Bee and his wife were cheerful and accomodating. This experience was exactly what we came to Mongolia for. It was 5 hours of local culture. Far more more than a cooking class, and you could tell our hosts enjoyed it as much as we did!! 5 stars!

Great experience, we learned not only cooking but also got great insights into the culture and way of life of Mongolians. We were timely picked up from the hotel and dropped off afterwards. Customised requests were catered for and time flew by making it a great experience.
