This tour made the market come alive. We sampled local snacks, learned about Guatemalan ingredients, and heard stories you wouldn’t get on your own. The guides energy made it so much fun, and he clearly cares about supporting local vendors.

I was looking for a market tour as it can be overwhelming coming by yourself for the first time. It is a bit of a labyrinth and Guy did a great job navigating and showing me the highlights. He explained different aspects of the market and vendors, as well as shared recommendations for visiting around the city. Great value too.

Market tour

Cliff_L, Mar 2026

Highly recommended. We went on a saturday morning and had lots of fun. The guide was very informative and the market was full of life

Great way to spend the morning

We booked last minute on Tuesday night and met Guy on Wednesday morning. We met him and then went and "got lost" in the market, as he says. We spent more than 2 hours "getting lost" with Guy and learnt so much. He is from Canada but has been guiding central america and guatemala for several years. He shared his wealth of knowledge with us and we had plenty of laughs. We got to make out own tortillas with some local ladies. We tried cushin which we've never seen before and it was sweet. We got a hot corn drink that was good too. Walking around with Guy in the market was genuinely a great way to spend the morning. We highly recommended going to "get lost" in the market with Guy.

Market walk

We did a horse back sunset tour with this same provider and enjoyed it. The market walk was super informative and we got to try several different things we wouldnt havr tried otherwise. Meeting all the people was my favorite part of this tour. The guide was very friendly and gave us lots of stories about everything GUATEMALA. Thank you

Great morning

Heart of Antigua

Ronald_S, Mar 2026

Such a unique and eye-opening experience. It’s more than just walking around — you actually understand the heart of Antigua through its market.the guide struck the perfect balance of humor and education. Would absolutely do it again.

Everything local

A fun walk through the maze

Mike_R, Mar 2026

Our guide Ghee took his time walking us around every little nook and cranny of this massive market. He introduced us to several things we never tried which was fun, and he helped point out areas we might want to come back to, especially the second hand clothing area where if we had more time we could really enjoy searching through it all.

Do it first on your trip

Fred_Y, Mar 2026

Highly recommend doing this early in your trip. The market is like a maze, and the guide helps you navigate it while explaining what you’re seeing. He was hilarious but also super respectful and knowledgeable. We left feeling connected to the community.

Really interesting!!!

Lauren_P, Feb 2026

Not your typical walking tour. We learned about local produce, traditional foods, and the people behind the stalls. The guides storytelling made it engaging the entire time. You can tell he has strong relationships in the market community. Great way to talk to a local and set up everything for your next days as well

Fun time in the market

Claude_D, Feb 2026

We met Don Diego and he walked us through the market showing us plenty of different areas and introducing us to many things we wouldn't have found on our own. It wasnt like a walking tour filled with dates and history, more like kind of just walking around with a friend who was telling us about a bunch of random stuff

Authentic and Personal

Jessica_P, Feb 2026

This was the perfect introduction to Antigua. The market can feel overwhelming at first, but this tour helped us understand how everything works. Guy was incredibly funny and shared so much insight into the culture, food, and daily life. It felt authentic and personal.
