Amazing way to spend a morning! - We had a fantastic experience with Phu Lanh Travel in Hoi An on their half-day tour! From 8:30am to around 1pm, every part of the trip was well-organised, fun, and engaging. The day started with a guided visit to the local market, where we learned about traditional Vietnamese ingredients and local life. Then we headed to the nearby coconut forest for a ride in the iconic basket boats—a super fun and unique experience, complete with spinning boats and music (I hope you like Gangnam Style) After the boat ride, we headed upstairs to make our own lanterns. Staff were very patient as I made more than one mistake, and the lanterns are a lovely keepsake. We then had a cooking class and prepared a delicious four-course meal from scratch. The instructors were friendly, patient, and made the process enjoyable for all skill levels. Everything we made tasted amazing—fresh, flavourful, and authentic. Overall, the tour struck a perfect balance of culture, activity, and food. We left with full stomachs and great memories. I have forgotten her name but our guide was so wonderful, she took the time to explain everything and looked after me as a vegetarian. Highly recommend Phu Lanh Travel for anyone visiting Hoi An!

Vietnamese Culture in Half a Day - Hami patiently taught us lantern making & cooking, shared Vietnam’s traditions, and the fun basket boat ride made this 4–5 hr cultural experience unforgettable!

Just do it…..great morning. - This tour which I did with my 38 year old son and two single ladies. It was fabulous, our guide and cooking teacher had great English skills and sense of humour. The basket boat ride was good fun, the lantern making surprisingly relaxing and the food we cooked was delicious. I’m sure everyone would enjoy this half day tour, an excellent way to spend a morning. Even my son loved it.

Basket making and cooking class review - We had a fantastic afternoon on the tour. The ladies were very welcoming and took us through the plan for the afternoon before taking us to the local market. We then headed to the their main building by the river to complete the rest of the activities. Our teenage sons, who to be honest didn't want to do it, had a great time. The lantern making was fun as was the coconut boat ride but the overwhelming favourite part for us was the cooking class. Alongside another couple we made 3 dishes and starters which we then ate for dinner on the balcony. For the price and experience it's been one of the best value tours we've ever taken.

We had a wonderful day! - We had a wonderful day! After being picked up at the hotel on time, we walked around the market together and learned a lot about local food. Then we each made a beautiful lantern that you can fold for the flight and make big again at home. After a super crazy and fantastic boat trip through the enchanting coconut forest, we cooked various dishes together and then ate them. The children were also very well integrated. Thank you very much for an impressive day that we won't forget in a hurry.
