“I’m 24, originally from the United States, and recently moved to Valencia. My parents came to visit, and we booked this paella cooking class to do together with my friends. Belen and Reyes hosted the class, and it was absolutely perfect — we had the most amazing time. We started with appetizers and drinks, then cooked the paellas alongside the other attendees. My friend has a nut allergy, and Reyes thoughtfully prepared special appetizers just for her so she could enjoy everything safely — such a kind touch.

Vivi was so personable and welcoming. We bought spices at her favorite place and will be eating dinner where she recommended tonight. Only wish we had taken food tour soon after arriving for paella as place we chose ourselves was no good. She is a true gem and her company is blessed to have her working for them.”
