Fantastic Experience - A fantastic experience! It was only my daughter and I so we had lots of help from Dario, our amazing chef, and two beautiful ladies that work with him. Rooftop kitchen is gorgeous. Food was delicious. We had such an amazing time cooking and laughing and creating sweet memories!

A highlight of our trip to Guatemala - We had a fun time as a family preparing the meal (youngest was 14), which I expected. I was surprised that this meal was actually the best one we enjoyed on our whole trip!

Fantastic tour! - What a fantastic tour this was! First to the local market to do some shopping and try local delicacies. The guide is very concerned with whether the food is ‘safe’ for tourists and he won’t let you eat anything he isn’t sure is properly prepared. Then you will get to work in the cooking school itself with cozy Spanish music, wine and soft drinks, views of the volcanoes while preparing local food. The food was delicious and the chef was also very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend this tour!

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!
