An Excellent Experience! - I did both the market tour and cooking with Dario, who was a great guide and instructor. The market is a rabbit warren of vendors selling everything you can imagine, from fruit, vegetables, and meat to clothing and shoes! It was a great cultural experience. After a fun tuk-tuk ride, we arrived at the cooking school, where our little group prepared and ate a delicious meal on the rooftop kitchen with views of the mountains and volcanoes. Then, I had another tuk-tuk ride back to the hotel. All in all, this was just excellent and great fun! Highly recommended!

Such a great experience!... - Such a great experience! I first toured the market with Dario and he was so informative and I got to learn about some of the Guatemalan traditions. When we got to the school Pamela taught us how to make DELICIOUS Guatemalan food. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this cooking class.

Cuscun cooking class, Antigua, Guatemala - This was among the best cooking classes I have attended. It began with a guided tour of the food market labyrinth with chef/host Dario, and then we proceeded to the home where guests got their hands on every step of the prep and cooking. For each course, the various tasks were divided among the guests around a large prep table laden with the ingredients, and the chef then showed us how to make the magic happen in the assembly. For an appetizer, we made dobladas, a hand-made corn tortilla filled with spiced mashed potato and fried, then topped with chopped radish, onion, mint, and lime juice. The main course was pepián, a spicy chicken stew with carrots, potatoes, tomatillos, and green squash, served over rice. For dessert, we made rellenitos, mashed plantains filled with Mexican chocolate then fried. Guests are picked up at their Antigua address and driven to the chef’s house in a nearby village. The kitchen is on the third floor, with a terrace for dining with volcano views.

Worth every penny! - Worth every penny, great instruction, conversation & ambiance! 10/10 Received a thorough tour of the market, experienced a ride in a tuc tuc and enjoyed delicious food!

Great Food - Food was great. Leave out the market part. Half of the artesian markets were closed. I have nothing more to say.

Excellent - Such an excellent experience. We wouldn’t have known about the markets otherwise - the tour was great. Our guide was friendly and arranged everything. Transportation the the school was quick and the space was absolutely beautiful! I loved how relaxed it was. We all cooked and enjoyed the dinner on the rooftop. Highly recommend!

A wonderful time - It was an absolutely amazing experience. Dario was the best guide on the market tour. We learned so much. We had a great time cooking and learning with other travelers. The view from the rooftop cooking class was beautiful.

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.
