“The Paella class was fantastic! Location was easy to find, just off La Ramblas. Our hosts/teachers, Matteo and Bebe were brilliant. Very welcoming, highly entertaining and super knowledgeable. I’m not much of a cook usually but this was amazing! They offered a chicken alternative for those that don’t like seafood and non-alcoholic Sangria for our son so he could still make his own Sangria as part of the class! The walk down to the market was great, definitely make time in your trip to visit the market, it’s an experience in itself, so many delicious options to try! I would definitely recommend this class/tour to anyone! Thankyou Matteo and Bebe…”

“Excellent tour with our guide, Jordy. So much food in a short time so bring an appetite. Love the olives, cheese and meat tasting at the market but the croissant place was unbelievably good. Would have liked the tour to last another hour to include even more walking tour so that you could burn calories before eating more. By the time we got to the paella no one had an appetite. The seafood paella was my least favorite but still very good just not very much seafood. Jordy was the perfect guide”
