He was very knowledgeable about the area and about the food. He welcomed us into his home and made a delicious meal. Definitely worth the money!VerifiedChari H2024-09-08Authentic Overload Best Experience This is sure to be the most authentic experience and totally worth the time. The market experience almost requires a guide. The tuc tuc was a hysterical. And the kitchen was pure joy. But the culture and the food we prepared was the very best. Thank you Milton and Andrea for this amazing experience I will never forget!VerifiedSunshine6286742024-09-02Don't leave Antigua without taking this class! Wonderful. We spent six days in Antigua, and this was one of the highlights of our trip!! If you are interested in Guatemalan food and culture, this is the experience for you. Milton was incredibly communicative and helpful throughout booking our cooking class and meeting us in Antigua. Throughout the tour, his energy, passion, and creativity really shined. I loved the opportunity to walk through the market with an expert guide, who took the time to answer all of our questions, point out interesting items, share his favorite food stalls and vendors, and even purchase unique fruits for us to try! Back at his house, we felt like family as we cooked and chatted on his gorgeous rooftop. We learned his family recipes and quite a few cutting techniques that I will be taking back with me. He even organized a tuk tuk for us back to our hotel, which was a fun experience we had not tried on our own yet! Book this experience! And do it early in your trip. It is a great introduction to Antigua, and you will have quite a few recommendations you will want to try on the rest of your trip.VerifiedMarieke2024-08-23Increíble clase de cocina! Tuvimos una clase de cocina súper divertida! Estaba completo, con una bonita visita al mercado. Milton era muy acogedor. La terraza de la azotea de la casa familiar es hermosa, y le da a la clase de cocina un ambiente extra. Aprendimos mucho sobre la comida y la cultura de Antigua / Guatemala, y la comida era realmente deliciosa!VerifiedMohima A2024-08-22Best Cooking Class and Teacher Ever! The entire experience was amazing, from the market tour all the way down to saying goodbye and taking our tuk tuks back to the arch. Milton was an incredible host and teacher, extremely patient and knowledgable, and taught us so much about Guatemalan culture and cuisine. We tried fruits we’d never heard of before, and the cooking portion was very casual and engaging as we all worked together to create amazing dishes in the end. The view from the roof of Milton’s home was spectacular as well! Overall, this was a 10/10 experience and we highly recommend choosing Foodietenango as your Antiguan cooking class of choice!!!!VerifiedGaby H2024-08-21Foodalicious !
