This was a good tour of the markets. We first did the walking tour and then segued into the market tour. Our guide, Christina, was knowledgeable and engaging. There were a few drawbacks being the lunch restaurant in the market was unappetizing. The markets are large and seemingly sell the same items at most of the stalls although we were told the goods are authentically Guatemalan and not mass produced in other countries. Additionally, Christina commandeered a friend’s too small car to transport my family of four to the markets from the public washbasin area. Two adults in our party had to double up in the front passenger seat- very unsafe.
