I searched for a ccoking class in Delhi. This option was quite expensive but unfortunately was neither a cooking class, nor in Delhi. The event took place nearly 3 hours north of Delhi and there was no cooking class. I cannot recommedn this tour.

I had travelled all over the India. but this tour was once in a lifetime time experience. This was the best tour. If I try to find a single problem in this tour then I will not be able to find.If you want you really feel the nature and real India then go for this trip. Everything this was very properly managed in this tour and what a person is. What ever he promised before trip he delivered that.

Amazing experience! Way more than what I had anticipated from this tour. I got a chance to see the Indian village culture so closely and I felt a part of it as long as I was there.. 3 generations living together, and their bonding with each other, was a unique experience for me. And the way they welcomed me to their places, is something that can not be expressed in words! One of the best memories I have ever had in my travelling life. Highly recommended. Thank you Virsa Travels!!

Arrangements worked perfectly. Rahul was a great guide. Breakfast stop at an up-market Dhaba rest stop on the way, but we didn't have much as we'd already had breakfast at our hotel. Really interesting to see life in a village, in contrast to our family visit in Delhi. We were hosted by a family with large landholdings - esp. for sugar cane - and were given a tour of the village seeing some of the smaller farms, a local temple, and visiting the local elementary school. The family was very hospitable: their English was OK but not good apart from a daughter, but Rahul filled the gaps. Be aware it is a long journey: on the return you hit heavy traffic in Delhi and the last few miles take for ever, so make sure you ask for comfort breaks on the way.

We took the day excursion to a rural village, tiny, several hours north of Delhi. The trip included lunch in a farmers home, travel to a larger town and then cooking and dinner with another family. What a great way to understand real India, family life, their values, etc. We were four adult friends, but I can see this also being a wonderful experience for children! Much netter than museums! Our guide Rahul Walia was charming and everyone he introduced us to was as well. So informative, we must have asked a million questions about families, customs, marriage, caste, nothing was off limits. Thank you Rahul for an incredible day! Visited December 2016
