★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,731 reviews · from $27Our pick

Learn Khmer cooking in Siem Reap with a local guide, market visit, tuk-tuk transfers, and four dishes for $27.

“Great morning activity. Pick up and communication was smooth. The tour round the market stalls and garden was interesting and the right amount of time (~20-30 mins) and the cooking was fun. You get to choose four dishes (we each did different so had 8 to eat between us). Recipe is basic with simple short cuts but honestly, better for making quickly at home. Overall worth it!”
