Favourite activity - This was my absolute favourite activity during my time in Guatemala. I think I was super lucky with the group of people doing this with me also. But our guide during the market tour was informative and friendly. We were given ample time to explore and to ask questions.. we even got to try some of the local fruits. And the cooking portion??? Phenomenal! The food was delicious, the views were spectacular and the ambience was to die for. The delicious wine before, during and after dinner was also a nice touch. I would totally do this again if given the opportunity. Thanks for the amazing experience!

Incredible experience- a must-do! in Anigua - We loved this activity, and it was one of my favorite parts of the trip to Guatemala. Ebbher gave us a fantastic tour of the market and taught us all about Guatemalan food and culture. The cooking class was fantastic. The chef was so kind and welcoming and her daughter was lovely and taught us as well. We learned more about the food in Guatemala, ate delicious fruits we bought from the market and enjoyed cooking a three course meal with traditional dishes. I highly recommend doing this if you have the chance, and I would definitely do it again.

Delicious Guatemalan Food - A very authentic Guatemala cooking experience. After a trip to a open air market to buy fruit, vegetables, and meat for our class. Once we arrived at the cooking school we were able to have a hands on experience to make the wonderful cuisine of the area. Our host Dario was very friendly and an amazing chef. I would do this experience again, and I would recommend it to anyone.

The best thing we've done in Antigua! - This was one of the best experiences we had on our whole trip across Guatemala, Belize, and Mexico (and much better than the cooking class we did in Oaxaca). Darius was a great guide, friendly and entertaining and it was so interesting to see the market. We cooked in a beautiful roof terrace with views of the volcano and all the food was delicious. We would highly recommend Cuscun to anyone visiting Antigua.

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.
