Unforgettable Vietnamese Cooking Class in Hoi An! | Market Tour, Coconut Boats & Amazing Food 🇻🇳🍜

Experience the rich culinary heritage of Hoi An, Vietnam, with our immersive afternoon cooking class at Coconut Fragrance. For 700,000 VND (~$28 | £22 | €26 | AUD$42), delve into local markets, ride traditional basket boats, and master authentic Vietnamese dishes.

Highlights:

Market Tour: Explore Hoi An's vibrant markets, sampling street food and learning about indigenous produce, including seafood, fruits, and vegetables.

• Coconut Boat Ride: Navigate the waterways in traditional basket boats, known as thung chai, historically crafted to evade French colonial taxes. Experience the thrill as Paris gets a high-speed spin!
