“The city is beautiful, the tour was short , lunch that was included in the tour was very non impressive, no real taste of delicious Vietnamese food. Cycling was nice but somehow the tour guide should have explained about the places we were passing, maybe invest in the microphone. So we felt that this tour wasn’t as good as in other’s cities we visited.”

Review of Hue’s Madam Thu cooking class, with cyclo ride, Dong Ba Market tour, herbal foot bath, three local dishes, and practical tips.

“I was lucky to have our lovely guide/chef to myself on this wonderful market tour and cooking class. I absolutely loved visiting the market with a local, learning about fruits and other ingredients I would not have known if I had gone by myself. The cooking class was also the perfect level of "hands on", with clear explanations. The results were very tasty, and the restaurant staff were kind enough to prepare a take away box for me with the extra food.”
