5.00This was one of the best experiences we had our entire trip. What a fun activity. She did an amazing job explaining everything and really engaging the entire group, most of us didn't know each other. The dessert was AMAZING! So much fun and really relaxed environment. Extremely clean and professional
Worth doing!

5.00A fantastic experience that I, my mother, and my 3 kids truly enjoyed. Joana was a great hostess and teacher and the dessert was the best I’ve had while in Portugal. It was fun meeting people from different parts of the world and we all enjoyed being a part of the baking process. I highly recommend this activity!!
The yummy side of Portugal!

5.00Loved learning about the history of what we were making (natas) and the hands on was so enjoyable. Our knowledgeable and friendly host was able to adjust the recipe to accommodate our gluten free daughter. Lovely to spend time with a local who has obvious (and justifiable) pride in her city and country. She also gave us suggestions in terms of noteworthy restaurants, things to do etc. It was a really enjoyable morning!
