Wonderful experience! - The crew was excellent the other ppl was nice and the food tasted good. I had been trying to make plantains and never got it right and to my luck they put me in charge of making the plantains so I finally got it. Overall a wonderful experience

Must do while in Antigua - I participated in the cooking class while I was visiting Antigua. The cooking class was great; I really enjoyed it. Dario was very good at delegating tasks and explaining what we were doing and going to cook. The food was delicious, and I would recommend this class to anyone visiting Guatemala.

Cooking class - The experience was amazing! We booked a 4pm class and it ended up being just our group. They had a shuttle pick us up from our hotel. Since we didn’t speak Spanish, Lorena explained everything to us in english and Belen, the chef, demonstrated everything to us. They were very kind and so very welcoming. They even got me and my friend a little cake too since it was our birthday week and they sang us happy birthday. They were very accommodating of my dietary restrictions (vegetarian). Overall, such a personalized familial time. And the 3 course meal? Amazing! Highly highly recommend!

Amazing food and even more amazing staff!! - This class was a 10/10, from start to finish! All the staff were friendly and welcoming, it felt like a hang out with friends, the chef Belen & the hostess Lorena were so fun to be around and made this a night to remember. If you’re looking for a more personable experience this is the place! The food was also delicious and the views were amazing but the best part was the people. My friends and I ended up being the only ones in the class which helped and they even sang my sister happy birthday and brought out cake. I can’t recommend this place enough !! It’s DEFINITELY worth it !!

Great cooking class! - A friend and I decided to take a cooking class and I am so happy we chose this one. The school arranged a tuc tuc to pick us up at our hotel, and it was only a short drive. There was a translator and one woman was the primary cook, showing us how to prepare a cocktail, appetizer, main course and dessert. We prepared the meal upstairs and ate the food in the adjacent rooftop area which had a terrific view. The women were so friendly and skilled. I would highly recommend this class at Cuscun.
