Our take
It's Valencia's top-rated activity, and it's easy to see why: a class with a chef, the market included and the paella you cook as your meal, all for 65 €. With 4.97 out of 5 and over a thousand reviews, it's one of the safest bets in the catalogue. If you're only doing one experience in Valencia and you enjoy cooking, this is the one that best sums up the city: produce, farmland and rice.
