We don't usually do group travel, but the experiences on this trip were too good to miss. The cooking classes were amazing with lots of variety, so we never got bored (even though we're not "chefs"). We hit most of the notable city highlights as well making this a very well-rounded trip. Traveling with the group was a very enjoyable experience, with a great mix of scheduled time & personal time. I would definitely travel with The Effortless Kitchen again. I highly recommend it.
