Best thing we booked! - By far our most favourite thing we did whilst travelling through Vietnam! The la lady who lead the event (sorry I can’t recall her name :-( ) was lovely. The three activities - Market visit, boats, lantern making and cooking were perfectly organised and just the right amount of time on each activity. Great fun! Do it. My 15 year old daughter loved it and the lanterns made the flight home too!!

Family fun, great little tour, delicious food - This was a great tour to do with teens. Definitely a bit touristy but fun, and just the right amount of time/range of activities. As we were staying out of the pick up zone we met our guide at the markets and did a quick 10 minute walk around where she explained about the different fruits/vegetables/noodles for sale. Some purchases were made for our cooking class. We then hopped on the bus back to the base for our lantern making (45mins). Afterwards we hopped in the coconut boats for a 30 minute ride (jumping in the spinning boats is optional). The kids loved this part and the spinning. We then made our way back for our cooking class. Our guide Lily was so funny and friendly and the dishes we made were delicious. The tour finishes with eating your meal and our lanterns were packed for us to take home and were were also given a little gift of chopsticks each to take home. All in all a fun afternoon had by all (ages 13, 15, 16, 46 and 47).

Great experience! - We had such an enjoyable experience on this group tour. Communication was great and everything went on time as per the itinerary. All activities were fun and our guides Lily and Henry did a great job! Lantern making was so interesting and we got to take home the lanterns we made as they easily collapse to fit in our bags. All the food we made in the cooking class was delicious. If you are looking for something to do highly recommend for a relaxing and fun half day to spend in Hoi An.
