Chef Wilfredo was very inviting and accommodating. Held very good conversation comparing similarities to cultures and travel. Food tasted so amazing and the quality of the class was very informative. All ingredients were fresh and answered all questions when they were asked. Lovely guy! On my return back to Guatemala I would 100% take his cooking class again!!
Delicious fresh food with a knowledgeable, engaging and enthusiastic chef. A wonderful experience to learn more about not just Guatemala food but also culture, history and people and agriculture…All the food was so thoughtfully put together. Involvement before the meeting with a choice of food options. The most generous host. Thank you
Chef Wilferdo was great, we learned so much and he was such a great chef/teacher. Would recommend! Thank you for this great experience.
Very cool experience, can’t wait to try the dish at home. We missed the market with the later start 6:00.
Thank you for your opinion but I don't understand your rating since in the description it is that in the afternoon evening classes it is not included to go to the market since it is closed and I can't do anything about it
The entire experience was perfect. You should definitely book this experience, you will not regret it. I’m excited to receive instructions to make the Bachà at home for my loves.
We spent a magical evening with Chef Wilfredo, learning, cooking and dining in his beautiful home with stunning city views. He carefully planned a traditional menu and explained Mayan traditions and flavours. Chef Wilfredo speaks good English and is politely attentive to all guest needs. We enjoyed a three course meal with Mayan beverages, serenaded by traditional music. No special cooking ability is required, just openness to the new experience. Chef Wilfredo is a true gentleman and an expert in his field. It was a privilege to receive his specialist knowledge about traditional Mayan recipes and flavours. An exquisite dining and cultural experience that we can’t recommend highly enough! Safety note: Chef Wilfredo picked us up personally from our hotel in his own vehicle and his home is located in a safe district of the city with a high level of security on the garage, entrance and elevator. This cultural experience is probably the safest evening activity available in the city. We were a group of two ladies and had no security concerns of any kind while we were with Chef Wilfredo.
Very safe experience especially as a solo traveler. This tour was very informative and the food was delicious. Learned a lot about the history behind the food and the seasonings that went into each dish. If you’re visiting Guatemala I would 10/10 recommend. .
This experience was amazing, Chef Wilfredo is very knowledgeable and food was exquisite. Love the way he explained food ingredients and ask each member of our group to participate to assist to help handle few processes. He made Guacamole that was amazing, He prepared a powdered sunflower seeds dust which was the star of the night.
It was such an amazing, calm and educational experience. Will is the best host and the food made was 10/10! Highly recommend
We had a great time learning how to make Papian. I chose this dish as my family had ordered it a few times at various restaurants in Guatemala. We also learned how to make the best black beans. Chef and his family were very kind and welcoming. Would recommend this activity for those who are interested in learning how to make Mayan dishes.
