Top experience!!
kathrynbD6061KP, October 2026
This was a highlight of our trip to Vientiane. Tram was exceptional from start to finish. We loved seeing all the foods in the market and learning about different ways of cooking them and their names. We loved the boats and the crab fishing - so fun! The cooking class was brilliant and we are now pumped about cooking all the dishes for family when we get home. Tram made the recipes all seem so easy and engaging.
