Experience Workshops in Ho Chi Minh City with Withlocals

"IT was a very good experience for adults and children learning how to do our own jewlery. Shin knows a lot about jewlery and is a tourist guide top. She knows a lot about everything and We could havr a really great time with her! "

"Our day with Thien was so great! She is such a lovely and generous person. We had great fun and learnt a lot too. We definitely recommend this special kind of thing to do in HCMC."

"I had a fantastic morning with Thien yesterday. From the moment she met me I was made to feel very welcome, and nothing was too much trouble. Thien was super organised and taught me everything there is to know about the tools and items needed to make your own jewellery. She even gave me tips on where to find items locally and online. I was able to make a beaded necklace with matching bracelet and earrings, another beaded bracelet and two necklaces. The range of beads, clasps and threads was great. I thoroughly enjoyed Thien’s hospitality, amazing knowledge and skill, and her wonderful personality. I can thoroughly recommend this class. I would definitely do another class or tour with Thien in my next visit to Ho Chi Mibh. "

"My daughter's (8 & 10) and I had a great time doing the jewellery workshop. We learnt lots of techniques and produced some lovely pieces of jewellery. Then was great, she was really friendly and knowledgeable and made the experience alot of fun."

"Thien is such an amazing and kind woman. She taught me the basic techniques of making jewelry and we made an entire set; earrings, bracelet and necklaces. There were so many beads, shells and stones to choose from so you can truly make a jewelry set that fits your personality. Free water and fruit was included and Thien also told many interesting stories. Maybe doing a jewelry course on a trip is unconventional, but it surely was extraordinary 🩷"

"WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! My kids (ages 10 and 12) and I really enjoyed this jewelry making experience and Thien as our host. We loved all of our interactions with Thien as she was very laid back, funny and super quirky! The experience was well run from start to finish and Thien did a great job of teaching us all the basics of jewelry making. She was also really good with the kids and helped us problem solve anything that came up quickly. She was patient with us even though we were late and at times were a bit indecisive. Seriously one of the best experiences I’ve ever been on! The icing on the cake was that kids 10 and under are free which made this experience the absolute best value. We will cherish our personalized self made jewelry and the beautiful memories that were created for years to come. "

"As an expat in HCMC, I really recommend this experience with Thien. It's located quite far from the city center but worth it ! We learned the basis and get back home with beautiful souvenirs we created. Thien is a friendly person, we truly had a great time ! Thank you again"

"After taking me for a tour across Saigon, with lots of historical facts thrown in along the way, the always positive and smiling Thien showed me her handmade jewelry, and made a few new pieces as I quizzed her about her life, her father, a famous Vietnamese war photographer, and her ambition to become a photographer herself. Lasting late into the night, our meeting ended with lengthy goodbyes and the feeling that I had made a friend for life!"
