What Travelers Say
5/5
from 21 verified GetYourGuide travelers
"The workshop was fabulous. We enjoyed the shopping trip to the market and the team work creating the mole. Our favourite part was eating our creation. Then the bonus of getting to take home a jar of the mole we made. Highly recommend this experience."
"Totally awesome. Martin was patient, knowledgeable, and willing to let us participate. The setting was clean and welcoming."
"Superb! Everything was well organized in a wonderful setting. We had a knowledgeable and fun instructor who answered every question and had us actually prepare the mole under her direction. She was great. I highly recommend this workshop but be prepared to be a participant, not just an onlooker. And the final product was “muy bueno!”"
"Fun time, extensive workshop and a great trip to the market"
