    We are thrilled we booked this time to learn to cook Columbian specialties with Daniele and her mom. We enjoyed the stories and connection. Daniele’s home was welcoming and comfortable. We had fun!

    This tour was excellent and a highlight of my trip....this experience went well beyond the food...Yes, the food was wonderful but the developed friendship was the big reward of this tour. This is your opportunity to understand this culture on the ground level - don’t miss it!!!

    This is a must do!...If I could give this 20 stars, I would because Putu was great. This was one of my favorite things in Ubud and I would go do it again if I was staying longer. I highly recommend you don’t skip over this opportunity!
