High energy, friendly, very accomodating Teacher Giang gave us a wonderful and memorable experience and exposure to 6 types of wonderful and amazing vietnamese coffee and culture.

We had such an amazing time exploring old quarter with Alex! The sights were beautiful and lively and every dish we tried was truly delicious. It was nice that each dish was fairly small but we got to try so many. This is definitely a full meal so come hungry! Alex was an incredible guide too and we felt much safer trying the street foods with them. This tour will definitely be a highlight of our entire trip. Thank you for sharing your culture and food with us!!

Alex was the best host. They were so incredibly knowledgeable not just about the food and ingredients, but also about the history of food in Hanoi. We had what can only be described as a lovely meal with a knowledgeable friend.

Thank you to Giang she was so lovely

This was a fantastic workshop. Every staff member involved was helpful, professional and polite. Lyn, our host, eagerly shared her expert knowledge of the coffee culture in Vietnam then proceeded to guide us when we were making 6 types of coffee often imbibed in Vietnam. It was great fun, made even better by using professional, well looked after equipment. It was a gently paced workshop where I didn't feel hurried. We're going to be sent recipes to try and recreate them at home.
A highly recommended workshop.
Thank you team.
Caroline
This was a great overview of how Vietnamese works as well as some practice with the group. I had a very nice time with our host and we went to order coffee in Vietnamese afterwards!
Chelsea
It was very interesting to learn about the different types of coffee in Vietnam and to prepare and try them ourselves. They were all delicious - coffee cocktail at the end was soooo good I am still thinking about it! The host arranges a pickup and dropoff at your hotel/hostel which is super convenient.
Valeria
Ngoc was an amazing host and guide. What I got was far more than a tofu experience. I got a full morning of Vietnamese life in a village complete with ferry ride, visit to tofu production, food tasting, bicycle ride around the village and even a visit to her home. Ngoc is kind, knowledgeable and generous!!! I truly appreciated it all.
