10/10 Cooking Class! - We had a wonderful experience! The class was very easy to follow and we honestly felt like we were at home with family. Our instructors were super professional and friendly. The space was clean and ready for our arrival. We were able to learn a lot about the history as well as Colombian culture. I would 10000000% recommend anyone to take this cooking class. I look forward to visiting them again when I go back to Medellin!

Fabuloso! - I had a wonderful time! The hosts were kind and patient. I don't speak great Spanish, but it's still easy to follow along and maybe you'll learn a little Spanish by the end. We had so many empanadas at the end that we could take some home.

Yum! Enjoy the empanadas of your labor! - My friend and I did this empanada class and had the best time! The sisters were so friendly and even though my Spanish isn't very good, we shared a number of jokes. (I did sign up for a Saturday class so that the English translation was available but I didn't need her - Mari - much for translation). 100% recommend taking this class!!!

Finger lickin' Colombian fun - Naty's place is easy to find and not far from Central Medellin. I was welcomed to her home and kitchen with a delicious ice-cold beverage. Which was well needed as it was a hot day! We got to learn how she got started making Empanadas and also some history of the ingredients. After we were guided, step by step, how to make the fillings, how to knead the dough, and how to shape the Empanadas. After we all sat around chatting and eating our freshly fried treats. This is a great way to spend a couple of hours and do something fun and cultural. Well done!

Authentic and informative experience in Medellín! - This was an awesome experience! Erika and Natalia are super nice, and Natalia is a great teacher (and obviously a pro at making empanadas). I learned tips and tricks that I will use again. Definitely recommend!

Fun but the group should be smaller - Way too many people in the class. We I booked I thought it was private for the 6 of us. It wasn’t a cheap class.

Fun but crowded - The host was nice. The empanadas were good. The issue is the space was not good for 12 people, it was crowded and hard to see or participate at times. Through Viator it says max 6, which was the size of our group. When we arrive there were 6 more people. It wasn’t cheap. I expected based on what was listed and what I paid that it would be a private class. It should only be 6 max. It was disappointing since I was different that I expected based on the listing.

Deliver if you promise - I asked the staff multiple times for the steps of the preparation of the empanadas and they promised that they'll send it to me via text messages, haven't received it at all. Although I asked for it specifically.
