Authentic & fun cooking class! - Had an amazing experience during the cooking school. We made three different local dishes, and the chef described the gastronomy behind the ingredients and the importance to the locals. I’d never had any of the dishes before and they were all very tasty. I learned some techniques I can take home! Highly recommend when in Antigua

Authentic Guatemalan Food Class with a Vegan Twist - We had a wonderful time! I was one of 3 vegans attending the class. They created a menu for us that was authentic but respected our dietary requirements. The food was fantastic! This is a hands-on class where you prepare, cook and eat the meal. Our chef and his assistant were bothe kind and wonderful teachers. They spoke excellent English. I’m looking forward to trying these recipes when I return home.

Wonderful cooking class - We had a wonderful time during the cooking class! It was a very pleasant, relaxing, and interactive experience. Dario has a great sense for reading the group and really takes his time. You can ask him anything — he's not only knowledgeable, but also genuinely interested in his guests. Everything was beautifully presented, with cozy background music that added to the atmosphere. The terrace setting was absolutely lovely, with a warm, welcoming vibe and nice views. The food was delicious, and it was such a fun way to get a glimpse into Guatemalan cuisine — and life! Their driver brought us to and from the class safely and right on time, which made things very easy. Communication beforehand was also clear and smooth. Highly recommended!

Personalized, authentic experience - I had THE BEST time at this cooking class! It ended up being just me which made the class super unique. I’m vegan and everything was accommodated and the food was amazing!! The chefs were so wonderful and taught me new cooking skills, authentic Guatemalan recipes, and we talked about Guatemalan culture. The setting of the class was amazing on a beautiful rooftop and we enjoyed dinner together afterwards. Absolutely outstanding experience.
