Lantern making fun! - My husband and I made lanterns. It was a great experience… much more complicated than I thought but the couple worked with us and helped us make beautiful lamps! They were lovely, the experience was the best part of our Vietnam trip! If you have the chance to do this class, do it!

Special Hoi An experience - must try! - We did the lantern making experience with our two kids (9ya) and LOVED it!! It was such a u unique thing to do in Hoi An. Mrs. Dung could not have been nicer and more accommodating. She guided us through the lantern making experience and we had a lot of fun making beautiful lanterns. The lanterns fold after you make them so easy to travel with and they give you snacks and a little souvenir at the end. Wonderful experience and highly recommended for all ages!!!

Interesting time with our own lantern at the end! - A Little confusing at first as three groups in attendance in different languages the main lady welcoming but other staff struggled with English and one was positively aggressive with us maybe a bad day but it put us on edge so difficult to relax and enjoy the experience. Would do it again now we know the process

Missed opportunity - I did not get to do the class as I couldn’t find the place.I was very sad as I wanted to make a lantern.Maybe on your website put the address not just on the voucher as I couldn’t access the voucher at that time.This was not the fault of the provider.

To start the selected language there was no option - To begin with the selected language (Spanish) was gone, the page itself should no longer offer it or write to you warning you that it has to be another day at another time or whatever. The class was in English, we barely heard, with the help of the translator, the two of us alone, the girl also answered the store, received calls, painted lanterns... She didn't listen to us much. BAD
