5.00Absolutely incredible! An experience I will compare my future travels to. If you do a cooking class here in Guatemala, this is the one! Milton is a wonderful host and chef. He made this experience really stick out with his attention to detail and with all of the bonuses he added such as the wine, his beautiful rooftop kitchen, the tuk tuk ride, and trying the local fruit we picked up at the market. And of course the food we made was authentic and delicious! Can't recommend this enough :)

5.00Had an amazing experience with Milton and his crew at his lovely home. The experience started at the market with a lot of interesting and important information about the food like the meats, fruits and vegetables. After the market, we went by tuk tuks to his home, and started cooking. It was one of my favorite experiences I have ever done! I can’t recommend it enough. Milton is so lovely and so kind, informational and showed us his family recipes which were all so delicious. Highly recommend if you love learning about different cultures, food and cooking!

5.00We toured through the massive market and learned some really impressive things about some items there. Our instructor picked out some choice ingredients from special vendors, and then he drove the small group to his rooftop school where he and his assistant Diego shared with us some choice recipes! We had such a magical experience- the view from the rooftop was so dreamy. I cannot recommend it enough!!

5.00Such an amazing experience! Our group of 5 girls had a wonderful time with Milton. We started by visiting the market before making our way to his beautiful rooftop kitchen. I really enjoyed that he took his time to explain the history and traditions of the meals. We were assigned small individual tasks and at the end ate everything we made. No cooking skills required and easy for beginners. We left with a full belly!
Best cooking class!

5.00Such an amazing experience!! We walked through the local market to pick out our produce and protein and it was so amazing to see the local culture. The cooking class was so fun, we did it in his home which was so sweet and the view for the class was awesome. He is so friendly and knows what he is doing. I would book again!
Fun class, delicious food
