Travel off the Eaten Path

This was our favorite experience while we were visiting Paris. Our guide was fabulous. She made us feel very welcome, showed us the best market, and helped us experience Paris like a local! She was knowledgeable in the local wine and cheese and spent time sharing customary shopping and eating habits of the French. I highly recommend this experience with Laurence.

Thoroughly enjoyed 2+ hours with Gerry. We learned quite a bit about the oyster life cycle, oyster farming and the local marine life, followed by an oyster shucking lesson. Then, a huge number of oysters were poured on our table, for a literally “all you can shuck” feast, accompanied by a delicious white wine. Gerry is informative and charming. A very, very fun and memorable afternoon. 

I loved this experience meeting Fabio and his mother and learning how to make several Colombian specialties. From the market visit to the general cooking tips to the hands-on lesson in making arepas and patacones to (of course) eating the delicious meal, this was an unforgettable experience where I felt beyond welcomed. Fabio really went out of his way to make sure I got everything I wanted out of it.

I loved cooking and chatting with Diep and hanging out with her parents as well. Diep is a lovely person, very easy to talk with. And she did a nice job including me in the preparation of our meal and explaining all the ingredients and preparations. We had so much delicious food! Overall a fabulous way to enjoy Danang food and culture.

Incredible food with an interesting and cultural experience. Dewa showed us his compound and provided insight into his life and culture. Definitely recommend for anyone trying to experience a true Balinese lifestyle.

I very rarely leave reviews, but was really blown away by this experience. It’s a must do for anyone who wants to experience the art of pasta making and cooking in Italy. Our host Cinzia was incredibly nice, highly knowledgeable and a great teacher and chef. Overall, this was one of the most memorable parts of our trip.

We were in food Heaven. Jacqueline went above and beyond our expectations. We LOVED every single thing, not one dish failed to impress. She was prepared for our cooking class visit and all dishes were precut with ingredients easily accessible. Her environment is clean and the food is so natural and healthy with all the herbs and lemons coming from her garden. Healthy, authentic, and delicious!

My wife and I were lucky enough to have dinner with Sandro and his wife. Sandro works at the Cordon Bleu so his food was splendid. As my wife is vegan and I am vegetarian, he expertly created a menu that worked for us covering vegan takes on Peruvian dishes. I would highly recommend booking any of the experiences he offers.

We had the best day with Chef Ray. He went above and beyond to make our experience exceptional. I was impressed that he paid great attention to the finer details. Overall a lovely man who was extremely hospitable.

The family were very friendly and welcoming. We learned a lot about the food culture also they made us know about their food secrets which was great. We loved every minute and we will definitely do it again.
