    Lovely experience with gracious hosts! Highly recommend!

    Mariela greeted us warmly and welcomed us into her home, which already smelled delicious. We had a traditional Argentinian beverage before heading out for a neighborhood walk to the local bakery, deli and Mercado to purchase items for our lunch. The meat and vegetables were prepared very well and plated in an appealing manner. Dessert and traditional mate made for an enjoyable end to a lingering lunch. One BA experience not to miss. Being in a home and not in a cooking school made all the difference to a unique experience.

    Response from the operator: Dear Anne, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your private local shop tour and Argentine cooking class with Mariela was such a memorable and immersive Buenos Aires experience. Mariela’s hospitality and passion for Argentine cuisine make every cooking class unique, from shopping at local markets to preparing traditional dishes and enjoying a leisurely meal with authentic mate. Experiences like this, hosted in a home rather than a cooking school, truly showcase the flavors and culture of Buenos Aires. We hope to welcome you again for another authentic Traveling Spoon cooking experience in Buenos Aires or anywhere else around the world! Warm regards, Cherry

    Buenos Aires Market Tour & Argentinean Cooking Class with Mariela: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.

    How much does Buenos Aires Market Tour & Argentinean Cooking Class with Mariela cost?

    +

    Prices start at $149 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Buenos Aires usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Buenos Aires Market Tour & Argentinean Cooking Class with Mariela take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Buenos Aires is not rushed.

    Is Buenos Aires Market Tour & Argentinean Cooking Class with Mariela worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Buenos Aires, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Buenos Aires Market Tour & Argentinean Cooking Class with Mariela?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Buenos Aires Market Tour & Argentinean Cooking Class with Mariela suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Buenos Aires Market Tour & Argentinean Cooking Class with Mariela?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Buenos Aires can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Buenos Aires and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Buenos Aires Market Tour & Argentinean Cooking Class with Mariela start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Buenos Aires within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Buenos Aires?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Buenos Aires experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Argentine Cooking, Wine & Beef Tasting at Argentine Experience, Historical Sherpa Food Tour of San Telmo with Street Food, Drinks, Cooking Class with Empanadas Steak & Flan by Argentine Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Buenos Aires?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Buenos Aires?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Buenos Aires Market Tour & Argentinean Cooking Class with Mariela?

    +

    Included: Local alcohol (1-2 glasses); Optional: Local market tour; and Private Argentine Cooking Class & Meal with Mariela. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Buenos Aires Market Tour & Argentinean Cooking Class with Mariela?

    +

    Please meet your host Mariela at her home in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires. Exact address can be found in the "Before you go" section of your ticket upon booking confirmation. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Buenos Aires Market Tour & Argentinean Cooking Class with Mariela offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Buenos Aires Market Tour & Argentinean Cooking Class with Mariela?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Buenos Aires Market Tour & Argentinean Cooking Class with Mariela wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Buenos Aires Market Tour & Argentinean Cooking Class with Mariela if the weather is bad?

    +
