So much fun! Best thing I did in Miraflores. The two Peruvian gentlemen explained a little bit of history of the food and let us cut of the food and make our own dishes. It was the first time I had ceviche and a pisco sour beverage. And the other part is meeting meeting others in the group. Two gentleman from Ireland and three from France and us two American women all enjoyed each others companies and shared memorable stories while enjoying a delicious meal. Perfect . Thank you .

We had the most wonderful time at the cooking class with Gabriela and Karina! From the moment we arrived, they made us feel so welcome. Both are incredibly friendly, professional, and full of energy – they truly made the whole experience fun and entertaining from start to finish.
Their explanations were clear and engaging, and we all felt like we learned so much – not just about Peruvian cuisine, but also about the culture and passion behind it. The ceviche dish we prepared and the Pisco sour drink were absolutely delicious and full of flavor. It was a joy to cook, drink and eat together!
The five of us were all 100% satisfied and impressed by the quality of the class. We would absolutely take part again! If you're looking for an authentic and unforgettable culinary experience in Peru, this is it. Highly recommended!

We had a great time as a group. There were 7 of us and three others not part of our group, but the chef and sous chef did a great job building camaraderie between us all. The food was amazing and they tried hard to make sure everyone had a job or part to play. It was fun bouncing back and forth between the kitchen and the eating table. The host had great English and pisco sour/ceviche knowledge. We got a 14 page recipe book with more than just pisco sour and ceviche recipes, so it was definitely worth it! Would highly recommend!

Dear Amy
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We're so glad to hear that you and your group had a great time and that the chef and sous chef helped create such a fun, collaborative atmosphere. It's fantastic that you enjoyed the food and the interactive experience between the kitchen and dining table. We're also pleased that the host’s knowledge of pisco sour and ceviche added to the experience, and that the recipe book was a valuable takeaway. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you again soon!

This was a really fun class. The chef taught in a very sophisticated and thorough manner. Ingredients were described in detail helping me translate this recipe when I get home and cannot necessarily buy the exact same ingredients in the US. The chef used a couple of very interesting cooking techniques that I had never seen before. The location of the class was very convenient to my hotel and easy to find.
Karen_A, Apr 2024
The cooking class was a great experience! Chef Joseph showed us all the tricks to male the best ceviche and pisco sour. We were very impressed by our own creation and can’t wait to replicate this recipe at home! Bonus: we wanted to try a certain rare exotic fruit and just happened to have it and even shared with us! Don’t hesitate, book the class now!

The chef and chef’s assistant were extremely nice and professional. They explained everything thoroughly, answered questions, and had a great sense of humor. Cleanliness was great. Brought my preteen son and he loved it as well. Highly recommend!

Our group was 7 so it ended up being a private event. The food was super yummy, the chef was nice. The time commitment and effort required was the perfect amount. There were able to modify for our friend that was vegan as well.

Our experience with Haku Tours was incredible! The staff were extremely friendly and were great at what they do. The instructions were very clear and precise and the food turned out amazing! They even sent us the recopies so that we could continue making the dishes at home for our friends and family.
