    Highly recommend/ ジョージア旅行のハイライトになりました

    Yuki_S, May 2025
    Last time, I rated here 1, it was because of the bad attitude from Viator's Help Center. If the staff contacted Traveling Spoon with necessary action, the host nor I didn't had to go through this unnecessary things. Anyway, thanks to Traveling Spoon who had tried their best to contact the host Dinara, I was able to participate even just 2 days before the class. Dinara and I could communicate through whatsapp which made it easier for me to explain what I wanted to learn and also to know how to access to her place. Dinara and her families including cute dogs welcomed me warmly. Not only cooking together the Georgian foods, but also, we had a good time while drinking Georgian wines. Of course, learning how to cook is important, but what made me so glad is that we could know each other's culture through nice conversation. If you are looking for such kind of experience, I highly recommend to join. Dinara is quite busy, but I hope you could join. 以前、評価1をつけましたが、それは Viatorのオペレーターの対応に問題があったためでした。 実際Traveling Spoonの方は、きちんとホストに連絡を取ってくださり、主催日ギリギリでしたがなんとか参加することができました。 当日までのやりとりはwhatsappを使い、作ってみたい料理や道順など事前にディナラさんと連絡できたため、スムーズでした。 当日、ディナラさんやご家族とワンちゃんたちが温かく受け入れてくださり、ヒンカリを始めとするジョージア料理を一緒に作りながら、ワインを片手に楽しい会話もでき、本当に参加することができて良かったです。 お料理はもちろん、お互いの文化などなど こういったレッスンを通して、現地の方と 交流できる場はとても素晴らしいと思います。 彼女は他のお仕事もあって忙しいかもですが、タイミング合うならば、ぜひ参加してほしいと心から思います。
