Spend four hours in Hoi An’s countryside with guides such as Nhu, Hung, or Bé. Visit the market, cruise the Thu Bon River, ride a basket boat and buffalo cart, enjoy a herbal foot soak, then cook four Vietnamese dishes at Sabirama. Hotel pickup, vegetarian meals, and morning or afternoon times are available.

“A jam packed experience with truly delicious food. Our 3 children 6,8,10 were able to join in as they had lovely helpers and when they tired of it they played happily nearby. There is a little bit of upselling at a few stages, but nothing major. The basket boats and river boat ride were the kids' highlights, ours was the food. If you are a small eater in hot weather...don't eat breakfast so you can fit it all in. Catered very well for the vegetarian in our group of 8. I'll definitely be making the salad when I get home when I can find a green mango!.”
