Great experience, would reccomend

My mum and I had a great time at the cooking class! As pescatarians, we really appreciated how well the team catered to our dietary needs.

So fun and delicious food!

The cooking class was so much fun! We learned about the market and got to try different foods and treats, and also learned a lot about the history of the city on the short walking tour. The chef was amazing, and the food was delicious! So so much fun, I highly recommend

One of our favorite memories

My daughter and I had the most fun with this market tour and cooking class. After Machu Picchu, this was the experience we cannot stop talking about! We learned a ton and laughed a lot. The food was delicious, the guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and Chef Melany was an excellent instructor. It was a great way for us to try some things we might not have otherwise and practice our Spanish. Highly recommend.
