Cidade de Ho Chi Minh Workshops

one for the books! i love how hands on Noah (my instructor) is! all the staff is approachable too. they also have a good coffee :)

We had a lovely morning perfume-making session at NOTE. Although the workshop was a bit far from where we were staying, it was well worth the trip. Our facilitator, Cam, was very hands-on and guided us every step of the way. She made the basics easy to understand and was incredibly encouraging throughout the process. She also shared her expertise on which scents to blend to achieve our desired fragrance. After the session, we enjoyed exploring and smelling the full range of scents they have in-store. Plus, as workshop participants, we received a discount on our purchases! Overall, this is a perfect experience if you’re looking for a relaxing and intentional activity while you're in hcmc!

We had a great time on our tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong River with SST. Our guide, Milo (Minh), was fantastic and made the day fun while teaching us so much about Vietnam’s history. Minh was so knowledgeable and shared insights that really gave us a deeper understanding of the country. He was very attentive to all the guests and made sure no one got left behind. It was the perfect balance of a great day out and a meaningful educational experience. Plus, the free food was delicious, and we really appreciated how they catered to everyone's specific dietary preferences. Highly recommend booking with them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is one of the highlights of our Ho Chi Minh trip. Perfect for those like us who are interested in the coffee culture and history in Vietnam. We learned a lot of things about coffee in Vietnam and we also got to try making coffee using Phin filter and V60. The class was really interesting and fun and our instructor, Ngoc, was so kind and accomodating. She is a good instructor as she explained all the things to us clearly. I can say that every little detail (from the presentation slides, to the videos, to the tasks) in this activity is well thought of and well made. There is even a nice little surprise at the end (I will not spoil it so you can see for yourself). Now that I am back home, I make coffee using the Phin filter and the ground coffee we bought from their shop. I’m so glad we booked this activity. Highly highly recommend this to everyone visiting Ho Chi Minh!

Nice cosy experience for me and my daughter. (we were the only ones there) There are a number of Alluvia stores within walking distance so check location/ address before going. The session includes 1 drink, making of 1 bar chocolate and chocolate shells filled with cream of your choice. It was over in less 45 min (chocolate need to chill before packing)

What an AMAZING experience! Hoà and the team do sush a great job explaining the Ao Doi and its history. I can not recommend enough, they’re committed to persevering traditions through these workshops and you will NOT find a better group of people

We came to this workshop with our family not knowing what to expect, and it ended up being one of the most delightful experiences of our trip. We painted and decorated our own Lionhead papier-mâché masks while learning about the history of the Lionhead tradition and how it came to Vietnam. The artists shared so much knowledge and context, which made the experience feel meaningful, not just creative. What really stood out was their generosity and heart. They were patient, encouraging, and clearly passionate about sharing their craft. They made everyone feel welcome and capable, whether you were artistic or just there to have fun. And you leave with the cutest memorabilia — your own handmade Lionhead to take home. If you’re anywhere nearby, don’t miss this beautiful, creative experience.

Fue una experiencia muy informativa y agradable, ¡un cóctel con café! ¡Y todos son muy amables! ¡Altamente recomendado!
