    It was a wonderful experience to learn how to cook Vietnamese dishes that I loved so I can re-create them at home.
    Traveled in May 2026
    Reply from: Up Travel Vietnam
    Michelle, knowing that you'll be bringing a little taste of Vietnam into your own kitchen is honestly the highest compliment our cooking class could receive! We're so thrilled the experience was such an enriching and memorable one, and that you left with the skills and confidence to recreate those beloved flavors at home. The whole team is absolutely delighted to have had you with us, and we hope to welcome you back for more culinary adventures in the future. A portion of your booking helps provide meals for children in Hanoi hospitals. Thank you for helping us give back to the community. Warmly, Up Travel Vietnam
