we were being picked up from the homestay and no one had arrived at the stated time. we were 30 minutes late and were told that if we couldn't finish our lantern in time we would have to book it again. I tried explaining that being late was not our fault however the language barrier seemed an issue. We did get to finish our lantern and the guide who was with us was great.

Itinerary
In the beginning, we will take a chance to taste the Vietnam traditional tea and enjoy the various flavor of tea during the lantern-making lesson. We provide the bamboo bars that form the basis of your creation, you do the rest. Your tutor will show you, from the first to last step, how to make your own Hoi An lantern to take home and show your friends. We offer many colors of silk so that you can choose which one of your favorites. The other secret is that these lanterns are easy to fold down and put in a corner of bag. Take an original souvenir home with after the tour end. Once completed, these lanterns are easy to fold, carry, or put in your luggage. Take an original, enjoyable, hand-made souvenir home from your visit to Hoi An.

We had such good fun at this class. There was lots of materials to choose from and our teacher was great, funny and helpful. Well worth going too. And they collapse to take home
Great Fun! Exactly what it says: in a typical 2 hour session you learn to make your own lantern (there is a choice of about 6 shapes) with help - as needed - from a great team of fun, patient people. Apart from shape, there is a very, very large choice of fabrics - so you will be making your own "one off". Finished lanterns can be folded flat for packing into your suitcase to take home. A really unique souvenir. Had a ball! Highly recommend!
We had an amazing time making lanterns. All the staff members were great. Very helpful and attentive. Place was easy to find.
A really fun experience, made more enjoyable by the enthusiasm of the family running the business. We made a lantern from scratch and were shown every process to making the lantern and we left with two beautiful collapsible lanterns which we customised. If you are in Hoi An this is a must do experience.
The was even better than expected. The staff was fun and they make sure everyone is successful, no matter your skill level. I highly recommend it for all ages, families, couples and individuals all had fun and made beautiful lanterns!
This was so awesome, not only was the lantern making fun and educational the people running it were amazing and made it so so enjoyable. 10/10
Great staff who made the activity really enjoyable. They supported us all patiently and calmly. The lanterns are brilliant - high quality resources and fabulous colours. I took 4 teenagers with me and we all loved it. Easily booked through Viator.
This class was so fun to do, and the teachers were so fun and kind. I think we were all ready to leave with awful looking lanterns because it was just for fun, but they really took time with each of us to make sure we left with a piece we were proud of. Was so glad to have done the class, especially since it wasn't something on our list before coming but it definitely ended up being one of the highlights.
We would definitely recommend to others. Tam and Vy were extremely helpful and friendly throughout the session. We had an amazing time.
Really good experience! The people working there were very nice and helped us build the lanterns. There were endless supply of refreshments (ice tea) and a little candy snack. Very cosy atmosphere. A fun way to take home a lantern from Hoi An while learning a new skill. It was also not that hard technically, so I'd imagine anyone could take the class with success.
My girlfriend and I spent the morning (about 2 hours) making lanterns with our helpful teacher Lin! Very personal service and attentive instruction (I am not very crafts-y so appreciated the help!). We each got to choose the colour we wanted and look forward to putting them up at home!
I really enjoyed this experience, I made a sun rise latern, very helpful staff who speak very good English so it is easy for them to give out instructions. The end product was beautiful too, very relaxing experience all together.
Me and my girlfriend had a very fun and relaxing time. The hosts are very welcoming and the tea was great! They where great teachers. I would recommend this for anyone of any age!
Thank you so much for an amazing morning! My two daughters (16 & 12) had an educational, creative, fun and completely different workshop, designing and making their own lanterns. The lanterns look really professional and the friendly helpful instructors guided and supported everyone through the lantern making process. Highly recommended!
Very friendly Welcoming followed by 2 hours very active in making my lantern under the guidance of very pedagogical craftsmen. Beautiful and professional result (I looked closely at the lanterns sold in Hoi An boutiqueds and some were a bit "sloppy"). Applied and international Mood very pleasant. Sure, I'll be back next year!
