Lots of fun

The market tour with Sally was amazing...she helped me to understand how to use lots of different traditional herbs and ingredients. Irene was a brilliant teacher and we had lots of fun cooking outside and chatting. Would definitely recommend!

Save money, book direct!

The cooking class was amazing. However, what this actually is…. A huge mark up to pick you up from your hotel and drop you off at the class. You will NOT get the market tour which is included for much less money if you book direct. Book directly with the company through Viator, save a bunch of money, enjoy the full experience. If you are worried about the ride, download an app called grab. It’s like Uber here and super safe. The ride back cost us $3USD rather than the $75 mark up for the ride there.

Response from Host, May 2024

We aim to provide convenience and a seamless experience by offering hotel pickup and drop-off, but we understand your concerns about the pricing. We strive to offer high-quality experiences with a great value to our customers. We appreciate your insights and hope to see you again soon, enjoying the full experience at a better value. Safe travels!

Book elsewhere

Lozz, Apr 2024

Do not book via this site. They charge you double for the experience, find the company who's actually hosting the activity and book direct from them. The cooking class I did was literally double the cost, and through the actual operator there was a market visit we missed out on, and the "free pickup" was not organised properly (they told driver to pickup at 9:30am which is when class started, and it took 45min to get there! Luckily I requested the driver who messaged me the day prior to rather pick us up at 9am) So we paid double the price and missed out on the market visit, and was 15minutes late for the class. The actual cooking class was good, so I'd recommend finding the operator and going directly with them. I won't list the operator name in case this review is deleted as a result of me naming them.
