What people are saying about Oaxaca de Juarez

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.

This was a wonderful tour! Our driver was so courageous, friendly and knowledgeable. The small community we visited was spectacular. Beautiful art and people. We learned a ton and had fun painting. (The mezcal helped!) Highly recommended!!!

Guide The market was very fun with the guidance of Mr. Gerald, the chef, and the traditional home cooking class was also very interesting. Thank you very much.

Fabulous market tour to buy all the ingredients for cooking lunch. Gerardo is an excellent guide, teacher, and chef. What an amazing experience!

Great experience! Walking in the market was fabulous and the actual cooking was great fun!
