Hoi An

English, Vietnamese (Native)

6 hours

Private tour (only you and David D.)

Up to 15 people

Unlike typical Hoi An cooking classes stuck in the tourist zone, this experience takes you out of the bustling Ancient Town into the soul of the fishing village — where the ocean, river, and rice fields meet.

You won’t just cook Vietnamese food; you’ll shop where locals shop, hear stories only elders know, and connect with people whose lives still follow the rhythm of the land and water.

This is the Vietnam you came to find — real, warm, unforgettable.
