Great Family Sunday Lunch
Akram and his family were very welcoming with at least 3 generations of the wider family there, all hospitable and interesting.
The food was delicious and Akram's English was very good so he was able to answer lots of questions we had had about Uzbekistan.
We quickly felt like we were guests, not just tourists. I would really recommend this very memorable experience.

Must do in Uzbekistan if you want to experience the culture

This was so much more than a cooking class—it was a genuine Uzbek family experience in a village outside Samarkand.

I went to the market with them and we made the national food of plove and the best kebab/shakili i ever had. They were all cooked using real tree wood coal.
The food was absolutely delicious, b...daha fazla oku

The best of best
The absolute highlight of my trip to Samarkand! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This cooking class was honestly the best experience I had during my entire trip to Samarkand. From the moment we arrived, the family made me feel so welcome. It was so much more than just a cooking class. It was a genuine opportunity to experience Uzbek culture, food, traditions, and family life.
We cooked traditional Uzbek plov and khanom together, and everything was explained with so much care and patience. The food was absolutely deli...daha fazla oku

Delicious food, kind people
I was sick and could not participate, but my friend went and had an amazing time. She reported back that spending time with the family was wonderful, as was the food and stops along the way. She greatly enjoyed the experience.

Authentisch trifft es gut
Wenn man Land UND Leute kennenlernen will, ist diese Tour eine sehr gute Gelegenheit. Man bekommte einen Einblick abseits der Touristen Hotspots. Akram und seine Familie haben mich sehr offen und freundlich aufgenommen, und wir hatten sehr interessante Gespräche und Austasch.
Danke Akram, daß ich bei euch zu Gast sein durfte!
