An enjoyable experience in Cartagena - Touring the local market with Maria before doing the cooking class. Maria did an excellent job showing us how to make a couple local dishes that tasted delicious. The facilities and staff were very friendly and helpful.

Fun and delicious experience - Had a fantastic cooking school experience with chef Daniel at Lunático experience. I booked through viator but other students said they found it on Airbnb experiences.
As a solo traveler it was a great way to meet people. Daniel was very informative about Colombia and comida and taught us how to make 4 different ceviches (the class I chose). We had a lot of fun working together and even ended up going out to a bar together after.

Solo Traveler - Maximum Fun - I signed up for the ceviche making class with Chef Daniel. He is truly one of a kind with so much experience from his world travels. We were able to share stories about our travels while we cooked our way through the menu of four cheviches. So delicious and I had a bonus lesson in learning local Spanish words to help me as I navigated Cartagena! Loved this experience - excellent instruction, learned new skills/cuisine, and had fun. Highly recommend!

Great Colombian cooking class - Our group had an amazing experience with Daniel for our cooking class in Cartagena. He took us to the local market, where we sampled local fruit. The cooking class itself was interesting and fun! We made four different types of Colombian ceviches, and shared them together! I would definitely recommend this experience if you’re looking for a way to immerse yourself in the local culture and fill your belly with delicious food.

Perfectly Delicious Monday morning - This experience was booked almost last minute and I am very pleased I booked! Jazmíne and her sous chefs were professional yet warm and hospitable. I really enjoyed how much they enjoyed sharing their culture with me.
I loved being able to be hands on in preparing our meal. I appreciate the flexibility of the chef to accommodate my request for fish instead of beef. Also, we got the recipes within a day of class. I have already recommended this experience to someone else.

Fun, educational, and tasty! - We really enjoyed this experience. We learned a lot about Colombian cuisine, got to pitch in on making a delicious meal (we know how to open a coconut now!), and then got to enjoy the very tasty food for lunch. Everyone was so friendly, we would definitely recommend!
