This was one of the highlights from our trip to Hoi An. I would highly recommend, as it’s a great way to see where the locals purchase their fresh food daily. The coconut boat tour was really long and a great way to see the local area. The cooking class was definitely the standout, making some traditional dishes and then getting to devour them! We had two local chefs assisting us throughout the experience.
