Great experience learning more about how to cook local dishes in HaNoi - I have had the pleasure of enjoying delicious local dishes at various eateries with locals, but this was my very first time I got to learn and cook them myself. I had to say "wow" when I went on a tour of the local market to buy the freshest ingredients and then headed to a class held at an old villa. We cooked under the guidance of a chef who was amazing and knowledgeable about each dish. As we cooked, he told us stories related to the ingredients. The atmosphere in the class was incredibly friendly and warm. We ended the class with a unique Hanoi coffee – egg coffee made by the chef himsel. I will definitely recommend this to my friends so they can join when they visit Vietnam.

An absolutely delightful experience with lots of wines - It was an absolutely delightful experience! The menu featured Bun Cha, fried spring rolls, banana flower salad with beef, and a selection of different wines. Each dish we prepared was bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, guiding us through each step with clear instructions and helpful tips. Making Bun Cha was a highlight, and learning the traditional techniques really brought the dish to life. The fried spring rolls were crispy and delicious, and the banana flower salad with beef was a unique and refreshing dish that I can't wait to recreate at home. The wine pairings were a lovely touch, enhancing the flavors of each course and making the experience even more enjoyable. The class was well-organized, fun, and engaging, perfect for both beginners and more experienced cooks. Overall, I highly recommend this cooking class to anyone interested in exploring Vietnamese cuisine.

Mekong River traditional lunch and cultural tour - Our trip in the Mekong River started early with a nice private van pickup and we made a stop at a cool restaurant along the way offering traditional items. The short trip across the river was exciting and safe. Then at the village we were shown traditional candy making and we also observed the local Vietnamese village. we were treated with a refreshing snack of fruits with local musicians providing background music. The lunch was great, it was sumptuous even for a family of 6. The guide Jun was very knowledgeable and made the tour pleasant. Katie Nguyen of UpTravel provided seamless communication and was very patient and accommodating, which allowed for last minute adjustments to our private tour. Even for requesting additional Saigon Dinner Cruise activity. She made our trip hassle free and enjoyable.

Wonderful experience - Wonderful session. Very friendly and helpful chef and beautiful venue. Fresh ingredients used, the local market tour was also helpful to understand the cuisine
