10/10 recommend!

Great experience! Got to go to the central market and walk around a bit. I was paired up with another solo person and we hit it off. Everyone in my group was awesome! Learned a lot of little things I wouldn’t have thought of to do when making paella. Highly recommend!

Authentic Valencian Paella Cooking Class

Carole_T, May 2026

Best Paella & cooking lesson from a true master

What an absolute joy to spend these hours with our tour guides, along with Rafa and his team. Communication from Julieta was spot on and appreciated. Meeting point clearly explained. The drive to Rafa’s home was comfortable and Julieta conversed about what we were passing while being a very safe driver. We were warmly welcomed by Rafa as soon as we pulled up, entered his patio, offered cold beverages and proceeded up into his garden to pick our fresh rosemary to be used in our paella. This was the perfect paella cooking class, out of the city in the beautiful countryside near Parque Natural de la Albufera. Rafa was a perfect host, an excellent step by step instructor and the best Paella Master…WOW WOW WOW!!! As Rafa speaks his native Spanish, Julieta interpreted everything he said and was able to carry out his sense of humor. They were a perfect team and enhanced the experience. We were all welcomed in to Rafa’s home just like we were truly his guests and even his friends. Rafa you are a gem! The cold beverages, tapas, PAELLA, Sangria, fresh made cake by Rafa that morning, watermelon and after dinner wine were all excellent. Rafa’s team moved about seamlessly, clearing plates, filling wine glasses and scrubbing our Paella pans. This experience was truly unforgettable and 100% worth it. Thank you Rafa and Julieta for your knowledge and humor.

Make your day "Any Sunday"

We would highly recommend taking Jose's cooking class. We wished we could give him more Stars. It was not just another Paella cooking class. The food was delicious! We learned and understand now the proper Valencian Paella cooking. It was a beautiful learning experience of the Valencian food, culture, and Jose personal journey. Jose guided us though this culinary journey from his initial aperitif, tapas, drinks, Paella, and finishing with a twist on a Spanish light dessert of course "Chef Jose" style. Chef Jose is a wonderful teacher, personable, authentic, funny. Vive la vida Valenciana, Any day is truly a Sunday!

Valencia Tapas and Sightseeing Guided Tour

Thomas_W, Oct 2025

It’s all about the tapas.

Tapas are one of the top reasons to visit Spain. Maria took us on a tour of the old city and gave us a great perspective of the old and new. But this tour is about tapas and local favorite places to enjoy them. Sant Jaume was my favorite and worth a return visit. Best of all, Maria was great company and my wife and I enjoyed spending a memorable afternoon with her.
