Best experience ever!! Amazing experience and one of the highlights of our trip to Guatemala. Fabulous people, absolutely loved the market tour and learned so much! Really enjoyed the rooftop cooking area with views of the volcano! When researching tours we noticed this is the only cooking class that included a market tour, the market tour was extremely important piece and so fun to have a guide teaching us. Don’t hesitate to book this tour!
