Excellent experience

A lovely few hours with an experienced guide with lots of energy! Happy and well informed of local traditions and specialities. The boat ride was short but enjoyable and the family who ran the boats were very friendly and accommodating. Cooking experience was excellent and we made more food than expected!

Ebba D, June 2026
Great boat trip with a nice boat host, very helpful. The cooking class was absolutely incredible and the teacher was nice and good at teaching. The food was amazing and you got a lot of food so you almost don’t need to eat before you get here because you will want to eat everything. Would really recommend!:)
