Amazing Experience- Thank you Wilbert & Sepia! - Our family had such a great experience with Sepia Cooking Class, and we especially want to thank Wilbert. He helped us plan almost our entire trip to Peru, including our hotels, transportation, Machu Picchu, and so much more. From the very beginning, Wilbert was always quick to respond and happy to answer any questions we had. He gave us great recommendations, made planning so much easier, and made sure everything went smoothly. You can really tell he cares about the people he helps, and we honestly don't think our trip would have been the same without him. The cooking class was one of our favorite experiences. Javier gave us a great tour of San Pedro Market, where we learned about local foods, met vendors, and got to try different ingredients before heading to the kitchen. The chef made the class fun and easy to follow as we prepared ceviche, lomo saltado, and traditional Peruvian drinks. Everything was delicious, and eating together in the garden was the perfect ending. Thank you to Wilbert, Javier, and the entire Sepia team for making this such a special experience. We would recommend it to anyone visiting Cusco!

Great experience, would reccomend - My mum and I had a great time at the cooking class! As pescatarians, we really appreciated how well the team catered to our dietary needs. The food we made was absolutely delicious and felt really traditional to Peru. I particularly enjoyed the tour around the market. It made everything make much more sense once we started cooking, and it was a great way to learn about the ingredients and local food culture. It also meant I didn’t need to do a separate walking tour of Cusco! I would 100% recommend this experience , and the Pisco Sours were delicious!

One of our favorite memories - My daughter and I had the most fun with this market tour and cooking class. After Machu Picchu, this was the experience we cannot stop talking about! We learned a ton and laughed a lot. The food was delicious, the guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and Chef Melany was an excellent instructor. It was a great way for us to try some things we might not have otherwise and practice our Spanish. Highly recommend.
