    Brilliant experience

    We had a brilliant time at this cooking class from the moment we where picked up,to getting the ingredients in the local market, to the boat ride before arriving at the place where we did our class. The lady taking the class was excellent, very funny and a lovely person. The cooking class is a must for anyone wanting to experience it. Thanks for a fun morning and very good food 👍

    YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED 💕

    What a fantastic tour. Nhi collected us from our hotel and from that moment I knew we were going to have a great time; Nhi's energy and smile were infectious 😍. After collecting the other guests we went to the market where the locals do their shopping at least once a day. As westerners, it was something that we never see and it was fabulous 👌. Nhi explained all the different herbs, spices, fruits, meats, noodles and rice products and then it was off to our boat we went to head to our cooking class. On the way, Nhi explained what some people were doing by the riverside or on the water itself. The boat ride in itself was fantastic 😁 but when we arrived at our destination I was in awe, the class was in the most beautiful setting by the river and it was so peaceful. Firstly we prepared a huge pot of beef pho then it was on to cooking our food. Nhi demonstrated what we had to do with tremendous enthusiasm and humour then it was our turn 😁. We made fresh spring rolls with peanut dipping sauce, a crispy pancake with pork, herbs and beansprouts with a beautiful fish sauce, beef stir fry with an oyster sauce (yummy) and mixed salad. It was then time to remove the bones from the pho and dig into that beautiful broth and vegetables with noodles and fresh herbs and it was delicious 😋 👌. We finished off with tea and fruit and we were full to bursting. We were also given a surprise gift to take home along with the recipes of the foods we had cooked ☺️. We enjoyed a good chat with Nhi who was a genuinely nice and honest person, before heading back to our hotel. There are so many cooking classes available in Hoi An but I'm so pleased we picked this one, it was FABULOUS! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Market boat ride & cooking

    First time cooking class, I had a lot of fun. Our host Tin Tin made it look easy, she was helpful all the way through and was very professional with an awesome sense of humour. Shopping at the market was interesting to see and learn about all the different types of fresh ingredients and local food. I enjoyed the two boat rides it was relaxing before starting the class, it was cool to leave on the boat straight from the market.

    Enjoyable day although a bit...

    <p>Enjoyable day although a bit disorganised at the start - late pickup and some confusion over taxis. Very pleasant place where the cooking was done, good variety of tasty dishes to cook.</p>

    Half-Day Thuan Tinh Cooking Class with Row Boat Ride: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.

    How much does Half-Day Thuan Tinh Cooking Class with Row Boat Ride cost?

    +

    Prices start at $51 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 Half-Day Thuan Tinh Cooking Class with Row Boat Ride 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 Half-Day Thuan Tinh Cooking Class with Row Boat Ride worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 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 Half-Day Thuan Tinh Cooking Class with Row Boat Ride?

    +

    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 Half-Day Thuan Tinh Cooking Class with Row Boat Ride 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 Half-Day Thuan Tinh Cooking Class with Row Boat Ride?

    +

    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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Half-Day Thuan Tinh Cooking Class with Row Boat Ride 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 Hai Van Pass Motorbike Private Tour with Mister T Easy Rider, Hoi An Ancient Town Walking Tour with a Local, 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.

    What is included in Half-Day Thuan Tinh Cooking Class with Row Boat Ride?

    +

    Included: Local guide; Lunch; Cooking Class; Visiting Market; and Boat Trip. Not included: Pick up at hotel besides Hoi An. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Half-Day Thuan Tinh Cooking Class with Row Boat Ride include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Hoi An.

    What languages is Half-Day Thuan Tinh Cooking Class with Row Boat Ride offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Half-Day Thuan Tinh Cooking Class with Row Boat Ride?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Half-Day Thuan Tinh Cooking Class with Row Boat Ride if the weather is bad?
