A fun experience
A great activity. Minh hosted my Mum and I and was absolutely delightful. We enjoyed walking round the market and making the food which was delicious! Thoroughly recommend this activity, one of the best on offer.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Joanna! 🌿 It was a pleasure for Min to host you and your mum. We’re so happy you enjoyed exploring the local market and cooking together. Sharing Vietnamese food and culture with our guests is what makes our Hoi An farming and cooking class so special. Your kind words mean a lot to our small family team. Thank you for recommending us as one of the best cooking classes in Hoi An. We hope to welcome you back to Lemon Basil again someday! 🍋💚

Cooking Class
This cooking class is a must do on your trip to Hoi An! Before starting our class, we had a tour of the lovely garden and got to participate in planting some spinach. Min, our chef, was absolutely adorable. She quickly made us feel right at home with her beautiful smile and warm personality. We cooked four different dishes which were all super tasty. We left very full and with great memories! This has been a highlight on our trip to Vietnam.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! 🌿✨ We’re delighted to hear the garden tour, farming experience, and cooking together made your time with us so memorable. Min will be so happy to know her smile and hospitality made you feel at home. We’re glad the dishes filled not just your stomachs but also your trip with wonderful memories. 💛 We hope to welcome you back to Hội An again one day! — The Lemon Basil Team 🍋🥢

Awesome authentic cooking class with great host
First, our guide Min took us to the local market where we bought all the ingredients for the cooking class. She explained us all the different vegetables fruits and herbs. After our arrival at the cookery her uncle und Min explained us all the steps for farming, where we could also take pictures and videos. A warm foot bath and massage followed. The menu chosen was great. Because we had asked about a local eggplant dish at the market, Min switched part of the fish dish to a delicious vegetarian eggplant dish. Papaya salad was my favourite, but also spring roles, and banh xeo were awesome. Personally I enjoyed the quizzes about the ingredients most, as we learned a lot about how the are used in different meals. Great guide with a lot of humour and knowledge.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your detailed experience! We're delighted to hear that Min made your day special from the market visit to the cooking class. It’s great that you enjoyed learning about the different ingredients and how they’re used in Vietnamese cuisine. We’re glad the switch to the eggplant dish worked out so well for you! The quizzes sound like a fun and educational touch. Your kind words about Min’s humor and knowledge are much appreciated. We hope to see you again for another culinary adventure!

Fantastic and enjoyable morning
Had a fantastic morning with Min going to the market and helping in the garden. What an interesting, brilliant and funny experience. The food we cooked was yummy and can’t wait to try at home. I would definitely recommend this as a must in Hoi An
Response from the operator: Thank you for the fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the market visit, garden activities, and cooking with Min. It’s wonderful that you found the experience both interesting and fun, and that you’re excited to try the recipes at home. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon for another memorable experience in Hoi An!

A culinary adventure in a local home
I went as part of an Intrepid tour group and had a wonderful afternoon with Min and her helpers. Min first took us to a local market to buy fresh produce for our meal, then showed us around the farm next door to the restaurant where more of the fresh produce comes from. We had a fun foot and leg massage before cooking four simple and delicious dishes (spring rolls, salad, fish and pancakes) which we then consumed. All round, a wonderful experience with a sweet and charismatic host. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Mei! We're delighted to hear that you had a wonderful culinary adventure with us during your Intrepid tour. It's fantastic that you enjoyed visiting the local market and exploring our farm to see where the fresh ingredients come from. We're thrilled that you found the foot and leg massage relaxing before diving into cooking four delicious dishes together. Min and our team are thrilled to have been a part of your journey, and we appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience at Lemon Basil Cooking Class!

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Farming & Cooking Class in Hoi An - Small Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Farming & Cooking Class in Hoi An - Small Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Farming & Cooking Class in Hoi An - Small Group Tour 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 Farming & Cooking Class in Hoi An - Small Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 73 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 Farming & Cooking Class in Hoi An - Small Group Tour?
+
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 Farming & Cooking Class in Hoi An - Small Group Tour 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 Farming & Cooking Class in Hoi An - Small Group Tour?
+
Around 26 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 Farming & Cooking Class in Hoi An - Small Group Tour 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 Hidden Gems in Rural Villages & River Islands PRIVATE TOUR, Coconut Jungle Eco & Hoi An City Tour With Boat Ride, Cooking Class Hoi An: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.
