Ngoc was an amazing host and guide. What I got was far more than a tofu experience. I got a full morning of Vietnamese life in a village complete with ferry ride, visit to tofu production, food tasting, bicycle ride around the village and even a visit to her home. Ngoc is kind, knowledgeable and generous!!! I truly appreciated it all.

Hazel, our host, took us through the market and also guide us through the cooking course. She was informative and patient. She made the class fun and light. We had a good time. Highly recommend.

You must go on this tour! Ngoc is the most lovely tour guide and provides the most special experience. I was picked up by ferry and Ngoc took my group to a local house where we watched a couple making the tofu they sell at the village market every morning. The couple also taught us how to make the tofu ourselves and we were able to taste it alone and in a dish Ngoc made herself. Ngoc is very knowledgeable on sustainability and health and can answer any questions you may have. She even took me to explore more of the area outside of the tour after, which was amazing and so kind of her. Thank you so much!

This was an absolute highlight of our Vietnam trip! From the dawn ferry ride over the river, to a tofu making session with a local family, to a motorbike ride followed by a wonderful Vietnamese breakfast--what a morning!! Ngoc is a phenomenal leader and make the whole experience extra-special. If you want a taste of real Vietnamese culture, this can't be beat!

Tofu can be plain but this tour is not. Ngoc is an excellent guide, I learned a lot about tofu making, and even got to make and eat my own! The tofu and soymilk taste different and very fresh compared to store-bought - I was surprised actually by the difference. The family was kind and patient and were happy for me to take photos and videos and try out the different processes. It's located in a town across the river from Hanoi, so you start the day meeting at a ferry pick up (one of my photos is of the ferry pick up spot so you know you're in the correct location). It's very casual, no signage or office or anything like that, just a simple boat that goes back and forth. While you wait you can watch people swimming in the river and working out. Hardcore! I did the tour before my flight home at 1230pm, and took a grab to the airport. Took about 15 minutes for the driver to pick me up and about 30 minutes to airport so it worked very smoothly. Highly recommend doing it! Even if you don't eat much tofu it's still a very interesting experience.
