Do yourself a favor, save money.

Kenneth_J, May 2024

We enjoyed the chef and staff; however, we expected a better experience and food options based on the money we paid. The website said that the first group to purchase this activity could select the food option. We were the only people there and told that we were the first to book. However, we were unable to change what they had selected for us even though I asked beforehand. Finally, it took nearly 2-3 months after we were there to get an email with the recipes. I would search around for another tour company. It isn’t worth $85 (USD).

Cooking class: Hot, but well done

Dana_A, Apr 2024

The chef and staff did a fantastic job. They were a well oiled machine. We enjoyed learning about the ingredients and how to prepare the dishes. I had no idea there was no air conditioning. I expected a kitchen to be enclosed and experience a break from the heat. My mistake for not inquiring in advance. Personally, it was way too hot to be enjoyable midday.

Perfect , fancy shamancy 4 course class act.

Saiqa_U, Dec 2023

If your thinking about this and comparing this to others , don’t hesitate just book it ! It was planned meticulously, organized , clean , done with finesse and class. All 4 courses were delicious, they sauces were made , the salads , the sides, a lot more than learning just four dishes. Chef was amazing and his team of a dozen assistants were kind beautiful and caring. Enjoyed it with my three adult children. All 5 of us had zero regrets booking this excursion ..

Great experience

Jermaine_L, Nov 2023

Great time with my family. Learning how to make Colombian culture food. The staff were very welcoming when we first rhyme, and they made our experience wonderful by making us feel as though we were part of their family. Everything was run efficiently. It was also a great way for us to brush up on our Spanish, although they did have English-speaking chefs. We would definitely do this experience again, or at the very least bring more people with us.

Amazing!

Kelly_G, Oct 2023

I wanted to experience a simple Colombia activity. I was surprised how amazing this class was from start to finished. I wish I had enough time to do the rum tasting class but when I return I’ll definitely be back.

Fantastic experience

Hannah_G, Aug 2023

What a wonderful class! My 9 year old daughter and I wanted to learn something about Colombian cooking and this class was perfect. The class was perfectly paced, the team paid attention to every detail, and we leaned to make four amazing dishes. Highly recommend this!

You MUST take this class!

Holly_T, Aug 2023

This is exactly what we hoped for, and honestly the highlight of our time in Cartagena. Romero was an expert chef with perfect English, teaching us how to make arepas just like the movie Encanto! Every bite was incredible and the recipes were easy enough we will be trying them again at home. My favorite Viator experience yet.

Excellent and would book again

Alisa_M, Jul 2023

Really good experience, in fact we ended up recommending this experience to other people we met in Cartagena. As a foodie, I’ve traveled all around the world and I ALWAYS take cooking classes in order to learn authentic methods. With that said, the only thing I wish is that viator would have allowed the option for a more authentic menu option. The viator menu is a bit more refined and elevated fine dining recipes. I would’ve loved to make more local homestyle dishes like posta negra, ceviche, even sancocho! So next time we book, we will book with them directly to choose from different menus!

Excellent class, excellent food

Linda_S, May 2023

My husband and I got a private class. Our chef spoke English very well and was a very good leader. These are recipes I will try to make at home. The food was better than anything else we have had in Colombia ( in week 3). It was a nice way to spend some time in a cooler setting doing something fun that is not too strenuous! We may even do another class with sky kitchen!!

Absolutely Amazing Experience

Terry_P, Apr 2023

My experience in this class was nothing short of amazing. The dishes we made were really good and it felt great to learn how to make each meal from scratch. The guides are really attentive and made sure everyone in your group had a chance to get really involved in the process. I can' t recommend this place enough. Many thanks to Romario, Lievis, Sibeira

Delicious & fun experience!

jess, Jan 2023

A wonderful experience for our first visit to Cartagena! Romario and his staff were friendly, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. The food we cooked together was delicious! Cleanliness and safety was at the forefront of the team’s minds throughout the experience. I think we must have washed our hands at least 8-10 times throughout the experience - fine by us! :) We met a great family during the experience as well. It’s intimate as you are all cooking - then eating - all together. Unlimited water is provided throughout the experience, which is a huge plus. Truly a beautiful setting, great instruction, and the best part? We got the recipes emailed to us after the class! Highly recommend for those just getting acquainted with Colombian food and culture.

Very good quality class...

Deborah_P, Jan 2023

Claire_M, Nov 2022

Nice experience. Very clean, friendly, quick paced, organized and efficient. Would recommend to someone who is wanting to learn about the foods in the area. And they provided the recipes at the end via email.

Pura vida

Hygiene, the organization, the spaciousness, the clarity of instructions. There was such refinement in prepping, cooking, plating, enjoying. Never a moment of doubt that we were in good hands,

Great view into Colombian cuisine

Heather_B, Dec 2021

What a great experience! The class was so organized, well presented and delicious. The school cared about cleanliness, which during COVId, is imperative. The food we prepared was tasty and it was so nice to see a personal look at Colombian cuisine. Definitely recommend!

I’m Cooking

Tiffany_J, Nov 2021

Listen!! I AM SPEECHLESS...

Jnielle_W, Nov 2021

Listen!! I AM SPEECHLESS but I have to have a 100 minimum words so here goes! First things first, location and set up was so stinking cute and immaculate. The staff that we worked with I don’t know how to spell their names and I don’t want to butcher it but they were attentive, they were funny, they spoke great English, they gave history lessons, they were so clean, they were patient! The food was PHENOMENAL!! Everything was just perfect! This was my husband and I’s first cooking class! My husband used to be a cook at a restaurant for 10 years and I’m a cooking novice and we were both thoroughly impressed!!
