5.00Absolutely worth every penny. We had to walk to get from the market to the class because the roads were closed for the processiones, but even that was amazing and beautiful. The class was fun, Karina was a great teacher, Estaban was very helpful and informative as a guide and interpreter when needed. 100% would do again.
Excellent! Don't skip the market tour!

5.00What a great experience! Dario was a great guide and made the entire experience fun and funny. Don't skip the market tour! We discovered a lot of cool veggies and other food you can't find in the US. Plus, we rode from the market to the kitchen site on a chicken bus, an experience we wouldn't have tried on our own! And the dishes we cooked were excellent--definitely ones I want to try at home. If I have one complaint, it's that they don't provide copies of the recipes to take home, but that's a minor issue for an otherwise excellent, fun, informative class. Thanks, Dario and Cuscun!
Best cooking class ever

5.00We helped prepare a four-course dinner using local foods and recipes. Dario, the guide/chef first gave us a tour of the central market and purchased some of the ingredients for the dinner. We rode a chicken bus to the dining location just outside the city. Then we drank wine and chopped it all up. He and his assistants did the final preparation while the guests chatted. We were all dropped off at our hotels about 6 hours later. This was a wonderful experience, best cooking class we have ever taken!

5.00The market tour with Fernanda was fun! She was extremely friendly and made the experience well worth it. Belinda, the chief, was amazing, had lots of patience with the group and was very friendly as well. The rooftop view was beautiful. My husband and I were so impressed with the whole experience and take a beautiful memory back home. Hands down the best experience!
Fun evening out to the market and learning to cook yummy food.
