Thank you for the wonderful experience - It was very well organised, they spoke really good English. The teachers were friendly and funny, and made sure our 10 years old boy was catered for.
It was fun for the whole family, and the food and drink was amazing. Highly recommended

A must do in Valencia - We all thoroughly enjoyed our experience with My First Paella. Great to go and source the ingredients from a local market, learn about the ingredients and return to the welcoming kitchen to put those ingredients into action. We all learned so much! Everyone was super passionate, knowledgeable and really cared about the whole experience. For us this is a must do experience when visiting Valencia - and our Paella making at home will also be vastly improved!

Simply the best authentic Valencian experience you can do! - This was such a fabulous experience to do with the family. Visiting a real local market to buy the ingredients, tasting amazing tapas and Sangria, learning to cook the paella and then sitting down with everyone to eat the fruits of our labour was so much fun. It engaged all our senses and the staff were so passionate, funny and easy to be with. It's a must do when visiting Valencia and these guys are just brilliant 👏 Memories made today, thank you!

Delightful journey into paella - Wonderful fun experience. John and Chris are great, very enthusiastic, and I apologize that I forgot our 3rd chef but she was delightful as well. All and all a fun experience and if you want to experience the making of paella a must do.

Must do paella cooking class in Valencia! - What a wonderful way to dive into a Valencian tradition! My husband, college aged son, and I had the most amazing time. The instructors were fun, personable, and knowledgeable adding much to the memorable afternoon! And the sangria, tapas, paella, and dessert were delicious. Can't wait to attempt making this once we get home!

inspiring seafood pealla workshop - I had a very nice cooking experience with the crew of my firstpaella. Especially Anna stood out as a very warm, inspiring cook, giving some very good 'tips' about the do's and don'ts in order to cook the perfect seafood paella. Her two male collegues (Jose and I forgot the other name, sorry) were also very forthcoming and hospitable. Thank you so much. I can certainly recommend this workshop and their sangria ;-)

Fantastic class! - What a wonderful experience! Jose, Cristina and Anna were all fun and informative. The food was absolutely delicious, and with the cross section of attendees from all of the world ( Canada, US, Germany, Holland & Switzerland ) it made the experience even better. Would highly recommend this class Muchas Gracias!

Wonderfully delicious! - Highly recommend this tour! Our three tour guides John, Chris and Anna were so fun. They really worked well together and we learned so much. We laughed all afternoon. Plus the paella was delicious.
We started off in the market, then headed back to the kitchen and had sangria and tapas. We learned how to make the sangria. Cooking with Anna was just the best! She really loves her job and cooking, She’s a real people person — they all are! This was our last day in Valencia, and probably one of our best!
