Best experience in Cabo
Mary_L, October 2026
Karina was an amazing hostess who gave us a wonderful history of Cacao and Mole as well as a tasting. You can tell that she and her family love people, their familia, and their guests. From the class, the shopping at the market and the warm tortillas at the tortilla factory, it was an amazing experience. Chef Issy(sp?) brought us to his house to prepare a glorious feast including hand made margaritas (I will never use margarita mix again!) and a good time was had by all. This was the best experience and we will definitely do this again next time. I can not recommend this enough. Also, it was very clean/sanitary with plenty of opportunities for hand washing/washroom. Our new friends from the tour group were so much fun. Do it!

Food shopping allowed us...
Barbara_W, October 2026
Food shopping allowed us to experience the culture more closely. And to prepare and cook the food we shopped for was amazing. The food was delicious. The presenters were knowledgeable and made the class interesting
