Traveler Reviews
The tour leader was excellent and informative. We loved the buffalo riding, coconut boats and the Vietnamese cooking lesson was terrific. We learned a lot about Vietnam, its food and enjoyed the lunch we made. The whole trip was a lot of fun and our party (ages 15 - 75) all enjoyed it.
We had an amazing time on our excursion today! Quan was the best! Very informative, patient and great cooking skills. I highly recommend!
This was absolutely the best ever! Definitely book it now. Both the guide and the cooking class chef were absolutely amazing! You get to do it all in this tour ! A visit to the market, the rice fields, buffalo riding, basket boat and an amazing cooking experience. It is a one stop shop no brainer and we had an absolute blast!
very good day out the cooking class was excellent lily was a great teacher helping you to cook very good vietnamese food tour guide very helpful buffalo and boat riding was excellent fun
Lily our guide was great. The cooking class was wonderful! The water Buffalo was extremely underwhelming. Unfortunately, I was most looking forward to the basket boat ride, and it turned out to be an absolute disappointment! We were not at all given what we paid for. They promised a basket boat show, did not happen! They promised a ride through narrow Coconut Grove, did not happen! Instead basketball rower took us about two minutes around the corner and parked us along the side of the bank and we sat there for 20 minutes literally doing nothing. We were bored and hot! DON’T BOOK THIS TOUR!
Absolutely brilliant great day thanks
Was very disappointed with this tour. We were picked up went to a market and tried some fruit. We then went for a ride on the buffalo, whilst walking through cornfield there was no history or knowledge shared. Went on boat trip, we were expecting to see crab fishing, nothing apart from watching a talented man use leaves to make an animal out of. We then went to do cooking where we saw a rat in the corner on three occasions. We then cooked food but raw meat and fish was mixed together, and then using same equipment with cooked food. Disappointed with lack of hygiene, instructor did not wash his
So fun! Lily was a perfect, helpful host. Food was delicious.
14:15〜のコースに参加しました。集合までは明るいホイアンの街を散策できたし名物のカオラウも食べてからの集合だったのでちょうど良かったです。水牛ライドは短い時間でしたが日本では出来ないとても貴重な体験が出来ました。多少の獣臭はしますが特に服が汚れることもありませんでした。水牛は優しい目でとても可愛かったです。バスケットボートはエキサイティングでした。友達が酔うので私の舟は回りませんでしたが、ノリノリの欧米人達はグルングルン回されていました。ガンガン音楽をかけながら伝統的なボートでノリノリの船頭さんが面白かったです。英語が少ししかわからないので料理教室は見様見真似でしたが美味しく作れました。もっと簡単なものかと思いましたが、ガッツリ量もありお腹いっぱいになりました。揚げ料理多めなので黒烏龍茶を持って行くことをおすすめします。最後にレシピももらえました。ランタンが綺麗になった時間に解散なので夜の街ぶらも出来たし、半日だけどとても充実したツアーだと思います。ホイアンの街ぶらだけでは時間が余ってしまう人にはおすすめです！
