    This is our first trip to PV and we wanted to learn how to make a few authentic Mexican dishes. The market tour was great. I wish we had a similar market at home. The ceviche, chilli sauce and enchiladas Manu made for us were amazing. The ceviche was the best I have ever eaten. I highly recommend this tour/cooking class.

    Lenka is a patient and kind instructor who opens her home for intimate cooking classes. My husband and I enjoyed baking after a day on the ski hill.

    This tour was both educational and fun...we enjoyed the fruits of our labor and had a leisurely lunch with Alexia and a glass (or two) of wine... it was a delightful way to spend a morning and afternoon...

    ...We felt very comfortable...Not only did the dishes taste really good, but there was also a delicious drink on the side. Communication worked very well in English...This course is worth every cent and we are very happy to have had such a great guest. (Translated by Google)

    ...To say that we enjoyed our experience in every way with him is an understatement.... Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to be made aware of the history, culture, preparation and cooking techniques of this wonderful part of the world. Oh and his food was outstanding!

    Paula is a fantastic host, she welcomes you into her home and makes you feel like family. I couldn't imagine a better day than the day we spent with Paula cooking and learning about the surrounding area. One of our best days on our trip to Portugal.

    This is the best cooking class I’ve ever taken...It was very nice to pick out our own vegetables and learn about the different spices. I would strongly urge anybody to do this, while they are in Jaipur.

    This tour was incredible! Sara was very knowledgeable and her English was excellent. I’m so glad my husband and I did a private tour so we were able to do exactly what we wanted...I wouldn’t have felt comfortable navigating the market by myself.

    We have a great evening...the entire experience is comfortable and enriching. Having an authentic local experience beats visiting attractions all day, we went home having a full stomach with lots of knowledge on species/ingredients/cooking skills!
