We had an excellent day. The market tour was informative and the cooking class had many delicious dishes we will cook again at home. Informative and fun day out for family!
Really great cooking class experience and coconut boat tour - prepare to spend a small amount if you want to be spun in the coconut boats as it’s in a second boat that’s not included in the tour but it was really almost nothing. The cooking instructor made things really fun and kept an eye on everyone’s food to make sure we were all on track. Everything was delicious and I highly recommend!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed both the cooking class and the coconut boat experience. It’s great to know our instructor helped create a fun atmosphere and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the cooking session. We’re also happy you loved the dishes you prepared. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to see you again for another memorable experience in Hoi An!
Very glad we took this market, cooking class and coconut boat ride tour. Learned how to tell sweet and sour mango, and to tell red or white flesh dragon fruit etc Thought we would just cook one but actually did 4.5 dishes that we ate. Learned several cooking tricks. Even though we cooked our own dishes, they all tasted GREAT! Coconut boat ride was fun and peaceful. You can pay extra to experience being rocked and spinning We had an afternoon tour that started at 1:30. And ended around 5pm. Didn’t need dinner Great and fun tour. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the market visit, learned new tips about local fruits, and had fun cooking more dishes than expected—all with great results! It’s wonderful to know you liked the coconut boat ride as well and found the tour well-paced and satisfying. Thank you for the high recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back in Hoi An again soon!
