We learned how easy paella is to make at home with simple and clear instructions with our chef, Fabio. It was a relaxed, casual evening and we enjoyed having our paella with sangria in the patio afterwards.

Such a lovely experience....

Hannah_P, Dec 2025

Such a lovely experience. Extremely accommodating to all my dietary requirements. Note that you don’t actually cook yourself but nevertheless was very involved. Views were incredible of the city but the building was a bit difficult to locate. Surprise dessert was delicious!! Definitely recommend

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating. We really your business. Please let us know what we can do for you in the future. Follow us on social media @laterrazadelcristina to keep in touch!

Dreadful!!

Rachele_M, Sep 2025

Don’t book this experience! I couldn’t leave no stars so 1 is wat they get and that’s being kind considering the situation, I didn’t even get to experience it, the building is insanely hard to find and when I eventually did locate it with the help of lovely locals I couldn’t enter the building, the host didn’t answer my calls nor respond to my texts and so I had to leave after waiting around to try and get in - oh and they won’t refund me either so they essentially took my money and denied me entry - to say I’m disappointed is an understatement, shame on the host and Viator for such dreadful service!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We are very sorry to read this review, but we feel it is important to clarify the facts for the sake of transparency to all future guests. First of all, the meeting point, start time, and our late-arrival policy are clearly indicated in every guest’s voucher and in all pre-arrival communication. As with all our experiences, our team was present on time and the activity started as scheduled. Unfortunately, in this case the guest did not arrive at the meeting point at the correct time. When we noticed she had not checked in, we attempted to contact her through the phone number provided. We sent messages and made calls, as we routinely do whenever a guest is late or appears lost. Unfortunately, no contact was made before the experience began, and by the time she arrived it was already too late to join the session. In her own written statement to the platform, the guest explained that she was delayed because she stumbled on her new dress, went home to change clothes and shoes, and therefore only tried to reach the location well past the scheduled start time. We completely understand that unexpected situations can happen, but it is each guest’s responsibility to plan accordingly and to inform us immediately if they are delayed. In fact, on the few occasions when other guests have called us to notify us of a delay, we have always done our best to assist them. The guest has since accused us very aggressively of “stealing” and even demanded private security footage. Please note that, under EU privacy regulations, such material can only be shared with the platform or with competent authorities if officially requested, never directly with customers. We have already provided Viator with all relevant information and evidence. We must emphasize that we are not “denying access” or “taking money unfairly.” We simply apply the same cancellation and no-show policies that are standard across the industry and that every customer agrees to at the time of booking through Viator. Late arrivals and no-shows are non-refundable. In this case, the guest’s own written words confirm she arrived late due to personal reasons, which is outside our responsibility. We truly regret that she feels disappointed, but we also have a responsibility to the rest of our guests, who arrived on time and enjoyed the experience as planned. We always work hard to offer a high-quality, friendly, and professional service, and hundreds of positive reviews reflect that commitment. To future guests reading this: please rest assured that we take hospitality and communication very seriously. If you ever face difficulties, please contact us immediately — we are always happy to help if we are informed in time.

Unfortunate

Ceri_C, Aug 2025

On our first day in Spain I planned this cooking class. We arrived at 12:00 for our class and no one was there. It was an extremely hot day and after several messages (while sitting outside) to class and Viator we found out the instructor had us coming in the evening; however, all our documents (3) had noon or 12:00. Viator at first refused to give me a refund but when I sent them all my documents they agreed there was a mistake. We asked the teacher if we could come the following day but when we didn't hear back we just cancelled the class and booked a different cooking class with Expedia. I will not use Viator again. This made our first day in Spain an unpleasant beginning.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hi Ceri, as you mentioned, the problem was from Viator and not from us. We received the voucher for you coming at 17:30h... Please, remove the review since it is not fair that due an issue coming from the platform and not from us, the supplier of the activity. Thanks

We learned how easy...

Paella course

Thierry_R, Mar 2025

You don't get to do it yourself, you follow an explanation. There was also very few time on the Sangria explanation. Actually just the recipe was mentioned but we didn't do anything ourselves other than eating and drinking.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Hi Thierry, this is a Showcooking experience as you read on the title of the activity so it is not a hands-on cooking class. At least, you should read the title of the things you book... There is no explanation of the Sangria, it is a courtesy on the house, for the sangria´s description you needed to book the Sangria tasting Experience. Before you write reviews based on things you do not know, you should read (it os a good habit) Regards

Not exactly what it says it is.

Jo_B, Sep 2024

The paella demonstration was great, the chef was engaging and knowledgeable, however there was no sangria demonstration at all. We just received a glass of Sangria with no explanation as to how it is made. The Operators then held a Sangria demonstration at the next table with another group but it was sold as a separate experience. It was meant to be 2 1/2 hours of drinks, however we were told after two hours there would be no more service and the waitress was quite rude. It ruined what could have been a great experience.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Hello! Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry you feel this way and will use this information you gave us to better the company. About the Sangria, this activity it does not include a sangria tasting class, that is actually another experience you can see in our list of activities. We recommend anyone to read what is included or not before making any reservation and the information is very clear and the activity next where you were sitting down was a Sherry Wine Tasting nor the Sangria one. It is important for us people make sure the review they added in order for other customers to clearly see what happened. About our staff, we are sorry to hear the gave you the wrong information about the drinks however once our manager heard about that he instantly corrected it and gave you drinks until 8Pm as listed. Regards

So-So

Cyndi_B, Sep 2024

Not exactly what we were hoping for. The paella cooking demonstration and explanation was good but the paella ended up pretty darn salty. It was advertised as all you can drink but limited on the host seeing your empty glass. When the food was served there was nothing to drink. Most at our table just picked at the food and were finally given a glass of Sangria just before leaving. All in all better off saving your money.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Hi there, than for leaving a review. We will check with our chef in order to see what happened that day however it is the only 2 stars review we got from that group. About the salt content, hope you understand it is up to taste, we always add the same quantity of salt to our paella and it seems everyone likes it :) In terms of drinks is all you want to drink so if your glass was empty, you just needed to ask. We are so sure you order your drinks in a restaurant so no differences at all :) Regards

Great time

This was really a fabulous experience in Seville. Antonio was a perfect host/chef/guide. The information that he provided while preparing the paella was excellent. The food, drink and ambience was truly memorable. The prep area for the demonstration was well organized - everyone had a great view of what he was doing at all times. Eating out on the terrace was fantastic- great views and paella was excellent. Highly recommend this tour

Bradley_B, Mar 2024

This was a great experience to see some of the tequniques used to ooke paella. The chef was happy to pass on his culinary knowledge and some fun paella food facts. We enjoyed the views while eating the delicious paella and enjoyed the company of our new found friends.

TABITHA_R, Dec 2023

Antonio, the chef, did an amazing job teaching us about the native paella dish! He also did a fabulous job with explaining everything in detail so that we could understand it and why things are done the way they are. Highly recommend this! We went with our family which had four kids ages 18-10 and they all enjoyed it and loved the food!!

Ava_T, Nov 2022

Overall wonderful experience. Antonio was professional, knowledgeable, passionate, and spoke great English. The show cooking made it manageable to recreate a great paella dish for anyone (and tasted great). There was responsive and clear communication from the team for arrival time and location. Two thumbs up for the whole experience.

pinky_s, Aug 2022

Antonio did a wonderful job making us feel welcomed and comfortable. We enjoyed the snacks and wine while he showed us how he made paella. Eating the delicious paella rooftop was a fun experience. The white wine sangria was the best I have ever had! Loved the experience and highly recommend it. Our 16yr old boy and 18yr old girl also enjoyed it.
