“Hi, Really unhappy with an experience I had today. It was over £50 for a cooking class in Vietnam. We were promised a cocktail on arrival, which was never given. The "market tour" wasn't actually a tour, but the seller taking us to market shops owned by their friends who pressured you into purchasing items waaaaay above market value. The first 20 mins of the cooking class was one person making a sauce for all the people, so we sat there bored. The girl next to me actually started watching YouTube. The whole thing felt very disorganised, no one was really checking what you were doing so felt like you…”

Dyan gave us a lot of history for the 1st hour of the ride then most people napped. We stopped at a handicraft area where they make lacquer items and explain the process. prices were high but the $ goes towards disabled people who make the items and government programs to help them. food and drinks are available and a bathroom. We then stopped at the shooting range where most of the van participated. We were there maybe 20-30 minutes then onto the tunnels.…”
