Amazing experience - Rondana is an amazing instructor. Our food actually turned out outstanding! He's patient and knowledgeable about the food and it's attachment to his country. He made sure that we had fun while cooking, but at the same time learning about what we're doing.

Highly recommend😁 - If there was something I would recommend to do in Bali it is this cooking class it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time. Rondana picked us up from our hotel he was an amazing driver and teacher he took us to a traditional market before we started and got to try some new fruits which were yummy then we went to the cooking class before we started we had coffee and some delicious snacks.he was super funny and we felt like we could ask him anything.Then he took us to our next activity water sports and he waited 2 hours for us to finish and took us back to our hotel.Thank you Rondana for a 1000/10 experience 😁

Great cooking course - strongly reccomend - Excellent cooking course run by a lovely group of people, doing their utmost to make the course as good as possible. We made a variety of interesting Balinese dishes which were all delicious and the instructors were very patient and accommodating. If you’re into spicy food do ask to put more chilli’s in! The course also included tea and Balinese sweet cakes in a beautiful traditional Balinese house where the instructor sat with us and answered any questions we had on the house and balinese culture in general. The course took place overlooking a stunning garden and ended with a leisurely dinner in this setting, at no point did we feel rushed. Best course we have done in Bali. 10/10 recommend.

Fantastic experience - True Balinese cuisine experience! All the ingredients used are grown in their garden, which you can visit to see how each product is born. The guys are all incredible and kind, very precise in their explanations and always ready to help you if needed. They literally open the doors of their home to you and make you feel like family. The place is a paradise! We really recommend it to everyone! Terima kasih!!!

Great experience ♡ - Today we had the best day of our Bali trip thanks to Bali Natural Tours, our nice driver Candra and the cooking class team. Everything was very well organized and we were picked up at the hotel and warmly welcomed. On the trip to the Blue Lagoon, Candra told us a lot about the country and its people. In Padangbai we then got on the boat and went to two different snorkeling spots, which were really great and not too crowded. We saw lots of fish and a turtle. Then we went to the cooking class - our absolute highlight! The cooking team was so incredibly nice and funny, we had a lot of fun and cooked so well in a beautiful setting. We would like to say a big thank you, will definitely recommend you and would love to come back. All the best to you!
