    This was a fantastic experience. I have been coming to Sri-Lanka for years and never eaten Jack fruit curry, I am now addicted. There was a lot of food I had not eaten. The tea tasting was educational as well. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    We had a great tour with Nim for a few hours, starting with delicious snacks and continuing with great food, tea, and drinks at the end. It was not only the food but also the conversation that made it a unique experience. Highly recommended tour.

    Nim was an excellent guide and cooking instructor. I had an absolutely mazing experience! I’m a professional chef myself and learned about so many new techniques, spices, aromatics and traditional cooking. He was a wonderful host in his kitchen and really enjoyed learning about this beautiful country and customs. I highly recommend attending a tour and class. You won’t be disappointed!

    Great city tour and food tastings along the way with our guide Nim. We loved trying all of the local specialities, and it was great to learn about the foods from an experienced local foodie. Nim was super personable and knowledgeable, and he made the day extra fun and enjoyable. It was also nice being able to walk some and take tuk tuks when needed to get to a variety of areas around the city. We had a much better understanding of Colombo and Sri Lankan food after this tour. We highly recommend it.

    The tour was like meeting a friend in his home town and them taking you on a food tour of their home town. We both enjoyed everything. Very local, very good.
