This class was a highlight of our stay in Oaxaca. Learned about the local peoples, their food and traditions. The tour through the market and finding new ingredients was an adventure. The kitchen was large with room for everyone to complete their tasks that were assigned by the leader, Martin (who was an amazing organizer!) The menu that Martin devised on the fly to accommodate everyone's dietary requirements came together smoothly and the feast we all enjoyed at the end was one of the best meals we had on our trip. Will sign up again on our next trip. Highly recommend.

What a fantastic day, full of experiences and beautiful places. Ede, the guide, is one of the best guides I’ve ever had, and she organized the trip so well. It was a long day but without a single minute that was boring. We learned so much and saw so much attractions and places around Oaxaca. Each stop in this tour was enjoyable. Warmly recommended!
