A very worthwhile trip! The tour guide was very kind. We had lunch on the boat. Although it rained that day, we couldn’t resist the beautiful scenery~

Lunch was a standard buffet, as you'd expect on a tour, but everything else was satisfactory. It was nice to cycle, and it was fun to see the scenery that you couldn't see from the car (you could also choose a mamachari bicycle, and the saddle height could be adjusted as you like). As it was about 10 days after the typhoon, the hole was submerged by the rising water, so unfortunately we couldn't go through it by boat, but we still managed to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The cleaning staff went around carefully in a small boat, and there was not a single piece of trash floating on the water. Thank you to Nagatomo, our tour guide.

I was afraid of my phone being stolen, so I didn't take many photos of my partner and I, so I was happy to be able to take them on the tour. Our guide, Thomas, was good at using cameras and iPhones, and took lots of photos for us. His English was easy to understand and he didn't have an accent, so we had a great time! I've always wanted to go to Senko Village, and I didn't know the rules of Train Street, so I'm glad I booked the tour!

Unfortunately it was raining, but the guide was a good speaker and kept the pace up, and the lunch on the boat was very filling and delicious. The rain let up by the time we went kayaking, so we were able to get on safely. The view from the boat was really amazing!

I recently attended the Rose Kitchen cooking class with a local market tour in Hanoi, and it was an incredible experience! Hazel, our instructor, was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, ensuring that everyone felt included and had the chance to participate.
The market tour was a fantastic introduction to local ingredients, and Hazel shared valuable insights about traditional Vietnamese cooking. Back in the kitchen, we prepared a variety of dishes, and Hazel's guidance made everything accessible, regardless of skill level.
I appreciated the hands-on approach, as we all got to try our hand at cooking. The food we made was delicious as well.
I highly recommend the Rose Kitchen cooking class for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Vietnamese cuisine and culture!

This time I went to Hanoi with my good friends from university. We mainly wanted to relax and not visit any must-visit attractions. I had enough time to sign up for this cooking class and met Linh, a very dedicated teacher. From the time we went to the market to buy food to the cooking class, the whole process was clearly explained to us and we learned more about Vietnamese food and local culture. The whole process was very happy and fulfilling, and the food was delicious! I recommend Linh if you have time when traveling to Hanoi. Learn to cook and experience it
