Good Food and Laughs - Naseem was a great teacher and quite funny- so happy we did this cute experience. The guacamole technique was new and the corn tortillas were delicious. He taught us alot about the culture behind the dishes which I found to be quite enjoyable. Good times!

Great knowledgeable tour guide and traditional experience - We loved getting to experience the market and try some more traditional recipes and cooking. The class wasn't too complicated, so would be great for beginner cooks. Diego was really great and helpful in all aspects.

Fun, informative, authentic - The market was a fun experience, and I was able to buy a qualitt, hand stitched, locally made shirt for a great price. We learned a lot about Mexican cuisine you'd never learn from food network. Diego was funny and patient.

A great experience! - A great time from start to finish. We loved going to the market and purchasing our foods for our recipes. The mexican restaurant where we took our cookery class was unique and an authentic Mexican Restaurant. All the staff were very attentive. Nasim our guide was just great and the cookery lesson was most enjoyable. We loved the hands on experience making all our recipes then sitting down and enjoying our lunch with complimentary drinks. Value for money and a great experience to take part in. Highly recommend this activity.

Excellent vacation add on! - This was the best opportunity to see Cancun as is, away from the hotel district. Diego was fantastic and a wealth of information about the city and food! We made the best guacamole we have ever had and the entire meal was wonderful. The market experience was fun and eye opening! Diego and the driver Alex, were personable and easy to talk to. Well worth the money!

Booking was a challenge.... - Booking was a challenge. Tried to tell us we didn’t have hotel pick up/drop off when it clearly stated in advertisement. They finally did agree and provided it. Experience and guide was great.

Good experience, bad communication - Overall was good, Nassim led a good class. However, we had reached out to the operator to ask about transportation and didnt hear back for 5 days. We had to contact viator support. We still didn't hear back from anyone until the evening before. So had to arrange our own transportation and missed out on the market tour. The other couple in the class told us they did get to do it. Im disappointed we didn't get the full experience and would have appreciated receiving communication sooner since we reached out so far in advance.

The Experience Won't Be What They Promise - My girlfriend and I decided to do a date day while visiting Cancun. We signed up for this cooking class. Based on the description, we would get continental breakfast, a trip to the market to get local ingredients, and would then cook the food. I asked before the excursion if we would be picked up or if there would be transportation for us and the operator was nonresponsive. We were told to meet at the Mexican restaurant. When we got there, there was a couple already there, and it seems everyone was waiting on us. Come to find out, not only was the couple transported to the location, but they also had the breakfast and market visit and my girlfriend and I received none of this. The chef was nice and taught the class well. The other couple was also transported back to their resort. Honestly, I would not book this class again. I paid good money for the ENTIRE experience and only received a part of it. Do NOT recommend!
