Fabulous tour - Fabulous trip, probably my favourite of all the trips we have done so far in Vietnam. Quan was great. Only 4 of us on the trip today, Quan has max of 10. Lovely easy bike ride through the countryside, and a lovely location by the river for the cooking, very clean facilities and lovely food. Thoroughly recommend

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - A super authentic and thoroughly enjoyable tour! We were even lucky enough to have a private tour, which made the whole experience even more special. The bike ride through the fields was incredibly pleasant and relaxing – a wonderful way to experience the surroundings up close.
The boat ride afterward was another highlight and fit perfectly into the day. The absolute highlight, however, was the cooking class: We prepared several Vietnamese dishes ourselves and learned so much about the ingredients, preparation methods, and background of each dish.
The meal at the end was simply a dream – fresh, authentic, and prepared with so much love. Highly recommended for anyone who truly wants to experience Vietnam! 🌿🚲🍜

A Wonderful Day in the Hoi An Countryside - We had an amazing day exploring the beautiful countryside of Hoi An. We went on a lovely bike ride through the rice fields, visited a local vegetable farm, took a fun basket boat tour, and enjoyed a fantastic cooking class where we made four delicious dishes: spring rolls, papaya salad, banh xeo, and pho.
Our guide Quan and his family were absolutely fantastic — so kind, welcoming, and helpful. We loved every moment of this experience and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hoi An!

Must-experience activity - These activities filled me and my family with happiness. We cycled along beautiful scenery that we would not have found on our own. In addition, the cooking class and water adventure was an unexpected and delightful surprise for my family as I didn’t inform them of these activities.

Great experience - We had a great morning cycling around, watching the rice paper being made & enjoyed having a go at making the ourselves. The coconut boat ride was fun. The cooking class at the end was excellent & a great way to finish eating tasty food.

Excellent tour for boats and cooking - This is an excellent tour! We had 11 in our group, a mix of adults and children and we all loved it. We got to walk through the farm, cook some rice taco, go in basket boats and cook 4 delicious meals.

5 star plus - an absolute highlight - Quan brought our bicycles to our hotel and guided us into the beautiful countryside. We stopped at a vegetable village and had fun making rice pancakes. Then we were taken on a fabulous (and safe) bamboo basket water tour. Finally, Quan’s wife Lily taught us to make 4 delicious courses for our lunch and so kindly provided us with the recipes to take home. A taxi took us back to our hotel. A truly marvellous 4 hour tour which we couldn’t more highly recommend. An absolute highlight of our Vietnamese holiday.
