“Hygiene was great but host should ask people with longer hair to tie it. Wasn’t clear where all implements were - so spent a while trying to find things eg measuring jugs. Other things like pepper vs volcanic salt are not labeled well - so it’s not always clear what ingredient you’re handling. There is no demo and people are making different things so it’s a bit hectic and the host could do with a helper. We ended up washing and drying dishes to help.

“The tour guide was so friendly and informative, she gave us so much information about the culture as well as taking us to some great places which we then went back to re visit the next day too. As we are vegetarian she made the tour bespoke for us, there was full vegan options for everything but as we eat cheese etc we had alternative options to suit us.

She was very attentive and we really enjoyed our…”
