Best Paella Trip we found - OMG this was so worth it. Rafa and his crew were incredibly entertaining. In addition, the location was at a traditional house out of town. They picked us up in Valencia. House was about 30 minutes outside of town and it was perfect. You can’t go wrong at this trip

Paella Master Chef - Wow, wow, wow! One of the best experiences we have had in Spain. Rafa, Julieta and Arturo are a great team and fun to spend time with. We had a friend from Valencia with us and she thoroughly enjoyed the time as well. One added bonus is we had a couple of vegetarians with us and they got to make their own vegetarian paella! Fantástico!

Paella Making Class with Chef Rafael- Best experience in Valencia - First off - this paella making class was fun!!! Chef Rafael was witty , knowledgeable , & an amazingly gracious host . He picked us up at designated spot in Valencia & drove my hubby & I with 4 other folks to his home . Another van with Colietta our English interpreter took 7 other folks that were also part of this class. It was about a 20 minute comfortable ride. His home was in an beautiful orange orchard - open to a large covered patio where the cooking and dining was done. It was an idyllic setting . We were given option of making traditional paella ( chicken & rabbit) . Vegetarian & seafood. As there were 13 members in group , we paired off & all 3 types of paellas were made . Each couple made the paella of their choice . Chef provided snacks , beverages and sangria while paella cooked last 20 minutes . Then we sat down & for me , this was the best meal I had during our 4 wk stay in Spain!! That paella was truly delicious! The couples shared their paellas with others so all three kinds could be tasted. After some lingering after the meal , Chef drive us back to our initial meeting space . Overall experience about 3 1/2hrs from pick up to drop off This experience is a stellar memory , well worth price & a must do experience while in Valencia !!

Fab experience for all - Such a fun experience. Rafa and Oscar (I think? translator) were great. Funny, welcoming and can certainly cook authentic paella. Rafa welcomed us into his home, what view! We laughed, cooked, drank wine and was one of my top Spanish experiences over the years. Would definitely recommend as a fabulous way to spend a day. Would love it Rafa if you could email the recipes to me:)

Traditional paella made with love and laughter - Rafa's humour and passion for paella made learning to cook this Valencian dish so much fun. The paella was delicious and learning about the traditions associated with OT was very interesting. The atmosphere was relaxed and peaceful Thank you Rafa and team for a lovely day and memorable experience of our time in Valencia.
