Cai Rang Floating Market - Ho Chi Minh City

Can Tho

The market, as explained by our guide, seemed more like a tourist attraction maintained by the government, rather than an authentic local market still in regular use. Nevertheless, experiencing it was cool, but I would have preferred a more genuine experience.

Ho Chi Minh City - Ben Tre, Coconut Paradise - Can Tho
Ho Chi Minh City - Ben Tre, Coconut Paradise - Can Tho
Vietnam

The visit to Ben Tre, described as a 'Coconut Paradise,' turned out to be more of a stop at a gift shop. We expected a hands-on experience at a coconut plant, but what we really got was a demonstration on how to make candy and an opportunity to buy products. While it's interesting to see how things are processed on a small scale, calling it a coconut plant might be misleading.

Hanoi Cooking Class & Hanoi City Tour

Hanoi

I was a bit disappointed with the Hanoi Cooking Class & City Tour. I was expecting an interactive cooking class where I'd learn to make authentic Vietnamese dishes. Instead, it was more of a cooking demo for tourists, with minimal interaction. I was shown how to roll a spring roll, but not much else, which felt more like a snack-making session than a full cooking class.
