    3 in 1 Waterwheel day.
    A very good day spent with Kun. Started with a bike ride to the markets then a ride in a basket boat before heading back to the farm to learn about traditional farming methods. We then went on to the cooking class where we learned to cook 3 dishes including making rice paper. We were also introduced to a buffalo on the way home but none of us were up to a ride. Worth the day I would recommend it to anyone.

    Great setting— great food—brilliant service
    We have visited the restaurant as part of our tour, so it was selected by the tour company. We are thankful that they did. The restaurant is located in the gear of a eco friendly herb village. The setting is nice, the food is prepared with care and a service was brilliant. I don’t think we met a nicer server than Tiên ( the fairy) and that is much to say for we had met with some fantastic servers throughout our trip in Vietnam.

    Well worth the visit.
    Four of us did the cooking class today and had a great time. Interesting to learn about the gardens and how the local people make their living. The class was not only fun, but informative. Everything was clean, the food was fresh and our Head Chef was amazing, Our Head Chef Kun, was fun to be with and explained everything clearly. I couldn’t recommend this class highly enough. Thank you to everyone there.

    Farming and cooking at TraQue waterwheel
    Had a very interesting tour and activities in Tra Que water wheel. Our guide Kun was very lively and witty and knowledgeable about the area and plants in the plantation. Definitely a great experience for the family to try tilling, planting and watering the plants and cooking a meal with the fresh vegetables.

    Exhilarating basket boat ride
    Basket boat experience was really fun for the family! Water Wheel arranged 2 way tpt for us from our hotel to the venue. The exhilarating ride took an hour. A bit hot but we were kept entertained with performances, crab fishing and opportunities to learn how to tow a circular boat. The lunch that followed was yummy and satisfying.

    Tra Que Water Wheel village tour
    What an experience, we travelled to Tra Que Village from our hotel cycling and navigating through the city traffic of Hoi An with kids in tow. I was a bit nervous at first since it’s been probably about 10yrs the last time I rode a bike especially with my 8yr old son on the back but I must say it was fun. We a family of 4 had plenty of laughs and really enjoyed the tour. Hopefully our bokchoy we helped planted in the vegetable garden will grow healthily in the next 6months. Our tour guide Kun was amazing. What a breath of fresh air she was. From the moment she picked us up from our hotel to the cooking class we had with her and Kun showing the kids how they made rice paper rolls she was patient and just lovely. Overall we really enjoyed our tour and would highly recommend it to family and friends

    A fun time at Tra Que Water Wheel
    Our family had so much fun at Tra Que. We cycled, rode a water buffalo, had a ride in a boat, did some farming, made some rice paper, did a cooking class and sang some songs! Everyone was so friendly and full of happiness. The whole experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Vietnam. Thank you! Keep spreading your joy and happiness! :-)

    Great way to spend the morning
    What a great morning. We were picked up at the hotel and our bikes had already been delivered. Then it was off to the market which was very busy. We cycled to the village and were shown what was being grown. Then we started cooking. We made four dishes in total. They accommodated my vegetarianism without any problems. Everything was well planned and they took great care of everyone. Lots of food to eat. All food was prepared for you so you could maximise cooking opportunities. Cannot recommend enough.

    Highly recommend the cooking class
    A fun and tasty experience. Kun was a great guide and teacher as she first showed us around the market to gather some ingredients then back at the restaurant to cook them. Kun also had great comedic timing and a lovely sinking voice. The recipes were tasty and enjoyable to cook. We highly recommend the experience, was one of our most memorable days of our trip!

Lovely staff made up of one big family. We came back every day on our stay in Hoi an and did the full tour with a group of 6 us. Treated us so nicely and we had such a lovely time with the staff during the experiences. Can’t recommend enough!

We did the half day cooking class with Suan.
It included a tour around the Hoi An market where our guide bought some local produce for us to try, a quick walking tour around one of the Tra Que farms as well as cooking and eating 4 local dishes. We made fresh spring rolls, papaya salad, a fish stew and Vietnamese pancakes. The food was absolutely delicious and Suan was very helpful and attentive. She kept us all entertained and taught us a lot about the Vietnamese culture. Any trip to Hoi An would be incomplete without doing this class! 100% recommended.

A great experience full of fun and food. Xuan picked us up at our hotel and we bicycled to the market where she explained about the market history and all the different food. A leisurely bicycle to the farm and walk around to see the different herbs. The down to business….cooking. Our group had a great time, with Xuan including everyone and carefully guiding us all through the process. Im not a chef but i was very pleased with my creations, learned a lot and had heaps of fun. Thanx Xuan and gang

I can highly recommend the eco cooking class and visit to the local market with "Tra Que Water Wheel". Our teacher Kun makes all the experience funny and very instructive. A great experience from the market visit to the eco farming walking tour to the cooking class with delicious dishes. I highly recommend this cooking class tour.

Wow, so glad we got to visit this lovely farm. Our hosts, three sisters, were so friendly, personable, and funny. We enjoyed a tour of the garden, trying our hand at preparing the garden, planting, and watering; making rice paper, cooking, and lots of eating. The food was delicious - one of the best meals we have had during our time in Vietnam. Definitely recommend a visit.

Our farming tour, rice paper making and cooking classes at Tra Que Water Wheel were so enjoyable and beyond our expectations. Our guides through these experiences were so personable, caring and humorous, we instantly felt at home. The sisters shared information, made us laugh and spent so much time with us, we had a lot of fun learning. The lunch was one of the best meals we've eaten in Vietnam. Thank you, ladies, for such a special experience and wonderful memories! Highly recommend Tra Que Water Wheel.
