Lily is a great chef, we had lots of fun and the food turned out delicious. We could spend extra time in Hoi An for a small extra charge, which was great. Boat ride was short, but fun. However, we did not have a great experience with the first driver, he seemed to either be drunk or have a condition and we did not feel safe on the ride.

Everything was amazing! We were picked up at our hotel and dropped off at the house of Lily our chef. Before we did the cooking class we went on a coconut boat and were driven around the coconut island. The driver made us beautiful "rings" out of coconut leaves which were very cute. After the ride we were greeted with amazing passion fruit juices and with two more guests started the cooking class. All in all we prepared four dishes which tasted fantastic!! Our chef Lily was so funny and patient and also really catered to our dietary preferences. We even received a nice frozen Jogurt for desser

It was wonderful! We felt like home and like we would have ate at our moms place. Lily and her family have warmly welcomed us. And the recipes/ dishes we cooked, have been a really nice variation of the Vietnamese Kitchen.

This was an amazing morning ! The host lily was so kind and planned such a lovely menu. The coconut ride was a great experience, our guide even made us a bamboo present. The cooking class is in a beautiful setting in a family home, very clean and well organised. You get to cook a huge amount of delicious food, very inclusive for vegetarians and vegans. Overall would highly recommend this !

Absolutely loved our vegetarian cooking class! The food was divine and the kids really enjoyed ourselves. They were very hands on with helping our little boy who has Down’s syndrome also experiencing the class. Defo recommend. The basket boat ride was interesting too - we had a stint at catching crabs!

Lovely relaxed evening making tofu and mushroom soup, papaya salad, veggie spring rolls and pho. The basket boat was also very enjoyable. They made beautiful rings out what I believe is bamboo shoots. Overall great way to spend the evening with very attentive and kind people.

We had a great cooking class and probably the tastiest food we had while travelling Vietnam. Our guide was funny and a good teacher. First I was a bit surprised to be the only vegetarian since I booked a vegetarian cooking class, but it was not a problem at all. Everyone get its own products and ingredients to prepare the different dishes and then everyone eats together. So this is great for everyone, no matter if you have allergies or don’t want to eat different things, they take good care of you. You get to cook traditional dishes and later on you get the recipes sent to you via WhatsApp. Ov

Overnight cruises sleep on board; day cruises do not. Cabins on the boats we book are private with an ensuite bathroom, and the grade of boat is stated in the option you choose rather than left vague. Bay conditions occasionally force an itinerary change, which the operator decides on the morning and is not something we can promise around.
