Lovely day! Thank you to Spencer for being such an awesome guide. I had a really good time at the market and in the cooking class. Every dish was sooo delicious, and the host prepared everything for us, including cleaning up and preparing the ingredients. Overall, I had a great time and will come back soon haha.

I had a truly wonderful time at my cooking class. It was a great experience. Our chef, Lucy, was very nice and she was very good at teaching us how to make Vietnamese food. It was really a nice experience. You must try it. The food was really good. I want to say I can make it on my own. I love it all. The place was very cozy and beautiful too. We learned a lot. I highly recommend it. Please try this cooking class.

It's a very nice ride in and around major places in district 1 of Saigon. Would recommend it. Also it doesn't have any guide who prefers no noise no explanation during the ride this is the one.

Daniel was very thoughtful and clear enough during the trip. i had a great time and a great group as well. I enjoyed the explanation from Daniel and he answered my curiosity in a good way. the places visited were also awesome, though tiring, but it was nice to see the suburb of vietnam. a bit late arriving in HCM due to the traffic jam

Absolutely wonderful! Our tour guide and photographer, Hannah, is a young and enthusiastic woman. Her English is excellent, and she's very professional (both in photography and general knowledge). The makeup artist responsible for the Ao Dai was also very patient and professional, helping us choose the perfect Ao Dai. The entire experience was very fun and informative. Highly recommend!!

♡ Pure relaxation ♡ I experienced the 90-minute Nourishing Shampoo. The therapist's technique is top-notch ✨✨ I thought it would focus mainly on the head, but my neck and shoulders were also massaged very thoroughly 🎵 It felt so good that I fell fast asleep in the second half (^^; After the treatment, you are served tea, yogurt, and cookies, and this yogurt was amazingly delicious 😋🍴💕 It's also conveniently located, just about a 12-minute walk from Saigon Centre ⭐ I highly recommend this spa ♥️♥️♥️

What an amazing experience!! Our dedicated chef was friendly, knowledgeable and very encouraging. Our tour through the Ben Tanh markets was a fantastic way to see how local markets and vendors function. The lessons were easy to follow and the food was absolutely delicious. A huge advantage was having the ingredients pre-prepared by the cooking staff on hand. Additionally, a lot of thought and effort was put into making sure allergy requirements were met. A wonderful experience from start to finish.
