Incredible gastronomic experience

I work in tourism, and a colleague and I went to try this experience to offer it to our international passengers. We came back delighted! The place is super atmospheric, everything is impeccable, they pay attention to every detail. The activity was very entertaining. I am a vegetarian and that was respected at all times, even with separate cutlery and pots to avoid cross-contamination. It was noticeable that the whole group enjoyed it a lot. Highly recommended!

Great empanada and alfajor workshop!

The experience was extremely smooth. Our host, Micaela D., handled the class in an excellent manner, considering that the group spoke three different languages. The explanations were very clear; she detailed every part of the process for us and answered all our questions about the steps to follow with great patience. The activity was very fun and we loved the opportunity to immediately enjoy what we prepared ourselves. Finally, they were super kind and during the class, they prepared an individual recipe for another guest and for me because we are vegetarians🙌

Authentic Empanada Cooking adventure in Buenos Aires

The small group empanada cooking class was a wonderful experience while traveling through Buenos Aries. Overall this experience was exactly as advertised to bring a cooking experience to tourists with a down to earth and fun way to learn about the culture and enjoy some quiet quality time in the city. Our your guide Mika P. Was excellent from her enthusiasm for teaching us the traditional craft of making empanadas to an in depth overview to the history and cooking style of the people in Argentina. The setting provided made it feel like being just at home where people traveling could feel just at home with eachother in an interpersonal class to make it feel just like cooking with family. Not only was it a great experience, but provided the insight and skills for being able to bring this cooking style home to my own family and friends and to the rest of the world. I definitely would recommend anyone who likes cooking and trying foods from around the world to give it a try if you are in the Buenos Aries, Palermo Soho area!

Wonderful tour and great guide

Our guide was excellent, super knowledgeable on the history and culture of Argentina, with plenty of recommendations all over the city and province. The food was very nice, especially the ice cream. It was plenty of food. Very walkable trip, not super strenuous. Because of the weather and time of year, it also ended up being a private tour! Would recommend.

Tango Lesson and Wine Tasting in Buenos Aires, Argentina

nigel_p, Feb 2026

Laid back fun Tango lesson with wine and more.

Catalina was in touch before the class to check we had all the information we needed. We were a small group (6of us) in a dance studio set above a bar in central BA. Catalina was lovely, she was unhurried and put us all at ease before teaching us the tango, from how the locals dance to the traditional tango. What can you do in one session but amazingly we were all dancing tango around the room by the end of the session. Then we sat, ate some empanadas and drank 2 sorts of wine, and just chatted about life, Buenos Aires and dancing. It was very special. We would definitely recommend this experience.
