Great class which was above my expectations
I think this a really high quality cookingclass which I really liked! Reasons: - pick up at hotel - really nice people - small groups of 10 persons max - visit to market to get supplies - boatride and ride in the small basketboats - good explanation with good Englishspeaking guide - cooked 5 or 6 different meals - received several gifts. One of them was a cookingbook with the recepies of what we made. - perfect service!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review

No Show
Didn’t turn up for scheduled 8:30am pick-up and didn’t answer phone. Finally answered at 9:05am and said ‘we didn’t check our e-mails yesterday’ - tour was booked at 10am the day before. Said they would come in 10 minutes. Got a phone call at 9:45 asking whether we’d like to go tomorrow instead.
Response from the operator: Dear Lee Walker I am really sorry for this. The email came too late, so I did not serve you this interesting tour. Any guest joined this tour, they enjoyed and really happy . Hope serve you next time. I am really sorry again. I did refund for you Regards

Great tour and cooking class
We went on this tour as part of our honeymoon, and we could not have been happier with it. Long picked us up at our hotel in the morning then took us to a local market where we were able to peruse the local meats, fruits, and vegetables being sold as well as pick up some food we would use for the cooking class. After that, we traveled to Long's family restaurant that was on the river where we paddled around in basket boats, one of which was piloted by his brother. Then, we took part in the cooking class, which was led by Long and his sister-in-law. Finally, we got to eat all the delicious food we made with them. This was an amazing tour, made more enjoyable because it was run by a very kind and accommodating family. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.
Response from the operator: Dear Guests! Thank you very much for your coming and enjoyed the time from our company. I am very happy to hear your comment. We are still improve more and more our service I wish you have a great time in Hoi An and enjoy a lot of things in your holidays. Take care ! Manager KIM

Eco tour with basket boat and Cooking Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Eco tour with basket boat and Cooking Class cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hoi An usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Eco tour with basket boat and Cooking Class take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hoi An is not rushed.
Is Eco tour with basket boat and Cooking Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hoi An, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Eco tour with basket boat and Cooking Class?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Eco tour with basket boat and Cooking Class suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Eco tour with basket boat and Cooking Class?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hoi An can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hoi An and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Eco tour with basket boat and Cooking Class start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hoi An within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hoi An?
+
On Outty we rank every Hoi An experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hoi An Ancient Town Walking Tour with a Local, Cooking Class Hoi An:Local Market, Basket Boat, Fishing & Cooking, Hoi An Cooking Class(Local Market, Basket Boat,Fishing &Cooking). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hoi An?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hoi An?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
