We had such a wonderful tour with Jorge to Alquezar and Laus winery,  with a delicious lunch in Alquezar!  We learned so much from him, and he was so attentive to our needs.   I wish I was there longer to go on more tours with him!

Our tour with Jorge was marvellous. He was so well informed, with excellent English. He was able to tell us many things along the way and pointed out things we would have missed. The ancient olive trees were beautiful and the story of the artisanal press fascinating. The tasting was also yummy.

The history of Belchite is very sad but Jorge’s understanding based on his own family’s experience was communicated gently and with appreciation of the pain of both sides. We learnt a great deal as well as enjoying the countryside in good company. Jorge also gave us an excellent recommendation for lunch afterwards.

This is well worth every penny.

Wonderful trip with sensitive and well informed guide
This was a brilliant trip. Jorge was so well informed, with excellent English and a thoughtful manner that really enhanced our trip. He also gave us an excellent lunch recommendation for afterwards.The process of olive oil extraction was fascinating and the trip around Belchite very informative. The history is heart breaking but very helpful to understand more of the situation of those most affected.

Excellent tour with a menu in a beautiful cooking studio
Jorge was a very good host. He immediately created a friendly atmosphere and led us through a market hall to buy fresh groceries for our menu. The food was excellent and we were able to learn quite a bit about the local culture. I can highly recommend this tour for a stay in Zaragoza.

Amazing cooking experience in Zaragoza! Thank you, Jorge!
Jorge was wonderful - very communicative and engaging! We met outside the mercado and got a brief overview of the city and its history. Then headed into the market where we were able to pick up some ingredients, while learning about the market and more about the ingredients that were on offer there. Then had a nice walk to the cooking school. There were about eight of us in total but it felt very intimate and we had an amazing time at the class. You will eat! Several different courses were made. Local cheese and bread. Tomato and garlic salad. Tortilla de patatas with onion. Lamb paella - we had never seen this before, and is a specialty of Jorge. Torrijas - WOW! All so delicious. Best we've had in Zaragoza! And now we know how to make them too! About 100 euro each, with taxes. Very good value for this cooking adventure. Make yourself available for about 3-4 hours. It will fly by. Please remember that although tipping is not generally necessary in Europe, this is one occasion where it makes sense. Side note: We were shocked that people left abruptly without talking with him - even for a quick thank you. This is expected in Spain, and seemed quite rude.

Jorge was a wonderful host, walking us through cooking an amazing meal!  We began our cooking class with a tour of the Mercado to pick up some items before heading to the school.  It was a great opportunity for him to share with us foods that are from this region.

The best was that the food was absolutely delicious!  Easy to replicate now that we know how.  This was far and away one of the best classes we have taken.  Thank you, Jorge!

What a fun experience! Marta is the best guide. Only the two of us, plus her, and we had a great time. She was very accommodating and always asked what we wanted to try. We learned a lot about tapas from her.

Don't book a package, go direct
I found the packages to be very expensive so booked direct with the winery and then got a taxi there. The one we chose was Grandes Vinos, about 40 mins outside of Zaragoza. Lovely guy, v knowledgable and we had cold meats and cheese to help our 5 wines go down. He recommended the taxi company which I'd also recommend.

Perfect tour and beautiful Alquézar
Our guide, Marta, was perfect—friendly, kind, punctual, knowledgeable, and a safe driver. I had wanted to visit Alquézar ever since seeing Casa Pardina Restaurante featured on a Japanese TV program for Spanish learners; I found this tour, but I was truly surprised to discover that lunch at Casa Pardina was actually included. Marta loved my story and introduced me to Ana—the chef who is also the mayor of Alquézar—and Ana was delighted to meet me, which made me so happy. It was a dream tour that perfectly satisfied my interests in language, history, and cuisine. I want to visit Alquézar and Zaragoza again—and see Marta and Ana again, too! Part of me wants to keep this tour a secret, but since reading other people's reviews gave me the confidence to book it myself, I decided to write this review!

Delightful Deliciousness Door to Door to Door.
I had a delightful evening! Marta was superb. She gave an excellent overview of Zaragoza and the food scene in the old part of the city. She was knowledgeable of the history, the culture and the foods. I especially loved her personality, her positive energy brought the small group on the tour to life. Marta was also careful to explain the types of foods we were tasting and she made sure that food allergies were not an issue for anyone. I feel that she arranged a perfect evening for the group. By the end of the evening the eight of us felt like we were old friends.

Fabulous evening discovering tapas and wine in Zaragoza
Marta was fabulous! Warm, chatty and knowledgeable. Made us feel completely at home in Zaragoza. The tapas bar selections were well made and the wine choices were superb. We had a ball! The only regret is that we did this near the end of our holiday. If we had done it at the beginning we would’ve had more of a clue when choosing our tapas earlier in the week!

Fantastic Experience
Jorge was an excellent guide for this cooking experience. He was welcoming and fluent in English, but we chose to speak Spanish for the duration of the tour. Jorge met me promptly in front of the market and he was able to tailor the tour to my liking. He explained the background of the market and the ingredients we were purchasing in an engaging manner. We took a short walk to the cooking space and Jorge shared some history of Zaragoza along the way. Preparing the regional food together in the kitchen was one of the highlights of my trip and everything we made turned out delicious. I appreciated that he shared the recipes with me afterwards. I highly recommend booking an experience with Jorge.

Do this tour - Marta is the best!
Marta made Zaragoza so memorable for us! She was very knowledgeable of the city, tapas, and wines, and had us try things we would not have tried on our own. I have allergies and my boyfriend is picky, and she customized tapas selections for us that were outside our comfort zone, but we very much enjoyed. I wish we stayed for more than one night!

Zaragoza is magical!
Marta was truly such a joy for us to spend the evening with. It was a random Thursday before a holiday weekend and it just ended up being us and Marta as they gear up for a busy few days. Marta was awesome to say the least. We learned so much about Zaragoza and it’s very interesting history. She entertained all our quirky history questions and took us to truly amazing tapas places. Everything we tried was delicious even those tapas that were outside of our normal “comfort zone.” Marta will not steer you wrong! So just trust and try! This was such a great way to learn about this beautiful city through a tour guide who you can tell is passionate about this area and is eager for us to gain that same appreciation. 100 stars for Marta! We highly encourage you to book this culinary experience.

It is hard to come up with superlatives to describe the four hours we spent with Jorge shopping for food and then using it to cook a delicious and authentic Aragonese lunch. We learned a lot about everything from Spanish produce to how to cook with an induction stove to tricks for crisping up the paella but we also had great conversations and ate like royalty. If we were to return to Zaragoza, we'd line up several of Rutica 41's tours both in and outside the city. Jorge and his team clearly care about what they're doing and are a credit to the city.

The day trip to Loarre Castle was excellently guided by Marta and is highly recommended.
The perfect organization, punctuality, and the many interesting historical explanations and information about the surrounding area are particularly noteworthy.
The pleasant drive and the shared lunch in a beautiful setting made the day unforgettable. Many, many thanks!

Jorge is an incredible travel guide filled with passion for food, wine, and Spain. Traveling with him through Zaragosa and Northern Spain for a few days was an incredible experience and he is a genuinely good soul. I'm happy to have met him and look forward to returning for more experiences. I recommend him with great enthusiasm.

Marta Piñeiro was our guide for two tours: the Monumental and Tapas tour in Zaragoza, and the Somontano Wine Excursion & Visit to Alquezar. In both cases, we were greatly impressed by Marta's grasp of the history of the region and her ability to present it in a cohesive manner. She is also extraordinarily delightful and our time was very well spent!

Excellent tour of Belchite
This was a wonderful tour of an olive oil facility and of the ruins of the town of Belchite, dating to the Spanish Civil War in 1938. The tour of the olive oil facility was interesting but the main draw for me was Belchite and the Civil War history. Jorge picked us up at the hotel along with another couple, and drove us to the tour locations. He was very interesting, knowledgeable, and personable. We very much enjoyed the day!

Awesome experience
Had a great time with Jorge, the friendly, knowledgeable guide. I was the only person at this class, and Jorge went out of his way to make the experience very memorable, taking me to the market, buying ingredients, and chatting with me about his life in Zaragoza and the culture of Spain. We made several dishes: a tapa with potato, jamon, and boreja (spelling? Almost a sort of spiny spinach); a paella with lamb and longanisa sausage; a tortilla Espanola with potato and onion; a tomato salad; and a torrija, or a French toast with cinnamon, orange and lemon zest, and milk. All the dishes were delicious, well-made, and I really learned a lot. I really enjoyed the experience. Both Zaragoza and Jorge are highly underrated--definitely sign up for a tour with him. It's a highlight of my trip so far.

No whining about this wine excursion
This was an incredible cultural experience! I am a non-drinker who partook on this special occasion with no regrets. We walked to four locations over the course of the tour, four places that I would never have otherwise discovered. I am unfamiliar with tapas which is why it was so helpful having a cultural guide. They were able to easily make adjustments to both the food and beverages based on the participants. The location that we met up at was central and easy to find. I would DEF do this again.

This was such a beautiful experience! It was just me on the day, but the guide Jorge made the day so comfortable and interesting. We shopped in the markets and then spent a few hours cooking up local dishes typical of Aragon. I can’t even pick a favourite, everything was delicious and easy to learn! Would definitely recommend for anyone - from the area or not, alone or in a group.

Authentic Spanish olive oil and civil war history experience
When I visited the olive oil press, they were in the middle of the harvest so I was able to see the collection and pressing of the olives first hand. I also had the pleasure of seeing the oldest olive tree in the region on a beautiful, secluded farm. However, the highlight of the trip was the old Belchite town. If you are interested in the history of the Spanish Civil War, this is something you need to see. Jorge, my tour guide, was excellent - he answered my (many) questions about the history of Spain and its current affairs. Highly recommended. Thank you!
