Best food in gautemala - The best! Amazing family, so welcoming and the food was the best we had in Gautemala. The location was great and easy drive from Guatemala city.

The Best Way to Experience Guatemalan Culture (and Food!) - This cooking class was more than just learning recipes – it was like being invited into a family's kitchen! The setting was so peaceful, and the family teaching us was incredibly kind. We made the most delicious food, and now I feel like I can finally bring a little bit of Guatemala back home with me. This was absolutely unforgettable!

Authentic and delicious - a must do - It was a very interesting and authentic cooking class and a lot of fun. We made everything from scratch, even the tortillas. And the Pepian and the dessert we made was delicious. Can 100% recommend it!

Worth every penny! - This was an incredible experience! It is as authentic as you can get, thank you Christina for inviting us into your home! The money for this experience goes back into the local community so please take the time to sign up! Thank you Axel for picking us up and interpreting!

Do it! It’s worth it. - All I did was book this class and they had everything else figured out. I wasn’t expecting a shuttle to pick us up or to have an interpreter for the class but it made all the difference. Cristina welcomed us into her home. She is an incredible cook and it was fun learning from her. Even if you aren’t a big fan of the Pepian (which was delicious in my opinion). It was a lot of fun watching Cristina cook and seeing how she works with what she has. Very eye opening. Amazing class.

Outstanding! - This was by far the best experience we had in Antigua. Our guide met us as arranged and took us on a brief tour/overview of the town square of Parramos before heading to a local family's home. There, we met the family matriarch, who explained what we would be cooking. Throughout the afternoon, we were free to ask many questions about her life and the way of life of other indigenous people in the area. Throughout this time our guide interpreted for us as needed. When the meal was finished cooking, we all sat down and enjoyed the best meal we've had in all of Central America! Highly Recommend!

Cooking with a local family - This really was a worthwhile experience. Our tour guide/translator was wonderful communicating where to meet us. I originally did not realize it was in a neighboring community I thought it was in Antigua. But was a short $5 Uber ride away. We met our tour guide, he was wonderful and friendly. I thought we would tour the town or a market but we went directly to the home where we would make dinner. Be prepared and I do not mean this in a negative way but you are making dinner in the home of a local Guatemalan family. The poverty is staggering. They are wonderful welcoming and kind. I felt somewhat uncomfortable however that may simply be my own guilt/privledge/fear of exploiting a family. We made an absolutely wonderful meal. However again uncomfortable knowing there was a multi generational family living there and only we were sitting to eat this meal normally reserved for weddings and special occasions. I left a hefty tip as I did with all my experiences in Guatemala. Every time I was able to put money directly into the hands of the local people I did. Overall I recommend. Have the right mindset and necessary conversations with families/children prior to the experience. My kids having traveled throughout Latin America were unfazed.

Amazing Experience - This class exceeded my groups expectations. We spent 3 hours with Janeth learning about her and working alongside her to cut vegetables, roast peppers over a wood stove, skin the chicken, make tortillas and more. The translator was thorough and we were able to ask all kinds of questions. We even had a short tour of the town square and market before the class.

An amazing experience - go do it! - We had such a great time doing this yesterday. HIGHLY recommend this experience. Our instructor, Janeth, was very kind and showed us every single step. It is a complicated dish and there were a lot of steps but we were able to do it all alongside her and we learned a lot about Guatemalan culture along the way. You also learn how to make your own tortillas. You will love this experience.

MUST DO!! - Was the most amazing experience. Lovely family and translator. Delicious food!!!! Cool kitchen very traditional worth every penny. So fun
