Second time experiencing a taste of Valencia. - This was our second time doing this tour. We had a such a great experience the first time, we took our most recent visitors. They loved it. It was as amazing as it was the first time. Great drinks, great food and great entertainment. It gives you that authentic Spanish cultural experience. We actually plan on doing this again in September (with new guests). Highly recommend!!!

Fun day - Great value for money. - We had a really great day at My first Paella. The kitchens were great, nicely decorated and lovely and cool! The staff were all really friendly and did a great job at getting everyone involved and working together. We met some lovely people doing the course, everyone was encouraged to interact which created a great atmosphere. The Paella tasted amazing and we enjoyed sitting together to enjoy it, along with a glass or two of wine. Special thanks to José who guided us with kindness and humour to make our seafood paella.

Great experience - highly recommend - Our family of four (two adults, two teenagers) really enjoyed this entire experience. It was interesting to learn the history, how locals go to market, to prepare the dish and enjoy it! Great tapas and sangria to fuel our efforts. The staff were fabulous. Charming and friendly. They made it a great experience for everyone. The other participants in the class were from many places around the world, which was a fun experience too.
