I enjoyed the cooking class. I learned how to make several food items. The instructor and chef were so energetic and fun. We danced! Everything was explained very well. After cooking, we sat done to eat together. The meal was so delicious! I would recommend this cooking class if visiting Cartagena.

Had an amazing experience. We made coconut rice, patacones, empanadas, limeade, and fish. It was very educational and the ladies hosting made it a fun interactive experience.
Had fun great experience . wish I brung my girlfriend ❤️ thanks for the opportunity . will do again .
It was ok. The chef and translator were great and the restaurant was nice. We were told to order a drink and assumed it was included in our excursion but heads up, it is not. The food was good but for those who don’t like fish, it’s a whole fish and ours was undercooked unfortunately. It was a nice experience and I would do it again but with a different protein.
This was a surprise date with wifey, we had a ball. We met some great young people and the staff was great
It was amazing experience. Astrid is a great chef and had a lot of patience and humor. I enjoyed the entire experience and the food was delicious. Wear comfortable clothes good for heat.
The cooking class was an amazing experience! The host had excellent communication and made everything easy from the beginning. The main chef brought so much energy and personality to the class, making it fun, interactive, and entertaining. There was great music, plenty of laughs, and of course, delicious food. The sous chef was bilingual and did a great job translating throughout the class, so the language difference was never an issue. Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience that I would definitely recommend!
Every person we interacted with at the cooking class was absolutely wonderful! We made delicious food in a very fun environment while dancing and learning. Can not beat the price for the quality, highly reccommend.
This was such an amazing experience. I ended up posting about a highly recommend. So much fun. Def recommend
I booked many things to do on my recent trip to Cartagena but the cooking class was fantastic. The two cooks were fun and engaging and the small team of 9 of us got on really well. We cooked empanadas, patacones, coconut rice and baked fish and sat down in the restaurant together and enjoyed our lovely meal. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience for a final day in Cartagena! The chefs kept you dancing, teaching you how to make traditional local cuisine and many Spanish words that I never knew! We cooked an amazing meal and got to enjoy it after. Don’t miss this one!
Juan and his wife the cook were wonderful Donna also makes you feel like family! Would definitely recommend and book again 10 out of 10!!! The food was delicious and big portions!

Highly recommend. Was a great time, we danced, listened to music and the food was so good! Perfect for family and friends.
It was fun learning about the various foods we were making, and the importance it has in Colombian culture. It was a very engaging experience and the food was very good. It was awesome to eat our prepared dishes with the group at the end.
The cooking class was great! We had a small energetic group. Learning about Colombian food and culture was a great experience! Astri and Donna were great hosts and teachers
Well organized, clean, and methodic process, from start to finish. A wonderful activity to learn and have fun. The kitchen has good air conditioning in case people feel it will be too warm to be cooking in a warm climate.
Nicely done cooking class. Spanish cook with english translator. We made 5 Colombian dishes! Well worth the time and money
Fun experience making a traditional Colombian meal. Learning how to make the meal and the importance of certain ingredients.
Loved everything about this cooking class. The instructor herself didn't speak English but had a very, very energetic and excited translator. I truly felt like I was cooking from a family recipe book with my auntie that had all the pleasant vibes and fun. This was definitely a very hands-on, cook your own meal. During the cooking and instructions you were able to order drinks that were amazing from the restaurant.. Once everything was cooked, your food was plated and brought to you where you sat and enjoyed it together as a class.
Such a fantastic experience! Highly
recommend it. The meal was delicious, the music was so fun and the atmosphere was perfect
I had such a wonderful time at the cooking class, and it truly exceeded my expectations. Astrid and Danna were fantastic instructors who made learning a traditional Colombian dish both fun and engaging. The atmosphere was festive, welcoming, and full of great energy. The meal we prepared was absolutely delicious and a highlight of the experience. I will definitely recommend this class to anyone looking for a memorable and flavorful holiday activity.
One of the best things we have done in Cartagena! Great food, great chef, fabulous new friends from Zurich and Orlando (by way of France!).
It was a fun experience and the kids enjoyed it. Good family activity. The chefs were very engaging and the food tasted good.
This was an amazing experience and my wife’s and my favorite. The chefs were great instructors and very fun to be around. They were also wonderful with my elementary-aged son, giving him the confidence to create his own dish as well.
What a nice relaxed way to learn about Colombia's food and culture. Great day to spend a few hours and then finish by eating a substantial meal at the end
Lot of fun, local instructors in a local restaurant. We were able to walk to the restaurant from our hotel. Got there on time and the class started soon after it was proximately two hours and We got to eat what we prepared.
Our whole family enjoyed this cooking class. It was a great way to spend an afternoon learning about Colombian food and having fun together.
I love to cook and this experience taught me something new while being a lot of fun. I was really happy we were able to be hands on as some places don’t do that. Also the food was delicious. Patacones are my new favorite. I would do this again for sure!
I had a great experience doing this tour with my mom. We cooked authentic Columbian food and drinks. I highly recommend this to anyone coming to Cartenga.
Lead chef is the sweetest instructor, shes also very good with English in case you dont speak Spanish. Everything is provided and the atmosphere is stress free and they encourage you to have fun.
