Best cooking class I have ever done
A fabulous day. We saw the community garden farms and tasted many herbs etc, then on to the market to buy some of the ingredients that we needed for our cooking class. Stopping next for coffee (really lovely cafe sau da) and then in to the house for the best cooking class. Four fantastic recipes, great teacher, fun and the food was the best we have had so far in Vietnam. Highly recommend

We then went to the market where we picked up the fresh ingredients for our class and after a cafe stop for traditional iced Vietnamese coffee, we headed to Jolies home for the class We made four dishes all fresh an delicious. the class was lots of fun and the hosts Rosie was a great teacher and very enthusiastic.

Book and relish on the memories forever
What a day of fun we had with Hannah at the Jolie farming, market, lateen making, coffee cooking day for fun!!! We started the day with an incredible experience with Ut at her house in Hoi An where she showed us what her daily routine is from morning to evening… she was so sweet and just blew us away that at the young age of 81 she is so incredibly active.. her garden was to perfection and meticulous… Then off to the markets to buy some goods to help prepare our four courses… this was so interesting and Hannah was able to explain the different foods.. At this stage it was a delightful coffee then off to get our hands working and cooking up a storm with the ladies and creating some of the most delicious meals I’ve had… they are so simple we will be sure to make them again at home over and over… After this, bellies full and happy as a bumble bee we buzzed off to make our very own lanterns… this was a test of patience, precision and grace when they made it look better then we did hahahaha Memories on overload and grateful for the day we spent learning and creating.. This is a must do if you want to experience some culturally fun experiences…

Best day in Vietnam!
We absolutely loved this tour. We started off in Hoi An seeing the traditional ways that farmers work today, we met a lovely lady who we were introduced to as “Grandmother” she was so happy to show us what she does and had fun laughing with and at us! We then headed to the market to pick up some produce, Rosie showed us how we can tell the best kind of food to pick up, what to look for and the custom for exchanging money fanned out and with both hands to show respect. We then went a grabbed some coffee/juice in a local coffee house and chatted for a while before making our way to Jolie House. We had a lot of fun learning the different dishes we’d be making, trying them all out and having fun with them. They were so good with our son who is 11 and he had lots of fun too. The whole family were happy and lively, they welcomed us in like we were old friends. The food was fantastic and they catered for allergies and food preferences. We had 6 people in our group in total and we all had fun getting to know each other. We then headed out to the lantern making, where we chose our material and decorated a traditional Vietnamese shaped lantern. (Perfect for travellers as it collapses down) Rosie our guide was amazing and made us all feel very comfortable and happy. This was our favourite day in Vietnam so far. I can’t thank Rosie and her family enough! Ps Mimi and Hannah you were so sweet and kind too, thank you for having fun singing with us!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Farming- Market- Lantern making- Coffee- Cooking (JHA4): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Farming- Market- Lantern making- Coffee- Cooking (JHA4) cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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- Market- Lantern making- Coffee- Cooking (JHA4) take?
+
Plan for about 6 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- Market- Lantern making- Coffee- Cooking (JHA4) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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- Market- Lantern making- Coffee- Cooking (JHA4)?
+
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- Market- Lantern making- Coffee- Cooking (JHA4) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Farming- Market- Lantern making- Coffee- Cooking (JHA4)?
+
Around 1 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Farming- Market- Lantern making- Coffee- Cooking (JHA4) 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.
