Authentic from scratch cooking class - Truly a must do when you’re in Antigua. First off they pick you up in a tuk tuk which is so fun. They were a tad late so don’t worry if they are a little behind. The tuk tuk was a blast! Then we went upstairs to our cooking area where we have a beautiful spread of ingredients and view of the mountain. The dishes we made were all from scratch and our instructor was so nice and fun. Everyone was given tasks and it was a great time.

Dreaming of this meal - This class was so much fun! I liked that we were only with a few other people so the host was able to really focus on everyone individually. It was nice learning the ways of Guatemalan cooking and the meal at the end was to die for. Definitely recommend!

Great experience with a view! - Cooking classes have become one of our favorite things to do when visiting other countries- it’s a great way to learn about the culture and food while making delicious local food. This was no exception, and we had a great time making local Guatemalan dishes- empanadas, Pepian, and a chocolate plantain dessert, with stunning views of the surrounding volcanoes

Fantastic experience. Best of our trip - Door to door service, with translation. Great locale with a view, everything very clean. We had choices about what to make and how spicy, and we made LOTS of dishes, all well explained and hands on, and they were ALL delicious. Super experience!!! My daughter is learning Spanish and it was so fun to learn new words. I’m an experienced cook and I learned some new things, too. Hats off to our guide Brandon and chef Alvaro, and the two taxi drivers who very punctually picked us up and dropped us off. Awesome.
