Worthwhile - This experience was amazing! We went through the entire process of making a very special dish and the accompanying sides. The family was welcoming and very kind to us. The tour guide helped to translate and explain the process to us. This was a hands on experience in the sense that we were truly cooking and chopping! This is a full 4 hour experience.
