      Excellent!
      We had an amazing experience learning how to cook Paella Valenciana (you can also choose Vegetarian Paella or Arroz del Senyoret) in this fantastic class. It started with delicious appetizers that really set the tone for the day, followed by a great selection of wines for tasting, perfectly paired with the meal. The group was super fun and lively, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We had such a great time learning and cooking together, and the balance of learning and laughter made it truly memorable. The kitchen was modern and fully equipped, making it easy to follow the chef’s instructions, and the location, right in the heart of Valencia’s old town, was perfect—an ideal spot to spend the day. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience in a charming space, and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to dive into Spanish cuisine!

      Paella Workshop in Valencia - A Fantastic Experience!
      We had an amazing time at the Paella workshop in Valencia! The whole experience was incredibly welcoming, and the explanations from the chef, Dani, were clear and easy to follow. Emma, our host, made sure everything ran smoothly and created a warm, friendly atmosphere. We attended the workshop with our two children and chose to make the seafood paella. It was an enjoyable and interactive activity for the whole family. Throughout the session, we were treated to delicious wines and snacks, which added to the experience. The meeting point was easy to find, and we were warmly welcomed upon arrival. The guided tour of the local market was a great touch and added authenticity to the experience. The workshop ended on a high note, with everyone coming together to enjoy the paella we made. Overall, it was a fantastic and well-organized workshop that we highly recommend to anyone visiting Valencia!

      Great experience
      We took part in the paella cooking workshop as a group of 10 people and prepared 4 paellas (2 seafood and 2 traditional paellas). The hosts Emma and Daniel were very friendly and explained everything to us in detail. It was great fun preparing the paellas and then eating them together. A great experience, which we are very pleased to recommend. @ Emma and Daniel: Thank you very much for the great event

      The best paella class in Valencia!
      What an amazing experience this was! Emma and Danni were so friendly and full of information about Valencia, paellas and much more. We had a lovely time cooking our own paella and with the help of Danni it turned out delicious 🩷 our 8 year old absolutely enjoyed the experience as well and we all felt very welcome. Starter gazpacho was delicious as well! And I loved the dessert too! Don't hesitate to book Paella cooking class with Emma! You won't regret it!

      Cooking on a Monday
      We enjoyed a late afternoon session with Emma and Dani and one additional couple. Emma was a wonderful host who shared the history of Valencia and it's cuisine. She kept us entertained during the entire experience and shared her local favorites for food, drink, and adventure. Dani was a great teacher. He professionally explained the overall process of cooking paella and then provided specific tips for our individual paella. It was a great way to spend a Monday evening in Valencia.

      Highly recommend - local wines and food in a beautiful restaurant
      Really enjoyed the tour. The walking around the historic center in the evening when cooler was nice and Sharin was a great host. The highlight is the wine tasting and local food. Enjoyed the local wines and food. The rest of the group also was very sociable and enjoyed meeting new people. Highly recommend

      Superb
      We thoroughly enjoyed learning how to cook an authentic paella from a professional chef. The whole experience was of the highest quality - the location was in a bespoke modern and cooking school with a private kitchen and dining area. A wide range of preprandial drinks and tapas were provided - throughout the evening we sampled four different local wines. The setting for our meal was superb in a private dinning room. Emma was an excellent hostess and Danny a brilliant cook. Both were friendly and full of local information about cookery and wine.

      Must do in Valencia
      Signed up for Paella cooking class as keen learn some local tricks from Valencian chef. In this case Danny. Started the day with Emma who was prompt and welcoming. Walked through town to Market Central to have some ingredients to pick ul. Emma also enlightened the group on local points of interest along the way and in the market. Michelin Star chef owns restaurant in market, sails, eels, rabbit, horse meat to name a few. We picked up some swordfish and headed back to kitchen to commence cooking class. This class started with a beautiful Cava and nibbles. Emma kept a steady supply of local treats and wine flowing throughout the cook. Thanks Emma. Danny was our chef and we were hands on. Danny talked us through the different techniques and Paella secrets. It was great that we were able to complete the cooking ourselves with tuition from Danny. Excellent class with great information from both Emma and Danny. Would recommend combining the cooking class with walking tour. Favoutite experience in Valencia, highly recommend. Paella turned out great and was enjoyed by participants, also was given a local desert and late harvest wine. Option to choose Paella, we went with seafood.

      Fun & delicious experience
      We did the paella cooking class for a friends birthday and it was a fantastic experience! Daniel was a great teacher who explained everything very clearly, but also let us have fun with it, and helped us to make some really delicious paella. I'd definitely do it again and recommend it to both visitors and people living in Valencia.

      Amazing Veggie Paella Experience with Friends
      This was an incredible evening! We had a large group and made two regular paellas and one vegetarian one. It was really interesting to learn about the rich history of Paella and its origins! The chef was incredible and went out of his way to make sure we were all having a great time and of course, making the most perfect paellas. Thank you for such a fun evening!

      The best night and best paella in Valencia
      One of the best nights I’ve had in València. Such a wonderful idea to have fun with friends and make new ones. I’ve eaten quite a few paellas in the past and I would say that, finally cooking one, ours was the best! (Daniel the chef/teacher did help a lot! - he was a fantastic host, warm and attentive, with a number of great tips and information about paella, and he always kept an eye on everything if we got distracted popping for a glass of wine!) Would highly recommend!

      Best birthday plan!
      I celebrated my birthday with this Paella cooking class and it was the best! We were a group of 12 and Daniel helped us cook both the classic paella and a veggie paella. He made everything so much fun and went the extra mile to make sure everyone’s paella turned out great. Then we sat down to enjoy it with wines and snacks in the beautiful venue. Couldn’t have asked for a better party! Thank you!

      The best experience ever!
      We had the most amazing time with Emma, Tuathla and Danny. It started with a really knowledgable and fun trip to the market. They both had really good insight into the culture and history of Valencia and really made us feel at ease from the very beginning. We picked up ingredients for our seafood paella and went to an excellent location to prepare it a few streets away in the centre. Chef Dani was attentive and informative from the outset. He guided us to successfully make an excellent paella. Throughout this experience, the girls were providing us with alcoholic drinks snacks and water - by the B end of the experience, we had tried local cured meats, gazpacho, nuts and olives and various different wines, all which the girls were very knowledgeable about. They made our sit down meal feel like a very special occasion and we couldn’t recommend this experience enough. This is an experience not to be missed if you are in Valencia!

    I was only in Valencia for a few days so wanted to book a tour to get a feel of the Old city and the culture so decided to book this tour. I am by no means a history buff or a wine connoisseur but I had an exceptional experience and got to meet some really great people on my tour. Daniel really looked after all of us (there was a mixture of ages and knowledges) and went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Valencia and wants a whistle-stop tour of the Old City and amazing food and wine - this was an absolute bargain!

    The tour is roughly one hour which covers the best parts of the city without going into too much detail like some other tours.

    The tapas and wine afterwards is in a beautiful location and Inga was great at explaining the dishes and wines. We left with full bellies and feeling very happy.

    I would really recommend this as a great way to spend a day in Valencia - way more enjoyable and relaxed than a typical tour.

    My husband and I took advantage of this Old Town tour and tapas dinner. Our tour guide Paula was very knowledgeable and we learned so much about the city of Valencia. The 10 course dinner and wine and was delicious. The price was extremely reasonable for what was offered and was one of favorite evenings in Valencia. It was especially fun getting to know the others on our tour and enjoying dinner with everyone.

    We had an absolutely fantastic morning with our guide Sofi. She was very punctual and knowledgeable; she even kept her cool with us bunch of noisy ladies and our random wanderings off into shops! The area where the wine and tapas took place was beautiful (and historical), and we could not have asked for me. Fab tapas and local wines and dietary needs were well taken care of. All in all, money well spent and would highly recommend.

    Our host Eduardo was charming; walking through the Old Town we discovered unknown corners of the city which made the tour very enjoyable. Then, we went to the Historic Wall where the whole team had prepared an exquisite and wonderful dinner for us. I was really impressed with the selection of appetizers and main dishes and the pairing of excellent wines, but above all the cosy, unique and historic background where we shared the experience really made for a top night and an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much to the Sea Saffron team.

    Sophia conducted our walking tour of Old Town and our wine and tapas tasting. This was my favorite day in Valencia! Sophia shared her extensive knowledge of the history and culture of Valencia. Her family has been residents of the city since the 13th century so she had many intriguing stories to share. We visited many interesting spots including the narrowest building in Europe, St. Nicolas church, the last remaing Moorish wall, and more. The tapas were very flavorful and artfully presented. The Valencian wine paired perfectly with the food. When we return to Valencia, we will definitely take another tour with Sea Saffron.

    The first thing I should highlight is the hidden treasure found when opening the doors of La Muralla, a secret and fascinating place. To end the year in the best way possible, and as a recommendation from a friend, we decided to celebrate our Christmas event here. Expectations were already high but they were totally exceeded! We were so impressed by the patio area, spacious and illuminated by sunset, framed by the historic Valencian wall. The dinner was impeccably served and of a very high quality. The wines were carefully paired to the dinner in question. We were 10 people, ideal for group events in the old town.

    This experience was the highlight of our stay in Valencia. From beginning to end this tour deserved 10 stars. The staff got into contact with us immediately after booking to confirm the reservation and check to see if we had any dietary restrictions. Our tour guide, Sofia, was warm, friendly, and very informative. We were very impressed with her knowledge of the history of Valencia. She took our small group around the city center and pointed out pieces of history that we would never noticed on our own. My wife, who was on the tour, used to live in Valencia for several years and learned things that she never knew before.

    After the walking portion of the tour, we had the tapas and wine experience next to one of the last remaining portions of a historic city wall. This location was in a beautiful private location for our group only, which included a private indoor and outdoor sitting area. The food and beverages were delicious, and Sofia was very knowledgeable about speciality cuisines in Valencia and taught us everything we need to know about ordering and eating local cuisines, especially the rules of paella.

    After the tour, Sofia emailed us a long list of places to eat and things to do in Valencia. The restaurants recommendations we have tried so far have been wonderful.

    Overall, this experience is a must do while visiting Valencia and nobody should hesitate to book this luxurious tour.

    We loved this half-day tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Valencia. Our tour guide, Dani, made contact before the tour to make sure we knew where to meet. Dani was really knowledgeable and gave us lots of facts about the history of the city, and lots of fun stories too. The tour is in English but Dani also spoke in Spanish to one member of the group who didn't speak English The walking tour was about 1hr 20-30 minutes and took in important buildings in the old town, including the Central Market before heading to St Nicholas' church. After, we were taken to an amazing little venue for the tapas and wine. Each food course and wine was explained by Dani. It was all delicious! I was really impressed with how much was included. There were options for those with specific dietary requirements. We're really glad we booked onto this tour. It would be a good thing to do at the start of any trip to Valencia to take in some of the key sites and get familiar with the city. We attended this tour in May 2022 as a couple. Thank you Dani!

    Sharin had great communication before the trip, was an excellent tour guide, kept us as cool as she could (in
    the Valencian summer heat!😆) and showed us some hidden gems. The food and drink section was phenomenal: the history of each dish was shared during each course. The food was delicious, the wine was paired beautifully. Our glasses were never empty and the dishes were incredibly filling (I felt definite food coma-ness towards the end). The bar was air conditioned, quiet and incredibly clean/stylish. This is a day I strongly recommend if you want to make some new friends, explore the city, eat some great food and drink delicious wine.
