5.00This was such a wonderful experience! Our family made friends and laughed and giggled all the way along. I would absolutely suggest to anyone to enjoy this experience. We had Claudia as our chef and 10/10 she was a riot. Food was yummy and the explanations even better. Tour of the market was very cool also.
