Don’t miss this unique Guatemalan experience! - Amazing experience! I learned a lot from Milton, not only about Guatemalan cooking and local ingredients, but also about the history and culture of Antigua. The food we prepared was delicious and the pace of the class was perfect whether you’re a novice cook or advanced chef!

Authentic Overload Best Experience - This is sure to be the most authentic experience and totally worth the time. The market experience almost requires a guide. The tuc tuc was a hysterical. And the kitchen was pure joy. But the culture and the food we prepared was the very best. Thank you Milton and Andrea for this amazing experience I will never forget!

A must try! - I had such a wonderful experience with my friends! Milton and his sister Andrea made us feel safe and comfortable throughout. Milton guided us through the market and taught us to cook an authentic Guatemalan dish, appetizer, and dessert. It was a fantastic way to truly understand and immerse ourselves in the culture. I highly recommend this experience!

Wonderful experience! - I had a wonderful experience here with Milton and my friends. We were lead through a local market and got to see all the different kinds of ingredients used to make Guatemalan dishes. Then we were able to prepare the dishes ourselves with the help of Milton and Andrea. We got to experience the Guatemalan culture through food. What's better than that?! It was truly beautiful. I recommend this to everyone.

Don't leave Antigua without taking this class! Wonderful. - We spent six days in Antigua, and this was one of the highlights of our trip!! If you are interested in Guatemalan food and culture, this is the experience for you. Milton was incredibly communicative and helpful throughout booking our cooking class and meeting us in Antigua. Throughout the tour, his energy, passion, and creativity really shined. I loved the opportunity to walk through the market with an expert guide, who took the time to answer all of our questions, point out interesting items, share his favorite food stalls and vendors, and even purchase unique fruits for us to try! Back at his house, we felt like family as we cooked and chatted on his gorgeous rooftop. We learned his family recipes and quite a few cutting techniques that I will be taking back with me. He even organized a tuk tuk for us back to our hotel, which was a fun experience we had not tried on our own yet! Book this experience! And do it early in your trip. It is a great introduction to Antigua, and you will have quite a few recommendations you will want to try on the rest of your trip.
