Full description

This is a 3.5-hour experience in Hanoi. It is run by Rose Kitchen Hanoi, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Gion is Kyoto's historic entertainment district, the streets of wooden machiya houses around Hanamikoji where the geiko and maiko of the Gion Kobu district still work. They are working professionals on their way to engagements, not performers for the street, and Kyoto has banned photography in the private lanes; an evening walk with a guide who explains the ochaya system is the respectful way to see it. Tea ceremony sessions in Gion teach the basic form of matcha preparation in an hour. Kimono rental for a day, with dressing and hair, is an established business around the district and is welcomed rather than resented.

Superbe activité en famille ! Le lieu était très accueillant, bien décoré et très propre. Kim était adorable et très pédagogue. Elle nous a donné beaucoup d’explications sur la nourriture et les traditions vietnamiennes. Les préparations auxquelles nous avons bien contribué étaient excellentes. Bref nous recommandons a 100%

Yes, if you say so at booking. Fish sauce is in most dishes, so vegetarian, vegan and shellfish allergies need naming specifically; the guide swaps stalls and dishes. 'Khong cay' means not spicy. Street stalls with a queue and fast turnover are the safest, which is exactly where a good guide takes you.
