Wonderful experience

We were welcomed into the home of a beautiful family. We met parents and two daughters. We were rushed for time due to having to catch a flight and they were so accommodating to our needs. The food was amazing as was the forthcoming information they provided regarding life in India. Very interesting and informative tour and I highly recommend this tour. Can’t recommend enough.

11/10 would recommend

My dear friend, Faramarz, recommended me this beautiful experience and it was more than worth it! I honestly had THE best time Zareen and Marjan. The mother-daughter cooking class was definitely one of my greatest highlights while being in India. Both of them put so much love in this culinary class and at the same time a lot of knowledge. You’ll learn all the recipes from scratch while receiving superinteresting insights into all the spices and the Afghan-Indian culture!! 11/10 would recommend!...read more
