“Lily is a great chef, we had lots of fun and the food turned out delicious. We could spend extra time in Hoi An for a small extra charge, which was great. Boat ride was short, but fun. However, we did not have a great experience with the first driver, he seemed to either be drunk or have a condition and we did not feel safe on the ride.”

“This was not a vegetarian cooking course. They just switched meat for tofu bit it wasn’t especially for vegetarian. We didnt learn anything h about the meal. It was just cutting onions, garlic and ginger and then put everything in a pan. Doing the pancake we, our chef didn’t tell us what’s in. At some point we ate and the chef was cooking for us.

The trip with the boat was okay but really…”
