Brilliant and well worth it! - This was the perfect mixture of experiencing some culture in a very fun and delicious way whilst being interactive. We did this with 3 kids aged 10,13,15 and we all loved it so much. Even our fussy eater ate and loved every meal we made. Our guide, Kei was knowledgable, friendly and made the whole experience lovely. Would highly recommend this as an afternoon activity. And brilliant value for money. We travelled from our hotel in denang and was perfect.

Authentic Vietnamese cooking that I know I’ll use at home. - Ly was an excellent guide, very welcoming and helpful. He taught me how to finely chop garlic finally haha. But also we cooked and ate many dishes I know I’d love to cook again at home. Such a lovely place to visit as well.
