“The trip was amazing. We were picked up from the hotel and taken to a local market. There, the guide showed us around the stalls, and we got to smell and taste various vegetables and spices. We also saw the process of making coconut milk. After that, we went to a cooking school where we could prepare the dishes we had chosen under the guidance of the head chef. Everyone was lovely and very helpful. Highly recommended!”
