Cooking class with Trang! Excellent! - Amazing cooking tour! We had Trang and she was brilliant. So much fun. Highly recommend if you are staying in Hoi An!
Trang took us to the market and we bought ingredients (they pay for them so no extra cost), and then a little boat tour down the river to our class.
Very full at the end so you’ll save money on lunch too.
Thank you Trang!

Wonderful experience - Mo was the best tour guide and the tour itself was amazing! We generally do not like organised tours too much because it often ends up that they wanna sell you stuff- this was totally not the case here. From the beginning until the end everything went very smoothly, it was very well organised and they really make you have an amazing time. Everything took place as described: Pick up, market tour, basket boat tour, crab fishing, explanation how rice products are made and finally the cooking class with amazing food. The cooking class itself takes place in an amazing scenery on the riverside with shadow, fresh air amd drinks. Our guide Mo was very talented and spoke very good English. Also our basket boat driver was very nice. We totally recommend!

Fantastic - My friends and I did this cooking class as it was recommended to us by other people we met in Hoi An. The class exceeded our expectations as Phong our teacher/chef was very good at explaining how to cook each meal, ensuring that everyone managed to cook excellent food !
