one of mt best experiences in vietnam thank u so much of taking me in with so much warmnth
Very friendly staff, we arrived late due to the heavy rain and they were very accommodating! Lovely service and cute lanterns to take home, thank you!
All was absolutely perfect. The family was adorable and I loved the activity. Merci beaucoup !!
We loved getting to customize our lanterns. There are dozens of fabric choices and endless combinations you can make. There were several people there who helped me with my lantern, without their help, it would’ve looked pretty terrible at the end. I really appreciated the staff who worked there, they were very helpful if you needed them. They explained the process clearly and gave us a short lesson on the history of the lanterns in hoi an. I would love to do this again in the future.
Amazing experience!! They really helped us make a beautiful end product! Also learned a lot about the history of lanterns here in Hoi An
Dubious at first, but was actually really enjoyable. They took us through how to build it from scratch and helped the whole time to make sure we were happy with the outcome. You get to choose from loads of different patterns for the outside as well so each one is different if you want.
what a super fun experience! The lantern class was very interesting. my trainer/helper was patient and very helpful. I would definitely recommend!
Absolutely amazing! What a lovely morning spent making lanterns. The family working there were lovely, so helpful, and very very friendly. Everything was explained well but you are also left to do things yourself once it’s been explained which means it’s a really nice and chilled environment. They explain the history of lanterns and then help you make your own and even when you make mistakes, they are super helpful! They also light them up for you so you can get some photos before packing them very neatly to fit in your suitcase. Would recommend this to anyone and everyone of all ages - what a
The staff are so lovely and helpful. The welcome drink was yummy. We really enjoyed the experience and our lanterns turned out great.
This was a lot of fun! The teachers were so helpful and patient, and did a great job of making our lanterns look good even when we would make little mistakes :) fun, quick experience to add to your time in Hoi An. Also makes you have a deeper appreciation for all the lanterns you see around town!
amazing really enjoyed talking to the staff there they were super helpful and really funny.
The class took around 2 hours including time for photos at the end. The staff were very friendly and helpful... would definitely recommend. Although it was sold as a class, we turned up (3 of us) and they put us on a separate table and we started straight away... so no waiting around. Lots of fabrics to choose from. Really enjoyed it!
