Hanoi Cultural experiences

I think the cooking class in Blue Butterfly is a very unforgettable memory for me in Hanoi! From the market to the kitchen, let tourists get close to the local people's diet and eating habits. Different regions make different food. When I learned to cook all the dishes, at that moment, I felt that I belonged to the locals.

An absolutely fantastic experience—I'd say it was perfect! From the morning market shopping session, to the pick-up and drop-off transport, to the cooking venue and the staff's attitudes—everything deserves full marks from me!! The dishes we made were incredibly delicious too haha, and I also made a lot of new friends;) It was my last day in Hanoi, and I'm so glad I chose Dine with Locals~

This was one of my favourite experiences in Hanoi. The local market tour was a great way to learn about Vietnamese ingredients before heading back to cook. The instructors were friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome, even if you had very little cooking experience. We made several delicious traditional dishes, and the recipes were explained clearly so I can recreate them at home. Everything was well organised, the kitchen was clean, and the atmosphere was fun and relaxed. I left with a full stomach, new cooking skills, and a much better understanding of Vietnamese cuisine. The food was absolutely delicious and has definitely made me want to eat Vietnamese food again when I get home. I would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Hanoi.

Jesse was a really great and patient instructor. We had a lot of fun learning how to brew Vietnamese coffee and Banh Mi from scratch. The place is also very clean and looks really nice. They also gave us some drinks to try while waiting. Very good experience!

This was such a great class. It didn’t even feel like “learning”, it felt like old friends catching up despite us meeting for the very first time. Lynn (our instructor) was very friendly and made sure everyone had something to do. She made the class fun and engaging. I enjoyed every moment.

Piey is so well versed in Vietnamese coffee culture. Great personality for such an inclusive deep dive into coffee and how it's made. I recommend her 1000%. The small class size makes the experience a bigger plus.

Had such a fun experience. The staff were very welcoming and explained the perfume-making process in a way that was easy to understand, even for beginners. They let us explore different scent notes without rushing, and it was exciting to create a fragrance that really matched my preferences. I also loved that I got to bring home a custom perfume that feels unique and personal. If you’re looking for a memorable activity in Hanoi that’s different from the usual sightseeing, I’d definitely recommend giving this a try!

A fun, high-energy (and high-caffeine) experience that is worth for any traveler or coffee enthusiast location: They provide instruction how to get to the exact location. instructor: detailed, fun, and easy to follow her instruction. experience: they provide more information about their culture and coffees

As a Chinese traveler, this photoshoot was such a wonderful experience. It’s totally different from taking photos in China, but the result is still really beautiful. The photographer and makeup artist were so patient, and I really enjoyed this unique experience. Thank you so much!
