Antigua Market Walk

An orientation walk through the Antigua Market to experience and meet the community. Lead by an English speaking guide who lives in Antigua. This is not your average walking tour. While not led by someone born in the market, your guide is deeply connected to the people who were — offering an insider-style introduction to one of Antigua’s most vibrant communities. The market is more than buying and selling; it’s daily life in motion from before sunrise. This experience explores areas that bring the market to life: meats, seafood, fruits and vegetables, chicken buses, clothing, incense, floral stalls, hardware, kitchenware, artisan goods, food courts, ceviche spots, and more. Meet vendors, learn local rhythms, and experience the culture behind the stalls.
