"Great! Floating boats so much fun! Coffee making is short and sweet, nice experience. Lantern making was so cute and tons of fabric to choose from! They even package it up for you to take home. Cooking class was super fun and yummy dinner."

"Our family loved today ! From the boat ride to cooking and making lanterns . Ages 8-18 ! Amazing food . Beautiful people ☺️"
"I enjoyed this combo tour so much! It was 100% worth booking. The lantern-making class was surprisingly quick and the quality was really impressive. The basket boat ride was a fun experience. It’s a bit touristy, but I believe it’s a must-do when visiting Hoi An. The cooking class was so well organized. I honestly don’t know how they managed to change all the plates, clean everything, and prepare for the next step so quickly. From the assistants to the instructors, everything was top-notch. A big thank you to Lily and Hanna for making today so enjoyable. Thank you as well for the transportation and the lovely little souvenirs! Highly recommended!"
"Transportation work well Both ways. It was a four activities afternoon. Starting with a boat ride which was fun. Then we had cooking class and Lili managed 16 participants from very different locations and the various food requirements eeally well. We did four delicious dishes. Afterwards enjoyed our meal together. Then we die a vietnamese coffee. At the end we did our own lantern with help whenever needed. I enjoyed this after oon very much."
"I had such an amazing experience! I was picked up from outside my hotel and taken straight to the building where our host, Lily, took great care of us. She was so helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic! Hannah and Henry were also very helpful! I would highly recommend this for anyone in the area. Such great value for money and both informative and fun!"
"It was incredibly good and awesome. The host is so kind with kids (8 and 4 yo) and the lantern making was a good craft to bring home and so beautiful. Cooking was super and it was so fulfilling even for the kids! And yummy. Thanks"
