Sabirama Cooking Class - Amazing half day tour going to the markets to select produce for cooking class. Went by boat up river and then by basket boat to restaurant for class. After foot massage we went and learnt how to prepare and cook food and then sat down to eat what we had made. Excellent staff were very patient with us. Had a few beers to help . Great day, highly recommend this event.

Great fun and beautiful food - The trip started with a walk through the market explaining the different local foods and their use in the local cuisine. Next it was a boat ride around the local waterways before swapping to a basket boat for a different exploration through the shallow waters. This was followed with an excellent foot, neck & shoulder massage. The final chapter was a four course cooking adventure. The wonderful explanation of the methods, ingredients and applications was excellent and easy to understand. The freshness and quality of the ingredients was excellent. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. We enjoyed every bite of the cuisine we cooked. Highly recommended this tour - great experience and excellent value for money.

Great tour - Our family’s favorite - We had an absolutely fabulous tour from start to finish. The afternoon was very well organized and flowed perfectly between the various activities. We loved the cooking class — the recipes were delicious, easy to follow, and we can’t wait to make them again at home. The mini cruise was beautiful and relaxing, and the bamboo boat ride was so hilarious. The massage was a super nice addition to this very fascinating and memorable experiences. Every member of the team was kind, professional, and attentive. Hung made us feel special and truly taken care of the whole time. Highly recommended!

The Highlight of Our Trip! - This was hands down the best experience we had in Hoi An! From the moment we were picked up, everything was so well organized. We visited the local market, cruised along the Thu Bon River, rode basket boats through the coconut forest, and even tried a buffalo cart ride — such a fun surprise! The cooking class itself was fantastic. We made delicious dishes step by step, and the chef made it easy for everyone to follow. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hoi An!

A Peaceful Escape in Hoi An - The eco-tour part of Sabirama was such a peaceful escape. Drifting through the coconut forest on a basket boat was calm, quiet, and beautiful—a perfect contrast to the lively streets of Hoi An. Afterward, jumping into the cooking class brought so much energy and excitement. The balance of relaxation and activity made this tour one of the most well-rounded experiences we had in Vietnam.

Memorable Moments in Hoi An - What made Sabirama Cooking Tour special was how all the little pieces came together—the laughter during the basket boat ride, the peaceful scenery of the coconut forest, and the joy of cooking authentic dishes. It felt like we were not just tourists, but guests welcomed into a family. We left with recipes to recreate at home, but also with memories that will stay with us for years.

Best Team and Best Tour - The real magic of this tour came from the team. They were warm, welcoming, and had such a great sense of humor. From the eco-tour through the river to the cooking class, they made every step feel enjoyable. They also shared local stories and traditions that added so much depth to the experience. You could tell they really loved what they were doing, and that made us love it even more.

Seriously good experience on many levels. - Sabirama and the team again provided us with a wonderful experience. The cooking class presented our students with an engaged, fun and enjoyable time where skills were developed, and further cultural understanding was developed. Third time in two years and the sessions just keep getting better. Recommend this to everyone.
