Delicious Basque food and wine! - The cooking class was amazing, and Alberto taught us so much about Basque cooking. All of the dishes and wines that we tried were delicious. He also had a QR code we could use to access the recipes to try at home. I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to get an authentic San Sebastián culinary experience.

Interesting and fun! - A great evening cooking traditional Basque food, learning about the history and drinking traditional Basque drinks. The venue was perfect for the occasion and it was lovely to meet other tourists and cook with them.

Good time, good meal - The food was delicious and plentiful. Instructions were clear and I think I should be able to replicate (or close!) the recipes substituting ingredients available in the US. It was a fun time and a good meal!

Great cooking class experience! - We had a great experience with this cooking class, guided by Silvia and professional chef Natalia. They were most kind and knowledgeable. This class was engaging and interactive, to actually cook the dishes, and drink wine and chat with the whole group. The entire experience was wonderful, and I would definitely recommend it!

Must do! - The cooking was amazing and we learned to make traditional Basque foods from Pil Pil, Basque cheesecake, Gilda pinxos, and stuffed peppers. The wine served (included) was delicious and plentiful. Recipes were given immediate! Small intimate class. The guide and instructor were knowledgeable and friendly!

Loved the experience - We had such a great time learning how to cook some basque classics and spending time with the people in the class. Mila ( our guide) and Natalia (our chef instructor) were fabulous. To set expectations, students do some hands on activities but Natalia did more as she explained the history of the dishes and how to prepare and cook them. Excellent class

Bad experience! - The experience was terrible because it didn’t happen. We showed up 3 minutes late and there was no one to be found. When I called for assistance, I was told tough luck. When I asked for a refund, I was told no way. When I asked why they collected my contact information but did not contact me, I was told it is not there policy to do so. I remain very disappointed!
