This was great. We were picked up as agreed, and drove to the village where the cooking class took place (our host was not Tan, but another super nice guide, with great English). We were a family of 6, and each of us had our own tools, own wok and and cooking area. We started off with a super interesting tour of the various ingredients, tasting it all and learning about how it was used. Then we proceeded to cooking and with some nice helpers (also cleaning up) it ended up great. We did four dishes in total. Probably this was the family highlight of our trip in Vietnam, and definitely in everyone's top 3. After eating we went to see the tunnels - a very interesting insight into the war and how the Americans were out-smarted with low-tech means. Our kids ended up shooting some overpriced bullets (not part of the tour), and loved that part. Overall this was super nice, and a day excursion I would recommend to anyone (our youngest kids were 15, probably min age is 10-12).

Aura was an excellent tour guide, making sure that I was comfortable throughout the entire tour and waking up so early to meet me at my hotel. She thoroughly explained the background behind each ingredient of each dish we cooked and was indefatigable in her energy when cooking as well as guiding me through the Cu Chi tunnels. I 100% would recommend Aura and Tan's Cooking class to any future visitors - you will not regret it.

Absolutely great experience with delicious food and a fantastic guide. We learned so much about all the ingredients, ways of cooking and Vietnamese history. We can really recommend this tour, also very suitable for kids.

This is a great tour combination, we can definitely recommend. We enjoyed a whole day-trip together with Lani, who picked us up at the hotel, gave us many insights into the countries history, cuisine and culture and taught us a lot about local vegetables and herbs and how to turn them into delicious food. After the cooking class, where we also got to meet Chef Tan, we visited the Cu Chi tunnels together and learned even more about the area’s history. Lani is a wonderful, energetic, open-minded and knowledgeable person and we enjoyed the day together with her very much!
