“The guide was Luc, he was very knowledgeable about the market, and the vendors in the market. He was a chef for the cooking class as well! Him and Erica were amazing chefs and it was a lot of fun making pasta, bruschetta, and the pork we bought from the market. Worth the money and all day experience. Even gave little certificates for completely the course!”

“Great cooking class with anicoló. The only downside was the guy who greeted us (Jon) who was impolite, we came in early as specified by the instructions, he could've been nice in saying they're not ready to host us yet but he chose the rude way, his colleagues were extremely nice and kind and dealt with the matter professionally. Otherwise everything was great.”
