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.

I strongly recommend this. We tasted unique fruits, learned history, and experienced the Antigua market like a local. Our guide was very kind and very good conversation. We even got to make our own tortillas in the market!

I wasn’t offered any fruits as the company advertised. When we went to the tortilla stand, my tour guide Christina told me that it costs 10 GTQ to try making tortilla. I said No because I thought it was supposed to be covered in my tour fee. She then took me to a lunch place. I only ordered rice with veggie but was charged 45 GTQ (the website says the meal should cost $2-4 US dollars). When I reached out the tour agency afterwards, they told me it was supposed to be 20 GTQ so it looks like I ended up paying for my tour guide’s meal (she ordered rice with chicken and a coke). I feel that my tour guide took advantage of me. This is a terrible experience and I would not recommend it.
