We had an absolutely fantastic day with Adi, experiencing authentic Balinese cooking followed by a brilliant tour around Ubud. The morning began with a visit to the local market, where we explored fresh produce, discovered new fruits and vegetables, and learned about everyday Balinese ingredients. It was a colourful and fascinating start to the day.
The cooking class itself was superb — fun, hands‑on, and really well organised. We learned how to prepare traditional Balinese dishes step by step, and the team made the whole experience enjoyable and relaxed. Sitting down to eat everything we’d cooked for lunch was a real highlight.
In the afternoon, we visited the Ubud Monkey Sanctuary and then the stunning Tegenungan Waterfall. Both stops were memorable and added great variety to the day.
A huge thank you to Adi. He was brilliant — knowledgeable, friendly, and always making sure we were looked after. His English was excellent, and he shared so much insight into Balinese culture throughout the day.
Overall, a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Bali.

More Than Just a Cooking Class
This was such a special experience – way more than just learning to cook. We started at a local market, seeing where the locals shop for fresh ingredients, which gave us a real feel for Balinese life.
At the cooking class, we were welcomed into a beautiful Balinese home with tea and a black rice and banana dessert. It felt so personal, and we got to ask all our questions about their food and culture.
The cooking itself was incredible! My favorites were the perfectly spiced chicken skewers and the coconut pancakes filled with coconut sugar – absolutely delicious. This class gave us a real connection to Bali through its food, and I’d recommend it to anyone. An experience I’ll never forget!

Amazing experience!
We really enjoyed the cooking class and the various dishes you get to create using different methods. There was lots of laughter during the entire class and the food looked and tasted amazing at the end. Getting the recipes afterwards was also nice :)

Perfect ending
Absolutely loved this experience full of authentic touches! From our arrival to the private home, tour of herb and vegetable garden, a Balinese coffee and traditional sweets, every detail surpassed the other. Meal preparation was fun and well paced. The final product, a delicious meal. Highly recommend this tour as a way to further immerse yourself in the most welcoming of cultures.
