Wonderful experience ....
Wonderful experience . Best cooking class I have ever done. Very simple techniques to make beautiful dishes.
via Viator
Highly recommended
I had an amazing time at this cooking class! I was the only participant, so it was like a private class. André was an excellent and friendly host, very knowledgeable about the food, the ingredients and life in Guatemala. Five dishes sounds like a lot to get through in one session, but it never felt rushed. The food was delicious, and the class was held in a traditional house with a beautiful garden + a friendly parrot.
via Tripadvisor
Great cooking class experience.
The experience was great. The class allowed us to learn and cook traditional Guatemalan dishes such as Pepian and tortilla. It was a great experience and hands on. The length of the class was perfect. The admission fee was worth it and inexpensive. The overall atmosphere was great and included a lot of traditional ingredients. Our group was small and inclusive. The staff and chef were friendly and knowledgeable. This is great for solo travelers and for groups. Highly recommended. AND they offer pickup.

Very pleasant experience! The class was well structured, organised and enough variety. I was the only person but Andre made me feel very comfortable, and shared many insights about Guatemala and the cuisine. I highly recommends

Why this scores 73

Cooking and pastry class in Casa San Miguel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antigua.
How much does Cooking and pastry class in Casa San Miguel cost?
+
Prices start at $38 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Antigua usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cooking and pastry class in Casa San Miguel take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Antigua is not rushed.
Is Cooking and pastry class in Casa San Miguel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Antigua, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cooking and pastry class in Casa San Miguel?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cooking and pastry class in Casa San Miguel suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cooking and pastry class in Casa San Miguel?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Antigua can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Antigua and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cooking and pastry class in Casa San Miguel start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Antigua within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Antigua?
+
On Outty we rank every Antigua experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coffee and Gastronomic Bike Tour in Antigua, Antigua ATV Mountain Adventure, Antigua ATV Sunset Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Antigua?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Antigua?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Cooking and pastry class in Casa San Miguel?
+
Included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Cooking and pastry class in Casa San Miguel include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 116 listed pickup locations in and around Antigua. Be ready about 25 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Cooking and pastry class in Casa San Miguel offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
