Fun for the Whole Family - We were staying at a resort that was a little ways away but the reviews were so good we thought we’d venture out to try this experience. It was a little confusing in whether or not it included transportation so make sure you choose appropriately. We arrived right on time and were fortunate that it was just us! We had a personal experience and my 13-year old daughter especially loved it. I would highly recommend for all ages.

Hands on cooking! - We had so much fun on this tour in Cancun. We chose to option with transport and a market tour. Nasim our chef picked us up from our hotel and took us to a beautiful little souvenir shop followed by a market tour where we bought all of our ingredients for the day. We were also lucky enough to be taken behind the scenes at the tortilla shop and given a tour of how tortillas are made. When we arrived at the restaurant we got right into cooking. There was only 6 in our group which was a lovely size. We cooked 5 dishes including, enchilada, sope, guacamole, quesidilla. We even made our own tortillas!

Nice experience and delicious lunch - Nassim, our chef, was enthusiastic and fun, as he led us through a local market and our cooking journey. We very much enjoyed this class, though important for participants to know, we primarily served as prep staff. The only "dish" we made was guacamole. We learned a few techniques, pressed some tortilla dough to make sopas and tortillas and assembled our lunch. We very much enjoyed the experience. Max participation on website is 10 people, but we had 12. We were a bit crowded on the work station. The option for meeting at the restaurant or paying to get picked up and going to the market were not clear on the Viator app, but we were able to book that after confirmation, and for the small additional cost, is well worth it. The website indicates that they can accommodate vegetarians, but the meat substitute was sauteed mushrooms in 2 dishes, which Nassim stated was our "protein" (mushrooms have no protein and both chicken and pork were provided to non-vegetarians). Beans or cheese would have been welcome as a true protein alternative. But all in all, we recommend the experience.

Mexican cooking experience - We enjoyed the class but we’re not included in the market portion and don’t know why. Also, although the food was very good the class was only minimally hands on which was a disappointment. The chef was very good, very kind, and well informed.

Inaccurate description - There is no continent breakfast and coffee as listed. We were billed for the coffee after we ordered it. The instructor undercook 2 of the 4 tacos. The quality of the ingredients were poor and not enough. Paying $100 to learn the tacos and guacamole is very expensive. We were looking at more exotic menu.
