I booked the Hoi An Urban Adventures Walking & Cooking Tour with my 14-year-old niece, and it was one of the best parts of our holiday! We were lucky enough to have a private tour, which meant that we could take our time and really soak up the experience. We started the morning walking around the Ancient Town with the lovely Luong, and we both learnt so much about the history of Hoi An, Chinese Temples, and Vietnamese culture. Luong managed to strike the perfect balance between fun & facts, and made the first part of the day very enjoyable! We then met up with beautiful Bong (Flora) for a tour around the bustling Hoi An market, a quick pit-stop for delicious cà phê sữa đá at Hoa Champa café, and then on to the family restaurant where we cooked up a storm! We made four delicious dishes, and received a recipe book to take home so that we can try to create the dishes again. My favourites were the fresh chicken spring rolls, and beef papaya salad - yum! The cooking class was at a perfect level for teenagers, but even younger children could take part (with a bit of supervision). I would highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Hoi An!

Great tour, knowledgeable guide who took us to some fascinating places. Good recommendations for the rest of our stay in Hoi An.

Just a great tour :-)

Flora was a great guide for the afternoon, it was really interesting to cycle through the countryside and the BBQ on the boat was not what I expected but was delicious.

Ms. Emma M., Hoi An, 21 Jun 2017

Tour guide was really friendly and very knowledgable I would highly recommend this tour. Everyone told me I was wasting my money as I could have bought all the food from the tour for cheaper than the price of the tour. However, if I hadn't done the tour I probably would have stopped at the first restaurant and not experienced the 6 we enjoyed and I would not have known what to order and how to eat the food that I did order.

Fantastic tour that gave me the opportunity to try local foods that I may not have had the courage to try before. I learnt so much about Hoi An food and now feel so much more confident to order in Vietnamese restaurants in Hoi An as I know what to expect. Our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. Overall 10 out of 10 experience.

Lu (Luong) & Truman what an amazing day we had! Firstly, thank you for rearranging the dates so that we could enjoy the cycle tour with our intrepid group. Secondly, not a negative comment that I can leave. You were both amazing, walking around and hearing about the locals living, history, sightseeing/visiting local markets & traditional lantern-making and using our vouchers. I felt that walking through the markets and then cooking made it feel very authentic, thank you! You are highly recommended by me :)

The tour was great - the guide was knowledgeable and entertaining, and the route was good. It was lovely floating down the river after the bike ride. The only negative feedback was that the bike seat was insanely uncomfortable especially due to the bumpy roads, and I was so sore afterwards that I almost couldn't ride back to the starting point after boat trip.

I was the only participant in on this trip but I was made to feel very welcome. Trang was great fun and didn't seem phased to take me on my "private" tour. I do think that possibly Urban Adventures could have warned me that I was the only one booked on the course and possibly offered me the chance to re-book. Trang was a great guide and knew all sorts about the area and the locals. And as weird as it was to enjoy a meal on the riverside with a stranger at sunset it was still great. The food was lovely and Trang was excellent company.

Ms. Kathryn H., Hoi An, 10 Apr 2017

I was the only participant on this tour/class however I was made to feel very welcome. Luong was extremely knowledgeable about the town and told me all sorts about the history and inhabitants, however it was still like walking with a friend. I went with Flora to complete the cooking class and again she made me so welcome - I felt like was hanging out with a buddy. As there was only me on the course we stopped for a chat and a coffee which made the experience all that more personal. She taught me some incredible recipes, I certainly ate well that day! I can't wait to try the recipes at home.
