Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"My partner and I took a private cooking class with Jose and it was just amazing! We've learned so much about the food, the cooking process including chefs tricks and tipps and the history of the food. The food cooking was really fun and informative. We had very creative tapas to start with Vermouth and then cooked a paella de marisco step by step ourselves from scratch which was super cool. We had cava and wine while cooking - Jose not only provides great food but also a great selection of local wines that go with cooking. We ended with a desert and also got a cooking book with many recipes. A 20/10 review - can highly recommend. "
"We had so much fun with Jose and a one-on-one cooking experience. We highly recommend you do this. You'll learn some history, taste some great food and be pleasantly entertained by Jose. "
"We arrived in Valencia and met Jose for our paella cookery class Jose is a great host and so knowledgeable we learned a lot in our class The food and drink was excellent and he also gave us some good ideas of other dishes to try when we went exploring the area "
"Yesterday we had the cooking class with José. And to be honest, it was a wonderful experience. We didn't feel like a customer. It quickly felt like friends cooking together. José is a very warmhearted, patient teacher who always shows his love for food, creativity, quality and his beloved profession. Besides the amazing food, the enriching conversations and the wonderful atmosphere, this event was truly one of the best things during our vacation in Spain. We wish José all the best and can just recommend it for everybody."

"From the start, Chef Jose was extraordinarily gracious in accommodating our quirky schedule and my gluten allergy. No cookie-cutter, antiseptic corporate kitchen experience her as Chef Jose warmly welcomed you into his own kitchen. A native of Valencia who has logged years in Michellin-starred kitchens in London and Valencia, Chef Jose is a personable, engaging teacher. We added two additional tapas and sangria to the core paella class offered here. Best decision ever: The two added tapas were beautiful, highly creative "takes" on Spanish classics worthy of a Michellin kitchen. Both dishes tasted simply sublime! Equally delicious was Chef Jose's traditional Valencia Paella. Thanks to Chef Jose's precise instructions and clear illustrations (and a bonus set of take-away recipes), we now feel 100% equipped to make at home! What a magical afternoon with a talented chef and engaging culinary guide! I can't recommend enough! "
"My family had the best afternoon with Jose. He is very personable and knowledgeable about his craft. We enjoyed his company while learning a lot about making Paella. It was one of our favorite things to do while we were in Spain. It’s a must do! "
"There were 5 in our group, 4 love cooking, the other loves eating. We all had a fabulous time. Jose was warm, welcoming and a generous host and so knowledgeable about cooking, València and the region. We learned so much and enjoyed fabulous food and local drinks. We may not be able to eat Paella or drink sangria in a restaurant again as it can’t match Jose’s! This was definitely the highlight of our trip! "
