Lovely evening spent with Shalini and her family. I enjoyed the market trip and felt like it was a little insight into normal Indian life away from the tourist trail. Shalini is very easy to talk to and explained everything very clearly. The food was amazing and the company could not have been better. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.We had an amazing night with Shalini, she took us to the supermarket and explained all the different spices we can use in curries. Afterwards we cooked in her kitchen, and had a LOVELY meal with her family. It was a fantastic experience - we would reccomend to everyone!

This was the highlight of our trip to Jaipur. As other reviewer have reported this is an absolute must in Jaipur. It gives you a true flavour of the city, it's culture, it's cuisine, it's religion, it's beliefs, it's architecture, it's history. The guide's were excellent. They were very knowledgeable, humble, courteous and made sure you were safe at all times. I was surprised that we actually did yoga in the park behind the temple. This was refreshing. I have to admit the chai that they sell was absolutely the best I have had. We also had the local lassi ( buttermilk) and a snack call kachori. This was hot just out of the pan. We took frequent stops and for those concerned about fitness, this is a easy ride and should not be a major issues. The equipment were good quality. Bottom line : highly recommended.The cooking class was great and it was really nice to spend time with Shalini and her friendly family!

My girlfriend and I wanted to learn the basics of Indian cuisine and would have never imagined that meeting Shalini will be our time best spent in India. She is such a nice person and getting a feel of how local people actually live is amazing. Well, at least for us, it flipped the perception of Indian life, because seeing it is different than living it. The experience is full of positive surprises created by Shalini’s energy and her lovely family, therefore we strongly recommend you book this experience.My bf and I had the best time walking around the local stores with Shalini, learning more about typical daily life in India and the cooking that goes along with it.
