We will attend a cooking class in the morning; the rest is individual time for you to explore the town. Be met at the hotel for a van transfer to Hoi An market. Visit this colorful and busy market, which offers an excellent opportunity to interact with the local sellers and learn about all the ingredients used in the cooking lesson later. Next, we board the Red Bridge boat for a leisurely cruise (25 minutes) along the Hoi An River to the Red Bridge Cooking School. The boat ride slowly moved toward the Red Bridge, so we got a chance to view local life on the river.

On arrival, we explore the cooking school's herb garden before learning about some of Hoi An's and Vietnam's well-known dishes. The cooking lesson runs for about 2 hours – the Red Bridge chefs first demonstrate each dish before we prepare the same dish ourselves. The class includes a brief introduction to Vietnamese food carving. After the lesson, we'll participate in cooking and savor all the dishes that have been cooked. Return to the hotel by vehicle, and take individual time to explore Hoi An or stay on the beach.
