Hanoi Farm & Cooking Class Tour: Full Day
Leave the busy streets behind and discover the authentic countryside lifestyle with this immersive Hanoi Farm & Cooking Class Tour: Full Day. Located just 17 km west of Hanoi, this eco-friendly experience offers travellers the opportunity to explore peaceful farming villages, colourful traditional markets, organic vegetable gardens, and authentic Vietnamese culinary traditions.
Your journey begins in the morning with a comfortable drive from Hanoi city center through suburban villages and scenic agricultural landscapes. Upon arrival, you will be warmly welcomed by a local host family before visiting one of the oldest traditional markets in the region, dating back to the Le King Dynasty. The market is especially lively on local market days when villagers from surrounding communities gather to trade fresh produce, poultry, bamboo baskets, traditional household items, and local products. Beneath ancient shady trees, you can witness vibrant rural life, observe local blacksmiths working beside glowing braziers, and meet elderly villagers still chewing traditional betel and areca nuts.
After exploring the market, continue walking through beautiful vegetable farms and fruit gardens surrounding the village. The fertile land here produces a variety of seasonal vegetables and fruits such as cabbage, cauliflower, tomatoes, green peas, snake beans, corn, oranges, pomelos, papaya, and many other local crops. During the tour, travellers are invited to join local farmers in daily agricultural activities depending on the season. You may help water vegetables, plant seedlings, harvest fresh produce, or prepare the soil while learning about traditional farming methods and sustainable cultivation techniques passed down through generations.
This unique cultural exchange also provides an opportunity to speak directly with experienced local farmers about their lifestyle, farming traditions, and the changing countryside of Northern Vietnam. The peaceful atmosphere, green landscapes, and friendly local community create a meaningful eco-tourism experience away from the tourist crowds.
After the farming activities, you will visit a traditional local home to join a hands-on Vietnamese cooking class. Using fresh organic ingredients harvested directly from the gardens, the host family will guide you through the preparation of authentic Vietnamese dishes and traditional local cakes. Learn about Vietnamese culinary culture while cooking together in a warm family atmosphere.
Once the meal is ready, enjoy a delicious homemade lunch featuring fresh vegetables, seasonal fruits, and regional specialties. The local family will also offer traditional green tea and local rice wine while sharing stories about Vietnamese customs, family traditions, and daily village life.
At the end of the experience, you may take a relaxing walk around the peaceful village to admire the rice fields, gardens, and traditional houses before returning comfortably to Hanoi city center in the late afternoon.
This Hanoi Farm & Cooking Class Tour is an ideal eco-friendly experience for travellers seeking authentic Hanoi Tours, local cultural immersion, sustainable travel, and meaningful connections with rural Vietnamese life.
I first traveled with Impress a few years ago when i visited Sapa and naturally it had to be Impress when i decide to visit Vietnam again.
They are very professional and have good English speaking guides which makes our tour so much convenient and comfortable.
Their local guides are very knowledgeable and gives excellent service.
I will gladly recommend to Impress Travel to my family and friends if they are visiting Vietnam.
Impress travel were amazing. Did my bookings with Daniel for our tour of Vietnam and I must say Daniel was very professional and prompt with his services. All the arrangement, plans, pick-up & drop-off services, hotels, vehicles, sightseeing tours and guides were spot on and excellent. Did 4 nights Hanoi, 1 night Hà Long Bay cruise, 3 nights Hoian, 4 nights Saigon and 1 night in Can Tho. It was totally awesome. Every part of the journey was superbly arranged and planned. I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!

It was amazing place to visit in the north of vietnam , we really enjoy all the trip especially their foods , culture, beautiful view and so on.
Accommodations were good especially Thang Long Espana Hotel (the Hotel Management automated upgraded us to VIP rooms.Is really unexpected). Overalled tours n places visited very well but only local guides r not good organizing the itineraries. Especially at Sapa Lao Cai and Cat Cat Villages walking tours push to the same day about 8hours for 7km (which is on 1st&2nd days arrival) so tiring. Lunch not good enough 4 so many hours of walking. In Danang Bana Hill the local guide shd arrange 2 visit Bana Hill 1st n not last coz' spend a short time n not nice photos taken due to rain (went in morning time no rain).
Overall tours, hotels, transportation, prices are strongly recommended. Especially Daniel Dang Impress Travel for welcoming and bye-bye wishes.
Daniel Dang tks from 8 of us having a wonderful time n memorable trip for 8D7N Sapa, Hanoi, Danang with Impress Travel. Meet u all again.
We are family of 6 from Singapore and Malaysia joining Hanoi Impress Travel on 30 October-04 November 2019. We are really impressed with the company and tour guides with their professionalism and well organised arrangement. Lily is our guide for Hanoi, Tam Coc and Ninh Binh. She is excellent and very informative. She even taking care of us until late night. We walk us from Old Quarters to the hotel and brought us to try the famous road side foods. She even helped us to pay for our order to avoid overcharge by the stall. Another guide, David BK (Swan Cruise) brought us to Halong Bay cruise. He is excellent and humorous. He handles everything throughout the trip. He served meals for guests on the cruise, organised happy hour, guiding us for Kayaking, teaching Taiji and cooking class on cruise. The cruise ship is ok and the hotel in Hanoi-Adamas Hotel is small but new and clean with reasonable ok breakfast. Anyway thank you for the wonderful arrangement.
We booked a 8 day private tour package for 9 persons for Northern and Central Vietnam . We experienced great and very professional service from the Impress travel team. Tommy was very easy to contact and accommodated our requests.
All the tour guides were very good, spoke good English, friendly and patient. All the vehicles were very clean , spacious enough for our group of 6 adults and 3 children. The drivers were extremely safe and ontime.
Meals were served in clean restaurants.
Overall we had a good holiday .Thank you Tommy and Impress travel for a great experience.

Impress Travels has been very helpful in making our vietnam travel amazing. We were a bunch of 7 friends wanting to go on a budget trip covering most locations. Hence, this subjected to a lot of changes during our discussion with the tour guide Daniel.
However, he has been patient enough in hearing out our needs - be it itienary , hotel bookings or even the mode of payment.
They really understand your needs. And needless to say our experience was amazing. All of this support and help has really made our vietnam trip the most memorable as far ❤️
I was searching for a reliable travel agent and come across Impress Travel and the many reviews of them. I booked 5D/4N, Hanoi-Trang An-Halong Bay private trip for a party of 6. I communicated with Mr Daniel Dang throughout the time until the day we arrived. Mr Daniel is very patient, helpful, and accommodating to our requirements despite many changes made to the itinerary. The price is very reasonable unlike other travel agents.
Our tour guide, Lily was very friendly and efficientknowledgeable and speak good English.
Highly recommend “Trang An Boat Tour”. The caves was spectacular and beautifully.
2D/1N Halong Bay – Swan Cruise was awesome with amazing view of the cave. Our guide Mr David was hilarious, helpful, accommodating, and everything was well organized. Beside the normal
activities of kayaking, swimming, Tai Chi, culinary lesson, we are indeed very very fortunate to have
the chance to celebrate the “Mooncake Festival” while cruising and admiring the full moon.
Spread of mooncake, dessert, sweet snack, fruits, cocktail, beer and mini dragon dance complete the celebration. Tourists from all over the world party all night long.
Although we paid for a 3-star package, the hotel (Thang Long Espana Hotel), meals and transport provided were also above average. Our gang have a very enjoyable and memorable trip in Hanoi.
Impress Travel really impressed us with their service and will engage their service in future.
P/S:- Don’t worry, Impress Travel CAN be trusted.
Hanoi – Duong Lam - Halong Bay – Hue – Danang – Hoi An – Ho Chi Minh city – Mekong Delta – Cai Be – Vinh Long – Can Tho – Phu Quoc Island - Ho Chi Minh city.
It is worth talking about details, say what you want to see, watch the hotels, indicate which rooms you want, the office will organize everything for you. I highly recommend!
The whole trip was arranged with the active help of Mr. Daniel Dang.
Thanks to Mr Tommy and staff for putting together an active and interesting tour in all 3 countries. In every city or town we had we met by very nice, friendly and knowledgeable guides. We went in June which was HOT HOT HOT and were always so happy to have an air conditioned vehicle with cold water waiting for us. We traveled by planes, trains, automobiles and boats and all were fabulously coordinated by Mr Tommy without fail. The selection of sites helped us enjoy so many aspects of all 3 countries!
