An unforgettable culinary experience. - I would recommend this cooking class to anyone interested in learning new techniques and improving their cooking skills. The chef/instructor is passionate and knowledgeable, and his teaching style is as fun as it is educational. The recipes taught are varied and delicious, and the organization of the class is impeccable. Additionally, students are encouraged to actively participate, creating an interactive and collaborative learning environment. Personally, I have had amazing results in my dishes after taking this class. It's definitely worth doing.

No show - Waited at the meeting point for over half an hour and no one bothered showing up. I called several times and they also couldn’t bother picking up the phone.

Do NOT sign up for this tour. - Don't book this cooking experience. It's a scam. We went to the meeting place and it's a locked up door. No one showed up to meet us in the square either. They do not answer messages. They didn't even answer the Viator representative either. I had to request a refund through Viator.
