Hoi An Handicraft Tours
Description
Two workshops run here: lantern-making and Vietnamese coffee. Both run about two hours, and both send you home with something useful – either a silk lantern you built from raw sticks and fabric, or the recipes and technique to make five classic Vietnamese coffees back in your own kitchen.
The lantern class is the main draw. You pick your shape and fabric, then the staff walk you through the whole build. The instructors are funny and patient, which matters more than it sounds when you’re wrestling with wire frames and glue.
The coffee class covers five drinks with real historical context – not a gimmick session. Vegan milk alternatives are available, though fair warning: five coffees in two hours is a lot of caffeine for the uninitiated.
Highlights

Cons
- Five coffees in two hours means you will be wired by the end - plan accordingly
- Nothing to note on the lantern side, but the coffee class is a sit-down, hands-on session so it's not a drop-in activity
