We had a fantastic time... - We had a fantastic time at Cuscun Cooking School in Antigua! The space was clean, beautiful, and well-organized. Our host and chef were friendly and knowledgeable, involving us in every step of the cooking. Afterward, we enjoyed a family-style dinner in their garden with delicious Chilean red wine and non-alcoholic drinks. It was a warm, welcoming experience shared with other travelers — and great for our 10- and 13-year-old kids too. Highly recommend!

Spectacular - Spend a fun and cute cooking experience with Bethlehem and Susi in Cuscun! Cooking on the terrace with a beautiful view, drinking wine and cooking typical Guatemalan food was spectacular. Thank you!

Dario & Cuscun Cooking is the best! - Dario & Carina hosted an amazing cooking class. We learned so much about authentic Guatemalan cooking. My wife & I have taken cooking classes all over Europe and Central America. This one was the very best cooking class yet. Dario was so knowledgeable, so kind, and so funny. His English was excellent. Carina was great help too. We can’t wait to take another class with Dario & Carina.

Incredible family cooking class in Antigua - Absolutely incredible cooking class. We had so much fun drinking wine and learning to cook. We made so many new friends and learned so many new recipes. The chef and translator were absolutely superb and made us feel like we were part of the family. Couldn’t ask for a better activity in Antigua and an unforgettable experience!!!

Simply incredible Guatemalan gastronomy experience. - This is simply the greatest culinary experience I have been on (and I’ve been on many in my travels). A historic culinary experience of Guatemalan (Mayan) gastronomy. You are doing the real cooking from beginning to end in a delicious three course meal with incredible side additions. The setting is absolutely beautiful and the company of Pampa and Chef Belen may have been my favorite part. I cannot wait to recreate this meal when I get home. Many thanks to Cuscun for a memorable experience.

Nice workshop; enjoyed it better last year. - This was our second time to the Cuscun cooking class. Last year we went to their other location which is smaller, and felt more intimate. Because of the large size group we were not picked up at our hotel. We were dropped off up on completion. We prepared the same dishes as last year. We had a group of 11 which made it difficult to keep track of the steps involving the cooking, and I think the final product was not as good as last year. Regardless, the workskop was fun and the wine was ample. We were told at the end of the class and we could have requested the original location. If we had known this we would have.
