I did a tour with Tatan and it was truly exceptional. He guided us through the market, introducing us to incredible local ingredients and flavors, and then welcomed us into his beautiful apartment for an unforgettable meal. The food was absolutely amazing—thoughtfully prepared, authentic, and delicious—and what made it even more special was that he shared the recipes with us so we can recreate everything at home. Tatan himself made the entire experience—so warm, knowledgeable, and passionate. It was easily one of the highlights of the trip.

Loved every minute of this tour. Cristian is so knowledgeable and made a fascinating tour of the markets, teaching us to select the freshest products, chatting with the stall holders. He is a wonderful host. Once we got to his apartment it was a fantastic cooking experience, we learned a lot. This was the second tour I’ve done with Cristian and would highly recommend for anyone visiting Santiago!

On our last day in Santiago, we could not have hoped for a more special experience. Cristian was a charming and knowledgeable host and guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our market experience and then it was topped by the delicious food which we sort of helped to prepare. If we are ever back in Santiago, we would experience this all over again! Gracias, Chef Tatan!
