The Margarita Masterclass with Isaac was incredible! We went as a group of eight, and everyone had plenty of drinks and food – even after adding taxes and a tip, it was only about $33 per person. Isaac was super friendly, and he clearly had a passion for the drinks and spirits he was teaching us about. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun group activity!
