Chef Jesús was amazing. We loved the market tour, trying out the different fruit, chocolate, bread, etc. The entire experience is one that we will never forget. It is incredible value for the amount of food and drinks you get, and learning how to make it all!! I will be making pisco sours and ceviche at home now!! We all had the best time and would do it again!.
