Great experience! - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this cooking class. I toured the market with Dario before the cooking class started. He was an excellent guide, spoke very good English and took me to the artisan market, the fruit market and the local market where the locals buy all of their goods from paper towel to medicinal herbs. I loved it! He then arranged for a tuk tuk to pick up my husband from our hotel and meet me, where we then were taken to the cooking school. Dario introduced us to some of the local fruits and foods and we enjoyed an evening cooking and eating with a couple from Lithuania. The whole experience for me including the market tour was about 5 hours, the cooking portion was about 2.5-3 hours. I highly recommend this tour if you are looking to learn about the local cuisine and a little about the Guatemalan culture.

Cooking Tour - Recommend the market tour option! Very interesting. Dario was informative and we enjoyed learning new dishes!

Street Food Tour - I had a great experience! ET was an excellent tour guide, . He is knowledgeable and he knew his facts and information. I felt very special, specially since I was by myself. My experience was one of mutual sharing of experiences and travel tidbits, and gems of wisdom. The tour was not just about street food and culture and practices related to food but a little bit of everything, from history to volcanic eruption, to culture and practices. I thoroughly enjoyed the street food shown to me and offered to taste. Since I am in the tourist business also, I gained valuable tips in improving what we are doing here and how we can help to make an experience a truly memorable one. I would recommend this tour to others, furthermore, I would recommend ET anytime. Thank you ET. You were truly an ET…Extra Terrestrial.

Yummy - Such a fun experience. Would definitely recommend. The views and food were amazing and the market experience was so interesting.

Unforgettable!!! - This cooking class was incredible! Not only was the food we made delicious, but our guide Rena, and our chefs were incredibly gracious, patient, and fun! We shared many laughs while soaking up the gorgeous views from our rooftop kitchen. We started the day with a guided tour of the market in Antigua. Rena bought us candies and fruit we’ve never tried. Everything was delicious. The market was a feast for the senses! The cooking class was broken down in a way that is accessible to cooks of all levels. And the results! We shared a beautiful and traditional meal. My wife and I loved learning about the culture and history of the cuisine. Overall, this was unforgettable experience.

Amazing vibes, food was delicious too! - This cooking class was a BLAST! Delicious, good vibes, informative, I can’t recommend it enough. The optional market tour with this experience is a must. Our guide, Pampa, was the best. He knew all the best places in the market, was welcoming and brought the participants together. Everyone had their jobs to do so we were all included in preparing the meal- the bottomless wine and free tequila shots didn’t hurt either (: There were placemats, bags, coasters, and other woven goodies for purchase and you could watch the women weave while we cook. Beautiful view on this rooftop as well. We loved this experience so much, we booked a street food tour through the same company with Pampa later in the week too.

Really Great Experience! - We loved being able to tour the market! You can't believe it until you see it in person, but it felt so alive and was such a great way to experience the culture. We really enjoyed where we cooked our lunch - the views were beautiful and it was a relaxing setting. We were able to choose (as a group) what we wanted to cook and our dish was delicious. We highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic food with the family - The cooking class was amazing. Everybody had so much fun. Our guide was really good and knowledgable spoke perfect English and our cooking teacher was wonderful and helpful as well. What a fantastic way to get to know antigua and Guatemala cuisine.

Wonderful, interesting and delicious day! :) - We had a wonderful day! We were picked up on time by Pampa at our hotel and walked 5 minutes to the market. Pampa spoke very, very good English and we got on very well from the start. He was able to give us lots of exciting background information about the market and showed us and explained a lot. We could ask anything and he could answer everything. We then took a tuktuk to the cooking school, where our English-speaking chef Dario met us. We were given some information about the cooking school and then went to the roof terrace, where the outdoor kitchen was. The view was breathtakingly beautiful! And then it started: We prepared the fruit we bought at the market and were explained how to eat it. During this time we could choose between three dishes what we wanted to cook. Our choice: For a starter we had tostadas with homemade guacamole. For the main course we prepared jocòn with tortillas. For dessert we had rellenitos. All in all it was a really nice and pleasant atmosphere. We cooked together with Dario and Pampa and were able to ask lots of questions while we were doing it. It was really nice, totally relaxed and friendly. At the end we ate together on the roof terrace and were then taken back to the hotel in a tuktuk. Thank you for this great day!

Good Way to Spend an Afternoon - I loved the cooking part and the market tour was cool. The only thing I would say is that the tour guide didn’t wash his hands as often as I would have liked especially since he was the one selecting the food we would later eat.
