Cooking with New Friends - We had an amazing experience. The market was very informative about the culture and religious practices. The cooking class was simple and welcoming. We felt like we were cooking and eating with friends. The food we made and ate was authentic and delicious. Amazing experience and highly recommended.

Fabulous evening of cooking and fun - We had the most incredible experience on this tour from beginning to end - we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The best part of the tour was Dario our guide. He was knowledgeable, entertaining and great fun. He took us through the market and taught us about various fruits and herbs and local cuisine, and we had a wonderful time exploring the market. When we were done we headed to the cooking school. It was incredibly well organized. Victor was there preparing everything in advance and we had the most fabulous evening of laughter and cooking - we ate so much and we tried many different local dishes- we cooked and learned a lot from Dario. He handled the whole experience so well and I thoroughly enjoyed him as a tour guide and I’m very grateful for his efforts and his time and all his hard work to make our evening extra special. I highly recommend this tour for anybody who is considering it we would do it again in a second.

Fun if you like cooking good food. - We like cooking, so this was a great day of cooking, and then eating a bunch of different Guatemalan dishes. The hosts were very welcoming. The rooftop kitchen was great with volcano views. Had some wine too.

Our favorite home cooked Guatemalan meal - We really enjoyed our walk through the market before participating in the preparation of a typical Guatemalan meal. The meal was catered to our preferences and we loved sitting down to share a meal with our new Guatemalan friends.

Fun and Educational Cooking Class - Met Chef Dario and he gave us an informative and interesting tour of the market, learning of the various fruits & vegetables of Guatemala. Chef Dario and Susie were perfect hosts. The class was fun. The food we prepared was great. It helped that the size of the class was small, and Tracy, the only other participant in the class (aside from my husband and myself), was very friendly. We highly recommend this Cuscun Cooking class with Chef Dario.

Wonderful way to be introduced to a new culture - Our guide/chef Dario was great. Welcoming, gave a good and useful market tour. We had a blast prepping and cooking on the rooftop with some wonderful views and better company. Food was all delicious. Thank you!

Don’t think about it, just do it! - We had Dario as our guide and chef. He was fantastic! Very informative, personable, and had such a great sense of humor. This was one of our favorite experiences in Guatemala - 10/10 recommend. The food we made was amazing and to be able to sit and eat it as a group was something I’ll never forget.
