Worth the Experience! - My husband and I had a fantastic time being hosted by Maia, our tour guide/chef, and Andreas, our chef instructor during the Paella Cooking Experience + Boqueria Market Exclusive Tour. Maia was wonderful -- she took us to the market to shop for the seafood to be cooked in our paella and along the way she provided such interesting facts about the city, its rich history, and various cuisines. Andreas was equally wonderful as our chef instructor who not only taught us how to prepare delicious seafood paella, but did so in an engaging and entertaining way. I highly recommend signing up for this experience -- I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

A Must Do Experience! - A fabulous experience, from the food, to the wine, to the market and the music! The chef is extremely personable, knowledgeable about his cooking craft, easy going and just fun to talk to. The food and flavors were nothing like I ever experienced. It woke my palette up and I craved more! Fantastic!

Paella and Sangria Delight - We enjoyed everything! From the time we met and went to the market until we were the last ones at the kitchen speaking with the chef, it was perfect! The kitchen was well prepared for a group cooking experience. The paella was fabulous. The sangria delicious. I highly recommend this experience. It was a highlight of our time in Barcelona.

Delicious Paella in Barcelona - Not too much walking but Kako walked very fast and was not making sure others could keep up. Great visit to the market. Otherwise it was very good.
