I chose this class with this part included: With a professional chef guiding you from the start, learn about the labyrinthian market and pick up ingredients for your lesson but there was no shopping for ingredients and I was really looking forward to getting to know the market. The chef, per my request, took me on a separate tour afterward. Viator did not respond to my queries via email before the trip. I had to make a call instead as the trip got closer. I got a cryptic message with the wrong dates on it from someone on my voucher which led to more questions. My main question was how to find the starting point which was never answered in either my email questions or my phone call. As a result it was very difficult to find the stall as nobody spoke English. Finally after asking several stall owners, one person recognized the name of the establishment and led me there. VIATOR NEEDED TO PROVIDE A MAP. Communication was terrible from Viator. However, the chef, did his best to teach me about Mexican cooking. We made tortillas and I learned a lot from him. Shopping for the ingredients in the market first would have made for a much more fulfilling experience. As it was, I felt a little like kitchen help during the lesson. I will say that the shrimp tacos were delicious and creative and the chef accomodated my Gluten Free dietary requirement.

I love going to real markets for the sights and smells. The class was small, just my friend and I, so we received a lot of attention and advice. The instructor was very engaging. We made tamales, a signature drink, fresh fish tacos that were similar to a tempura style, salsa and tacos. A great experience !!! One recommendation is that a list of recipes be provided at the end of the class so the lessons learned can be replicated.
