“This was a very relaxed and informative tour. We enjoyed going to the vegetable farm, mushroom farm and market before the cooking lesson. Our guide Bopha was awesome 🤩 She was very clear, knowledgeable and kind- we appreciated her company a lot. She also assisted us at the market when we wanted to try different fruits/local snacks. The instructions during the cooking session was very clear and easy to follow.”

“Super attività per fare una cosa “diversa”. Ci è piaciuto particolarmente il giro al mercato locale dove eravamo gli unici turisti e la passeggiata nel villaggio. Corso di cucina simpatico e divertente con le ricette stampate alla fine. Ci siamo divertiti un sacco. Grazie al nostro accompagnatore e alla nostra cuoca.”
