Hoi An Backroad Tours

Our Vespa trip with Hanni and Phuoc was amazing. We saw local countryside, the centre of Hoi An and markets and tried local coffee’s. The woodcarving was an unexpected addition and a lot of fun. Our guides/drivers were exceptional and made the trip for us. The cooking with V was informative and the food we created was delicious. We would highly recommend this trip. Thank you again Hanni, Phuoc and V.

I cannot say enough good things about this class. The host was knowledgeable, accommodating, and went out of their way to adapt recipes to my food allergies without compromising on taste. We were given clear instructions and hands-on practice, and by the end I felt truly confident cooking Vietnamese dishes. The ingredients were fresh, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the whole experience felt very genuine. It’s an absolute must-do when you’re in Hoi An.

We had a fantastic trip around Hoi An with Phi Phi and Phuoc. First we drove to the market and looked at local produce and Phi Phi told us about all the different local fruits, vegetables and other goodies you could buy there. Then we drove out into the rice fields, where they had found a very cozy cafe, where we tasted coconut coffee and peach-lemongrass tea. We also visited a local farmer who showed us his garden and we were allowed to smell and taste the vegetables in his garden. Afterwards we drove on to a cooking class, where we had to make Vietnamese specialties, here we made grilled fish in banana leaves, braised eggplant and mushrooms in a clay pot and last but not least Vietnamese rice pancakes with shrimp and pork. Really delicious! And the whole trip topped off with being on the back of a Vespa scooter the whole way around. Definitely recommended."

We had such a wonderful time! The class was perfectly organized, starting from a warm welcome to a hands-on cooking experience that was easy to follow. The chef explained each step with patience and enthusiasm, and we loved learning about the local ingredients and their cultural background. The meal we prepared together was absolutely delicious, and the courtyard setting made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Hoi An!
