Not as advertised!
The tour was meant to start at 7am, got a message the night before saying we would be picked up at 8am. The driver didn't arrive until 9am. We then drove from 1hr 30min to a 2/3 closed market. The tour was meant to include a market tour where you buy the ingredients and they demonstrate how to bargain, the driver brought some fruit and told us to walk around the very empty market. We then drove for another hour to the cooking school. I didn't really learn anything. I chopped a few ingredients, mixed it with some chicken mince and cooked it on charcoal. My partner help make curry and soup. We sat down for lunch which was okay. The black rice pudding was burnt (they cooked it) and inedible. The tour was meant to include breakfast, lunch and dinner - it only included lunch. We then drove for 2 hours back to our hotel. The cooking school part was 40min max where we mainly chopped ingredients. The location of the school was lovely and the staff were very nice. Just not what was advertised and we pretty much wasted our whole day driving.

Awesome experience
The tour was breathtaking. It all started with a food market where you can buy some fruits for your dessert later on in the meal. The cooking class was in a restaurant with a very beautiful rice field and an amazing view of the rainforest. The chef was there to show my wife and I, the steps and process for making the dish. After we were done, we enjoyed the amazing food we created. It was delicious! Even though it is a little far out in the country, it is definitely worth the experience.

Incredible class, scenic, informative and humbling!
This cooking class was literally the highlight day of our Bali trip! There was nothing touristy about cooking outdoors in the open with an incredible scenic backdrop, utilising amazing local produce and learning from Neuman (a Balinese MasterChef!) and the rest of Gede's team! Highly recommend to anyone with an interest in cooking and learning traditional Balinese methods

Delicious Balinese Food
It’s not everyday you get views of a rainforest while you cook. This experience was amazing and an absolute highlight of our trip to Bali. You could feel the passion these people had for their community and culture. The day started with a tour of a local market, then a tour of the rice fields as you make your way to the cooking school. If you want to find a way to support a little Balinese community first hand, especially after the struggles of Covid, book yourself into this tour - you won’t regret it at all.
Response from the operator: Hi Sir, Thank you very much for your great attention, I hope the cooking class activity that you have done in my place, will have spesial memory for your holiday in Bali Best regards Gede

An enjoyable culinary experience. Don’t miss this while you are in Bali.
Started off with a morning market tour. The market is in a building (vs. a traditional open air market) and many stalls were closed due to Ramadan or covid. The most enjoyable part is the cooking class which is the main point. We cooked 6 dishes… a young papaya soup, curry chicken, chicken sate lilit, 2 veggie dishes and a dessert. We prepared everything from scratch. Food was tasty as we cooked under the supervision of a local chef. Cook with a valley view right in front of you. Very enjoyable, don’t miss it!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your great attention with our cooking class

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Authentic Balinese Cooking Classes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jimbaran.
How much does Authentic Balinese Cooking Classes cost?
+
Prices start at $63 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jimbaran usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Authentic Balinese Cooking Classes take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jimbaran is not rushed.
Is Authentic Balinese Cooking Classes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jimbaran, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Authentic Balinese Cooking Classes?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Authentic Balinese Cooking Classes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Authentic Balinese Cooking Classes?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jimbaran can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jimbaran and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Authentic Balinese Cooking Classes start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jimbaran within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Jimbaran?
+
On Outty we rank every Jimbaran experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Discover The Best of Ubud: All-Inclusive and Private Guided Tour, Ubud: Monkey Forest, Jungle Swing, Rice Terrace and Water Temple, Best of Ubud Private and All-Inclusive 1-Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Jimbaran?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Jimbaran?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
