Guest Reviews
"My tour was altered as I was the only “customer” so I didn’t do this exactly but instead went to the buffalo cove and did a cooking class there instead. My guides were AMAZING! We chatted and discussed a lot, we ate great food, and I was made to feel at home. ☺️ I highly recommend booking with this organiser."
"Authentic Vietnamese experience! Tour guide for tour of museum and house translated to English through their phone. Cooking part doesn’t start for about two hours after start of tour. The women that teach the cooking class speak very good English and are very nice. We learnt a lot about Vietnamese food and culture. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed the meal. Overall, not the most cooking but a fun experience."
"Amazing! We learned how to make spring rolls but more importantly we got to meet this lovely family,hear their stories and try some local wine. Can’t recommend it enough, thank you so much for hosting us!"
"An excellent evening with Mr. Khoa, family and neighbors. Thoughtful explanations of the features of the house, and how they fit into local culture and daily life. Dinner was excellent. Altogether a wonderful experience."
"INCREDIBLE! Best night of my travels so far, the most gorgeous family, SO MUCH FOOD, and even ended the night in a karaoke booth with the family! Couldn’t recommend more."
"This was an incredible experience. I was the only one there that evening and it was probably one of the most memorable moments of my 3 months travelling around Asia. The guide was so warm and welcoming, he taught me so much about Vietnamese culture, and the food we cooked was delicious. I highly recommend this."
