Yummy traditional Yucatán food,excellent guide (Tania) - Really good food made in a private home by Tania (we helped). Yucatán specialties made a little differently than I am used to. We went shopping at the Mercado municipal and used those fresh ingredients to make pico de gallo, guacamole, fried squash, grilled chicken, mango margaritas, etc. she also drove us back to the ship, which wasn’t in the contract

Come Hungry! - Tanya was amazing and took us through the market explaining different types of local fruits and veggies that we would use for our meal. You get to pick chicken or fish and some sides as well. She shared all of the recipes with us and is very talented! Best food we ate the entire trip.

Best experiences ever - This tour was one of the nest experiences I've ever had. Definitely ask for the tequila tasting. The Guac was fabulous too. Hats off to our tour guide, Sergio, and Tanya from the homemade Guac.

A full and filling activity for all :) - A great time with our large family! The shopping, explanations, showing us how to make each item was fantastic. On top of learning the hows and whys of everything, the food was incredible and we are so happy to have the recipes to recreate them at our own homes. Thank you, thank you!

Cooking class on Cozumel - Love market and shopping…fresh margaritas were awesome. Cooking good too, but not to much hands on because of such a large group. Would limit to 4 or 6 max.
