A wonderful family experience!
This was an amazing experience, that myself, my wife and son (13) all loved. Thom was a fantastic guide throughout the day - it started with a fascinating tour of Hoi An's market where we learnt about the huge range of vibrant fruit, vegetables and meat on offer. We then went to Grandma's islet where we cooked and ate some delicious Vietnamese dishes, all with Thom and her team's support and guidance. This was on of our favourite experience in Vietnamese and we highly recommend!

Highlight of my trip, 10/10 reccomend
This was an absolute highlight of my Vietnam trip and I couldn’t recommend it enough! it was awesome to go around the market and learn about the different foods with Thom, and then bringing everything we bought to the island to cook it all. 10/10

Great cookery class
We chose this experience because it received good reviews and was recommended in the Rough Guide to Vietnam. We thoroughly enjoyed the cooking class and market tour, the tour guide Thom and chef was excellent, she explained the various different types of food in the market and the methods of cooking well. We enjoyed preparing, cooking and eating the various dishes.

Amazing cooking class in Hoi An!
I had such a wonderful time spending the day learning to prepare delicious Vietnam dishes. It started with a boat ride to a local market to get all the ingredients needed for the adventure. Thom, our guide/ instructor was fantastic and made the adventure even more special. I highly recommend taking this class if you are looking to learn while having a great time!

Highlight of our fantastic 2 week trip to Vietnam!
This is one of the best experiences/ courses I've ever done. As someone who never does reviews, I had to get around to writing this one. Our guides Thom & Hoan expertly and patiently guided my family group of 5, aged 13 - 77 through a market tour with tastings, boat cruise & cooking course. The cooking course at Thom's family farm was an unforgettable delight, with lovely fresh ingredients to use in a fabulous outdoor kitchen. We made so much food we couldn't finish all the delicious things we cooked! We've enjoyed cooking the recipes at home, using the recipe book we got after the tour. A must do!

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Vietnamese Cuisine Cooking Experience with Hoi An Market Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Full-Day Vietnamese Cuisine Cooking Experience with Hoi An Market Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 Full-Day Vietnamese Cuisine Cooking Experience with Hoi An Market Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Full-Day Vietnamese Cuisine Cooking Experience with Hoi An Market Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 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 Full-Day Vietnamese Cuisine Cooking Experience with Hoi An Market 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 Full-Day Vietnamese Cuisine Cooking Experience with Hoi An Market Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Vietnamese Cuisine Cooking Experience with Hoi An Market Tour?
+
Around 6 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Vietnamese Cuisine Cooking Experience with Hoi An Market 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.
