Great - The experience was very pleasant! The chef and host were very welcoming and friendly. We were in a small group in their family home, which makes it nice to be apart from the busy crowd. Very clean house with a nice country side garden area.

Many facets to this tour - Great tour. We all enjoyed the lantern making despite my brother’s scepticism. The lady was very patient and we all enjoyed our reward of a lantern to take home. We then were taken to a cottage and went on the banana boat and crab fishing part of the tour. This was also excellent and many many boats on the water. We then went back to the cottage for a fantastic lunch. As I am fussy with food they catered to my dietary whims.
All in all a great day out and I would recommend to anyone as a must do in Hoi An

Fun Activities: Lantern making, delectable food, and basket boat ride - Highly recommend this fun experience! Our punctual driver seamlessly transported us (family of 3) from our hotel in Hoi An to the lantern-making session, then to Coconut village, the enchanting Chef Tram's place. Amidst an idyllic garden backdrop with lanterns adorning the surroundings, we relished delectable Thai cuisine tailored to our dietary preferences. Chef Tram thoughtfully accommodated one vegetarian and one peanut-sensitive diner. Following this culinary delight, a picturesque pathway led us to a dock where basket boats awaited. The serene sunset cruise in the basket boat, coupled with a delightful crab-fishing endeavor, made this adventure truly memorable.

10/10 for this tour - This was one of my favorite tours
Picked up on time...taken to a latern making course which was great
Very pleased with my latern and it folds for the suitcase
Then to my guides home...basket boat riding...thrilling and so much fun ( I'm in my late 60s)
Music playing people clapping everyone smiling
Then my guide cooked me a wonderful lunch with ingredients that she had purchased fresh from the market that morning
She explained all the ingredients and cooked right in front of me demonstrating great technique
Book this tour you won't be disappointed

Great family fun - Slightly away from the main tourist area we felt we had a more authentic experience. Started off making Lanterns which the whole family enjoyed followed by a boat ride and crab fishing which is touristy but the kids enjoyed. Lastly we were treated to amazing and very generous home made Vietnamese lunch. Tram was a wonderful host and the whole day ran smoothly from pick up to drop off.

Join it, it was fun. - Thank you for Long came to my hostel to pick me up. All of the activities were really fun, riding a basket boat, catching the crab and having a perfect dinner in Long’s home. The trip was about 4 hours long, it perfect for me. We talked a lot. I had a lot of fun and good experience in this trip.
