Excellent half day trip to explore Hoi an countryside with a local private guide. We visited Ba Le market and really enjoyed it. Our excellent guide explained us the local daily life, their culture. We loved the farming works and the cooking class under the guidance of a local chef. It was such a great experience and 100% recommend this tour.

We joined the cooking class tour in the herbal garden name Tra Que. Our guide Quan is very informative , his English is absolutelly perfect and very easy to understand . We was tought by Quan about many types of veggies and how to use them in the real life (use chillies, garlic, ... for organic fertilizer ). We also had experiences
to make our own foods such as spring rolls & rice pancake as know as Banh Xeo. There were also plethora foods for lunch.
Highly recomment Quan & his tour when you visit Hoi An.
