Antigua market tour and hands-on Guatemalan cooking class with hotel pickup, rooftop views, and recipes to take home in small groups.

“I loved the cooking part and the market tour was cool. The only thing I would say is that the tour guide didn’t wash his hands as often as I would have liked especially since he was the one selecting the food we would later eat.”

3.Cooking class and market tour/Pepian Workshop

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $50

Antigua market tour and a small-group pepián workshop in Parramos, cooking with a family and sharing lunch or dinner.

“This was by far the best experience we had in Antigua. Our guide met us as arranged and took us on a brief tour/overview of the town square of Parramos before heading to a local family's home. There, we met the family matriarch, who explained what we would be cooking. Throughout the afternoon, we were free to ask many questions about her life and the way of life of other indigenous people in the area. Throughout this time our guide interpreted for us as needed. When the meal was finished cooking, we all sat down and enjoyed the best meal we've had in all of Central America! Highly Recommend!”
