I had such an amazing time cooking with Vonny. She taught me not only traditional cooking techniques, but the process and reasoning behind them all. I can't wait till I can return home and make it there! Highly recommend :)

Last minute tour
In the morning I wanted to book a tour for the same day in the afternoon. I was very pleased this was possible, even when so last minute. It was a mix of city and food which I loved!

connected me with local culture
Id was a great host for a fun and slightly different activity. Our mala making workshop helped me learn more about balinese culture, was relaxing, and now I have a great memento of my trip. I’m so glad I found the time to book Id for this!

Wonderful!
I had a wonderful time with Id! She’s absolutely someone I would love to see again when I return to Bali. It was a lovely experience as she invited me into her home and spoke some of the best English I’ve encountered in Bali. And my mala turned out excellent with some personality haha. I may stick to letting the pros make these in the future.

Amazing Experience
Id was patient, friendly and an easy going tutor. She was kind enough to come over to my villa to run a private lesson. She had a good selection of stones and thread to create the perfect mala.
