Fun and delicious! The instructors are very charismatic, fantastic chefs, and care about their guests. They prepared appetizers, which included the best mussels I’ve ever had, and ensured everyone’s sangria was full while we cooked! We had an amazing meal and it was fun to learn how to cook paella! I highly recommend this company and any tour they provide!

Today’s paella class was a beautiful immersion into Valencian cooking. From the moment we started prepping the ingredients, the instructor shared stories, traditions, and techniques that brought the dish to life. The aroma, the simmering broth, the slow build toward the socarrat—it all felt like participating in something truly local and meaningful. The final paella was incredible, and the experience was super fun and unforgettable.

What an amazing experience! The paella making class was super informative, fun, and incredible value for money. The food was absolutely delicious, the sangria was amazing, and the whole atmosphere was fantastic from start to finish.
A huge shoutout to Ana, who was the best host - so friendly, funny, and knowledgeable throughout the entire experience. She made everything easy to follow and kept everyone entertained the whole time.
Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting and looking for a fun, authentic, and delicious experience!

The session was informative and fun. Also, everything was delicious! We asked lots of questions and learned a lot!
The location is a bit difficult to find, but other than that, I would highly recommend!

Such a personal and fun experience for the entire family. Learned a ton, ate a ton and drank a ton... would definitely do another style in the future but we started it off right with the Valencian style.

It was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish, Jose and William were very knowledgable and made the experience a lot of fun. The sangria was plentiful and tge paella we prepared was amazing. Highly recommend this experience.
Nicholas_K, Sep 2025
The instructor (Guillermo) was wonderful! He taught us the history of the dish, the techniques required to make it, what to consider when we try it at home, and all with a nice bit of humor. Plenty of drinks to go around and resulted in a lovely meal at the end. Might have been something I missed in the posting but I thought we would be making paella in groups, maybe of 4 instead of 12 all together. This large group resulted in use not really making our own paella, more so assisting the chef and watching.

We had a fantastic experience. It was such a fun time. The tapas and drinks were delicious. We enjoyed making Paella Valencia na. It turned out great. Juan and his “son” were excellent.
Manting_D, Sep 2025
It was a fun experience. Teachers are friendly. The food was yum. We had a few drinks and tapas during the course. A nice way to meet other people as well.

Caroline_D, Sep 2025
We had a wonderful time!! Jose and Valentin were fantastic hosts and teachers! A great way to meet people and eat delicious food.
Richard_K, Aug 2025
It’s a great experience with others. Beginning with patatas bravas, olives and a couple more appetizers. We were then able to cook (participate in the cooking) and hear about the history and the proper way to prepare Paella, accompanied with Sangria. Then we sat down with everyone to eat the fruits of “our” labor. Many opportunities for alcohol…Sangria, red or white wine (while eating the Paella), a shot of Mistela with a Valencian sponge cake for dessert. Highly recommend for anyone that likes to learn and eat!
Luis_A, Jul 2025
Great staff! Good time! Learned small important details on a more authentic Paella...totally worth it.
Jared_M, Jul 2025
Honestly such an amazing night! Chris & Lily were such great hosts. We made lifelong friendships with our classmates too. Would definitely return and recommend to all our friends.

Great environment and value for the cost. They give you so much food and drink. I was nervous to be solo doing this, but they immediately make you feel like one family
