5.00Oh My God!!! It was fantastic. I haven’t enjoyed a tour like this ever. Claudia was so good at this, I wanted to pack her up and take her home! She make the experience very special. Of course along with the other 4 people/2couples. She brought us out of out quiet selves to interact with each other. Her stories and comments on life and Barcelona were exceptional.

5.00Overall fantastic experience! Our guide, Claudia, was so much fun and gave useful insights and tips for buying the best quality of local products. She is also a skilled chef so the food was amazing; and the smaller group allowed us to interact with our guide more and learn so much! Don’t get fooled by the lower priced experiences like this one - This one is worth every penny!

Fun cooking experience in Barcelona

5.00Fun event. Tour of La Boqueria market followed by a Spanish tortilla and paella cooking class with wine and tapas served. Young and energetic host/chef kept everyone engaged. Was a small group, just my son and I, and a family of 4. Not very much hands on cooking, each group got to do one task for a dish overall cooked by the chef. Comfortable environment. Bit difficult to find the poorly marked entrance door.
Paella masterpiece
