Class, tasting, food and drinks are included at €70 per person. Evening and Sunday sessions skip the market, which is closed then. In our comparison: #1 of 9 in Paella Cooking Classes, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Valencia is the birthplace of the world-famous paella - from the market to your plate, learn step-by-step how to make this traditional dish! First, your local guide will take you to visit Mercado Central de Valencia - Europe's largest food market. Here, you'll buy your fresh ingredients. For evening tours and tours on Sunday, the Central Market is closed so we will skip this step and go straight to the cooking! You’ll then go to the paella kitchen for a live paella workshop with a professional chef. Follow along step-by-step at your own cooking station and learn the local tips and tricks of what makes this dish so special. After the class, sit back and enjoy some local tapas, wine and, of course, your very own paella. Your paella cooking class Valencia finishes with a sweet treat before returning to the meeting point accompanied by the guide. ## Before you book - Meeting point: We will meet in front of Covetes de los… - 5 start times: between 10:00 and 18:00 - Food included: Wine Tasting, Food and Beverages - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €70 per person for the Paella Cooking Class option; other options up to €75 - Duration: 4h - Rating: 4.99/5 from 1994 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Sea Saffron - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 10:00, 10:30, 13:30, 14:00, 18:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-03 ## Reviews 4.99 from 1994 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 1992 of 1994. - 5 stars: 1980 (99%) - 4 stars: 12 (1%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 2 (0%) ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Paella Cooking Class | €70 / person | English | Paella Cooking Class | | Market & Paella Cooking Class | €75 / person | English | Market & Paella Cooking Class | ## What's included - Paella Cooking Class - Wine Tasting - Central Market Visit - Food and Beverages - Paella ingredients and equipment ## Not included - Personal Purchases ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 10:00, 10:30, 13:30, 14:00, 18:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-03 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point We will meet in front of Covetes de los Santos Juanos, Plaza de Mercat 7.
