Excellent food cooking class and market experience. There was only two of us on the tour and my wife got to learn to cook her favorite dish. Would recommend this company this was our second time to go with them in San Jose del Cabo.

This was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever paid for! We started at the local market, where we shopped alongside locals and learned how to pick fresh fruits and vegetables, the history behind the ingredients, and the traditions that make Mexican food and family culture …
