Amazing experience! A must do during your visit to Antigua! - Unforgettable cultural and immersive Guatemalan experience! This is a must do in Antigua! Milton made us feel like locals. We started with a walk through the local Antigua market as he explained everything well and highlighted the local fresh fruits, produce and vendors. Then we took a “tuc tuc” to the cooking school, a charming house rooftop with incredible views. Milton’s passion for the culture and cooking shows in every detail and makes this experience very enjoyable and memorable. He taught us how to cook authentic Guatemalan food. We tasted some delicious local fruits as we cooked amazing food! It truly felt like visiting a local friend. This was the best way to end our Guatemala trip and we can’t wait to come back. Definitely recommend!

Intimate cooking class with delicious food - Milton brought us to the local market and told us about some of the native fruits and vegetables. He was able to explain some details about the market and the people who sell their items. The cooking class felt very authentic and the food was delicious!

One of the best authentic experiences in Antigua! - The visit to the market, ride in the TukTuk, and preparing an authentic meal over a wood burning griddle while watching a volcano erupt in the background is an experience I will never forget! Everything we ate and drank was exceptional! I highly recommend this tour.
