The cooking class was...

Rachel_S, Jan 2025

The cooking class was great and so was Naseem our guide. The market visit was a bit disappointing, thought we would have spent more time walking the food area talking about more of the local dishes and unique ingredients locally other than the one we made. Besides that it was enjoyable and I would recommend it. Driver Alex was prompt and felt safe on the roads with him.
