Best tour/experience - We absolutely loved our market tour and cooking class in Antigua, Guatemala! It was such a special experience and an amazing way to learn about the culture. Getting to see how the locals live and shop was eye-opening in the best way. Our guides were fantastic—stopping at little spots along the way, translating for us, and treating us like friends from the moment we met. Everyone we encountered was so warm and welcoming that we genuinely felt like we were visiting family. The entire day was filled with laughter, cooking, dancing, and enjoying the most beautiful views. And the food… hands down the best we had in all of Guatemala! We were also on our honeymoon, and they surprised us with a cake, which was unbelievably thoughtful and made the experience even more memorable. It was over the top in the sweetest way and truly the best excursion/tour we have ever booked. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Antigua—you won’t regret it!

Spend time like a local - The best experience! So much fun and friendly hosts! Easily the best tour/experience. The best way to spend the afternoon, learn about the local market, the local people and get a good scoop of the Guatemalan culture. The hosts stopped and explained everything to us along the way and we had so much fun!

Particularly fun market tour and cooking workshop - Dario took us to the local market and enthusiastically talks about ‘his’ cuisine. The cooking workshop after this was great.
