Great experience

Cook like a local
I had an amazing time joining the cooking class led by Alice! It was a wonderful way to end my Vietnam trip by learning how to cook some of the popular dishes like pho, bun cha and egg coffee. Everything was arranged and organized and the staff were all pleasant, especially Alice. I would highly recommend Rose Kitchen to any future travelers that may want to experience cooking some local cuisine. Our group consist of only 7 tourists which is a good size for a cooking class. I left the kitchen feeling so full with a very hearty and fresh meal! Thank you very much!

A must while you’re in Hanoi
We thoroughly enjoyed this cooking class and Alice, our guide was excellent in all ways. We cooked and ate beautiful food and strongly recommend this experience if you’re visiting Hanoi.

Warm and welcoming
We had a great time at the market, cooking together and rating together. Alice made us feel welcome and at home, and explained a lot about the culture and how the food fits in. Afterwards we went to see the flag lowering ceremony, where Alice turned out to not only be a great cook, but also a great tourist guide. It felt like being on a trip with a good friend.

Rose Kitchen Hanoi: Market, Cooking & Culture Tour + PickUp: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Rose Kitchen Hanoi: Market, Cooking & Culture Tour + PickUp cost?
+
Prices start at $36 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 Rose Kitchen Hanoi: Market, Cooking & Culture Tour + PickUp take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Hanoi is not rushed.
Is Rose Kitchen Hanoi: Market, Cooking & Culture Tour + PickUp worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 366 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rose Kitchen Hanoi: Market, Cooking & Culture Tour + PickUp?
+
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 Rose Kitchen Hanoi: Market, Cooking & Culture Tour + PickUp suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rose Kitchen Hanoi: Market, Cooking & Culture Tour + PickUp?
+
Around 128 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rose Kitchen Hanoi: Market, Cooking & Culture Tour + PickUp 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 Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. 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.
