4.00We started our morning in a local market and Lilly our tour guide was great at explaining the items we would need for the cooking class later. The buffalo ride was short, but fun. I wish we had someone to translate or explain what was going on during the basket boat ride. It was just us and the woman rowing. They could have taken us down the river a little more.Cooking class was a lot of fun and we got to eat a great meal afterwards. All in all a good way to spend our morning

5.00The Buffalo ride is weary popular so you don't get to ride it for to long but it was still so cool to try. The basket boat was great. We fished after smal crabs and got like a cool gift(mantis) made from grass and leafs and the driver sang gangdamstile🤣🤣. The finel activity was a cooking class that was amazing, the chef joked around and was so helpful and friendly. Me and my friends talked about not doing this activity but wee all hadd a great time and we did not regret it. Overall a great activity i would recommend😁
Highly recommended

5.00The buffalo ride could be longer or more interactive - it only took a few minutes. But that's enough. You could try catching crabs on the water, but we don't eat crabs, so we felt sorry for them. We just wanted to ride on the water. The cooking lesson was great, I recommend it for groups of 4 friends.
