Very nice
Cool to buy the ingredients and see the markets. A bit weird touristy with the boat trip. Good food!

Amazing day with Anna
5 What an amazing day. Anna was an amazing guide showing us through the local good markets and describing all the different herbs and vegetables. The coconut boats were great fun. Small charge to go on a boat and be spun around but very minimal £2. The cooking class was amazing whole family loved it and we will be trying the recipes when we get home. Anna send over all the recipes, recommendations for restaurants and took lots of pictures of us. Recommend very highly.

Excellent cooking class in Hanoi
The market tour was very I retesting with our guide Hon, he gave us insights in fruits, vegetables and spices that we couldn’t have known if we had gone on our own. The coconut boats were fun but what I enjoyed most was the crab fishing, and just for that it’s worth it. Hon was such a friendly and patient teacher during the cooking class, I highly recommend this activity.

Recommended cooking class in Da Nang
When I made a reservation, I received a Japanese message confirming my reservation. We didn't know where they were on the day, so we joined them safely through a message exchange, and the guide said he could understand kanji! The first step is to procure materials in the market. The guide will explain the ingredients, including vegetables, fruits, fish and meat. You can taste ingredients that you don't see in Japan, and a sense of localness that you can only go to with local people! I don't think it's a good idea to take large luggage with you because the street in the market is narrow. Walk about 15 minutes from the market to the fields. We saw and tried vegetables and fruits grown without pesticides, and took pictures with the tour participants (they sent us pictures after the tour), so be careful, as the fields were after the rain, so our shoes would get dirty. It is about 5 minutes by car from there. We arrived at the guide's house (cooking studio). The house is beautiful and very clean! The cooking was in English only, but you can see it and most importantly you are a good teacher so don't worry! I don't cook at all because it's easy cooking, minced vegetables, stir-fried ingredients, rolled up, etc. That's fine. The food, of course, was all excellent! Actually, it was the best of my trip to Vietnam! The guide's homemade fruit juice was also delicious! And what about a water purifier to drink? You can drink the water that comes out of the It wasn't just one plastic bottle. There was also a cute dog! But you can't go in while you're cooking, so I'll stay outside! On the way back, he showed me how to use Grab and paid for a taxi (I wonder if that's included in the tour price?). It just so happens. Anyway, the guides and chefs were kind and the food was delicious!! I recommend it.

Memorable experience in danang(다낭에서 잊지 못할 추억을 만들었습니다)
We take 4-hours class. We do shopping with guide at traditonal market after then we experience the farm garden such as vietnam vegies. Food taste is excellent and the all employees there are very kind. I recommend people who want to learn cooking vietnam food to attend this class. 4시간 수업을 들었는데, 전통시장에서 장을 본 뒤 농장에가서 베트남 야채 과일 등을 직접 체험해봤습니다. 그 뒤에 베트남 음식들을 만들고 직접 먹어봤는데 저희 가족 모두 너무 즐겁게 수업에 참여했습니다. 이 가게가 시작된지 얼마 안되서 깨끗하기도하고, 수업해주시는 강사분들이 인상도 좋으시고 너무 친절하셨습니다. 여쭤보니 가족들이 운영하는 가게라고 하시네요ㅎ 조금 아쉬운점 한가지를 꼽자면 요리 수업을 메인으로 진행해주시는 선생님이 영어가 약간 서투르시고 진행이 빠르다는 것이였는데요. 그래도 요리에는 영어보단 바디랭귀지랑 눈치 따라갈 수 있어서 큰 단점은 아니였습니다. 다낭에서 베트남 요리를 체험하고싶으면 쿠킹클래스 들어보시는걸 추천드립니다.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Market Tour & Cooking class in Ha Noi City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Market Tour & Cooking class in Ha Noi City 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 Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Market Tour & Cooking class in Ha Noi City take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Hanoi is not rushed.
Is Market Tour & Cooking class in Ha Noi City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Market Tour & Cooking class in Ha Noi City?
+
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 Market Tour & Cooking class in Ha Noi City suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Market Tour & Cooking class in Ha Noi City?
+
Around 4 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 Hanoi 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 Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Market Tour & Cooking class in Ha Noi City 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 Hanoi 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 Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave, Ha Giang Loop Tour 4 Days 3 Nights with Ha Giang Vision Tour, Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch. 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 Hanoi?
+
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 Hanoi?
+
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.
