Highly Recommend! (+Family Friendly) - This was an amazing experience! It was a bit awkward at the beginning because this class consisted of strangers, but honestly that was the best part of this experience. Meeting new people, having fun, it's feels like a family dinner! We had Darío for the market tour portion, who is absolutely lovely ( he taught us a lot about Guatemala). This is easily the best part of my trip so far, I cannot explain enough how much I recommend this experience.

Highly recommended! - Had the best time here starting off our trip! I highly recommend this especially at the beginning of your trip so you can learn more about the local culture. You'll enjoy a very nice family-style dinner at the end with other visitors.

Must do in Antigua - A must do experience if you’re in Antigua. The food that we made tasted better than the one found in restaurant. The cooking classes were organized. Alvaro made us all comfortable and kept the event engaging.

Amazing Class! - We had Dario as our guide and chef for the class and he was fantastic! Super knowledgable in the market tour. My husband and I had our two young kids with us and he was so patient and accommodating with them! He found cooking activities for my son to help with (like mixing the tortilla mix), and once we were at the cooking school found toys to help keep the kids entertained during the class. The food was delicious and he made the class very fun, welcoming, and intimate. So happy we got to have this experience and a huge shout out and thank you to Dario!

10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ amazing tour - Cannot recommend this tour enough! Marlon was an amazing guide and chef. He has worked in several restaurants and was excited to share Guatemalan cuisine with me. We cooked on a beautiful rooftop terrace with views of the surrounding mountains and volcanos. The food was such a great way to learn more about Mayan and Guatemalan cuisine and I appreciated all the insight Marlon shared about the history and Ingredients. He was also kind enough to help me practice my very broken Spanish by helping me learn new Spanish words 🩷

Cooking with Cuscun - My partner and I loved the ability to have a personalized tour with Dario. He was patient, humorous, and charismatic and very willing to answer all our questions about produce, animals, and cooking. We made a delicious jocon, practiced our Spanish, and enjoyed seeing new views outside of just exploring Antigua.

Couple experience - We happened to be the only two people on this tour, which made it an amazing and intimate experience. Our tour guide Dario expertly adjusted the vibe of the tour by making it more friendly rather than a "tour" per se, and we ended up enjoying lots of hours getting to know each other and Antigua & Guatemala. The food we made actually ended up being very tasty as well, and we greatly appreciated the experience this added to our time. Highly recommend!
