1.Cooking Class Hoi An:Local Market, Basket Boat, Fishing & Cooking

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,660 reviews · from $28Our pick

Spend about 4.5 hours combining Hoi An Market, a bamboo basket boat ride, net fishing, and a hands-on cooking lesson. Guides such as Hai, Lily, Ly, and Phuong lead the class, where you prepare four Vietnamese dishes, eat well, and receive recipes to use at home.

“Great value morning activity. Enjoyed the round boat ride. Lots of boats lots of colour and photo opportunities. The market walk was interesting but the cooking class was the highlight with lots of tips to use back home. Lovely food and plenty of it. Don’t eat a large breakfast. Lily was an amazing teacher.”

“We have just been on this trip with Bac, our guide, and Mr Hiep, who was driving our group on this trip. I would highly recommend it as it was very interesting to see Mekong Delta through the numerous experiences organised on this trip. It was two days but we felt that we spent a few days away as the programme is varied and kept us busy but was really well balanced. Getting up early on the second day was really worth it as the trip to the floating market was such a treat! Bac looked after us really well and always made sure we had what we needed. He…”

The negatives: 1) Our kayak tour was cancelled due to the low afternoon tide; 2) the bikes available for the bike tour were old, un maintained and frankly hazardous.; and 3) the tour guide was totally unprofessional in his behavior and speech.

“Great morning with activities and cooking class. We were a big group (15) with lots of kids. We started in markets picking up the food we were going to cook. The kids loved the coconut basket boats. This part was worth adding, especially if you have kids. The cooking class was awesome as they are dishes that you can cook at home. Delicious! This is actually the second time we have done this activity. Such lovely and friendly people.”
