5.00I have done many cooking classes in many countries, but this was truly one of my favourites! Our guide, Bopha, was really lovely and welcoming. She took us to village markets and farms which were so charming and interesting and made us feel we were experiencing the authentic Cambodia! The venue for our cooking class was picturesque, and the meal we made was one of the best we had on our trip. I thoroughly recommend this experience 😊
Highly recommend

5.00The entire experience was wonderful! From the time our guide Phareon, picked us up to the time we arrived back at our destination he took care of us. It was wonderful to see the village life, the crops they grow and how day to day life unfolds. The market had such a variety of good eats and the cooking experience was so informative and fun. We had fish amok, chicken curry soup, and a banana tapioca dessert. If you want to see the simple life and get away from the city this trip is for you. A+ Tour Guide and Tour!
Amazing!

5.00I had a fantastic time at this afternoon cooking class & village tour, It’s started with tuk tuk transport from my hotel to outside of Siem Reap city, and my guide Ron walked with me around the village to visit many places such as local market and vegetable farms get in touch with the locals & told me about all the Khmer ingredients, allowing me to smell different herbs and spices. She even purchased some traditional desserts for me to try. We then went to a gorgeous open-air kitchen, and prepared a 3 course meal. The chef was really knowledgeable and helpful - I had so much fun learning about Khmer cooking! I then enjoyed the meal on their patio, which included not only the dishes I made but also many more! I HIGHLY recommend this class!
Fantastic Experience!
