Awesome guide & cooking class

Shortly after arriving in Hoi An, we spontaneously booked the cooking class for the afternoon because it was pouring rain. Longtran picked us up as agreed and we were surprised to find that only my brother and I had booked the tour. He took us to the market, showed us different types of fruit and vegetables we didn't know about and allowed us to try some. He then took us to his restaurant, gave us time for a drink, and ate some mango. After that, we did the Coconut Boat Tour with another really nice guy who showed us how to catch fish. For this, he took us to a more remote area away from the crowds. After returning to the restaurant we started cooking with his sister-in-law who gave us helpful advice. Everything we ate was super delicious and Longtran even invited us for a few beers. After dinner, he got us home on time and gave us an envelope with the recipes! He and the woman we cooked with were super friendly and patiently answered all of our questions! So far the best tour we have booked in Vietnam and we both highly recommend it!

Wonderful class, highly recommended!

I had a pleasure to cook with a lovely and caring chef, we prepared a special vegetarian meal as I asked and in the market they bought extra food that they prepared just for me. It was such a lovely experience!

Amazing experience with delicious food and boat ride

The boat ride was an amazing experience to have, giving us first hand experience of trying to catch our own fish. The food was delicious and our host was amazing, this is definitely a must try experience.

A Must do!

Long and his family were amazing hosts. I booked the afternoon tour and managed to get a private tour as most people book the morning as the village market is more lively then and has fresher ingredients. I then went out on a bamboo boat that was a lot of fun. Crab fishing, dancing and fishing with a net (no fish 🤣). It lasted about 45mins. Then we go and cook our dinner. Everything was yummy and I had the best chef to show me how to make the different dishes. They even made me some oysters, shrimp and quail eggs for me 10000% recommend.

A great Cultural Experience in Hoi An

We did the afternoon class and had the pleasure of it being private for my partner and I. I guess usually the morning classes are packed. We went to the market to learn about some traditional ingredients. In the afternoons the markets are less busy but we were ok with that. Our tour guide got us passion fruit and some clams to try out different cooking techniques. Then we went to the restaurant and had tea and a special passion fruit juice our guide Longtran made us. After we took a fun bamboo boat ride on the water which was amazing. There was karaoke and bamboo boat tricks as well as some minor fishing and we even caught two baby crabs we later let back. Dinner was amazing. Please come with an empty stomach. We made Spring Rolls, Banh Xeo, Seafood noodles and Banana Flower Salad. Longtran also made different types of clams for us! Most memorable cooking class experience in our travels! Also the beer is super cheap and perfect with the meal.
