Must do experience in Antigua! - Cooking with Milton was the highlight of our trip! The market tour was an amazing way to start the experience. We loved being able to see the freshness and quality of the ingredients we were going to cook with, while also learning about the cultural and economic significance the market has in Antigua. We also really enjoyed cooking at Milton’s home. He’s done an amazing job with the setup - it’s very inviting and intimate. Everything we made was so delicious! Dont hesitate to book this experience if you want to cook in Antigua. It’s so unique compared to the other experiences offered and it’s so wonderfully thought out. You won’t regret it!

Best experience. - If you are travelling to Antigua, this is an experience you should definitely recommend! It was a wonderful experience to experience Guatemalan culture firsthand. We made 5 traditional dishes using fresh local ingredients and under the careful guidance of the chef, and they were all very good! One of the things that left a particular impression on me was the tasting of rare local fruits. I was able to taste a number of fruits that I didn't even know their names, and felt the rich nature of Guatemala. It's a great experience for both travel memories and learning!

Great Experience and Great Food! - We had a great time with Milton - starting in the central market which had a wonderful array of fruits, vegetables and spices. We then headed to the rooftop kitchen to prepare our meal. Milton was fantastic at walking us through the dishes and we learnt a couple of tricks along the way. The food was delicious! Highly recommend to anyone that enjoys exploring local cuisine!

unique experencie - We had such a great time at the food cooking class and market visit! The walk through a local market it was super interesting to see all the fresh produce, herbs, and spices. Milton was really friendly and explained what everything was, how it’s used in cooking, and even gave a few tips on how to pick the best ingredients. After the market, we went to the cooking class, and it was hands-on from the start. We got to make a few traditional dishes from scratch, and I learned so much about local flavors and techniques. Honestly, I didn’t expect to enjoy cooking this much! Sitting down and eating the food we made together. Everything turned out delicious, Overall, it was such a fun and memorable experience. If you love food, travel, and learning something new, I definitely recommend trying a cooking class like this one!

Wonderful Experience - Milton was great! We got a tour of the market and he shared the economy and background of it. Then we took Tuk tuks to his house as he explained all of the food he helped prepare in his lovely roofto kitchen. Great food and a better understanding of Antigua and Guatemala from a local. Highly recomend.
