trip with the possibility to see the city lights and a little Dragon Bridge fire show on weekends. Before the boat leaves, there is a simple, non-traditional dance show. We - and local guides - had huge difficulties to find our reservation, while there was no stall for this company. Come at least 40 min before the departure. The best of this tour was some nighttime pics of the town. I do not recommend joining.

      Would not recommend
      Organisation was poor. It is a karaoke cruise all in Vietnamese. Non English speaking. It was an experience, that’s for sure. The dragon show itself is good to see, but not amazing. Possibly would look at watching from the shore.

    I booked this experience via Airbnb (not part of Da Nang Cooking tour). I was the only student and she was able to meet me in the afternoon instead of the morning option. I really enjoyed learning how to make a book from selecting the leather, the paper, the stitching, etc. Zen was patient with me and was really detailed on making sure my finished product was good - making adjustments and correcting any mistakes I had made. I loved my leather journal!
