Walk Antigua with a local guide for 6-7 street-food tastings, market fruit, Mayan corn bites, coffee or atol, plus history tips in 3 hours.
“I cannot rave more about this tour. Highly RECOMMEND, please don’t hesitate to book this. Our guide, Jay Jay was super knowledgeable, engaging and well respected in the community. We went deep into the Guatemalan culture to some great restaurants and were welcomed by the lovely and friendly owners. He gave us access to a part of the culture that we wouldn’t have otherwise and for that, I am grateful. I would tour over and over again. Btw, the Chicken Bus ride was a wild but fun experience. I hope you enjoy. Kesha- NYC”

Fantasy-themed cocktail tasting in Antigua, Guatemala. Sip three myth-inspired drinks in a magical café. $28 per person for 2 hours.
“Upgrade and do the magical potions experience where you can create your own batch cocktail in a caldron. It was more than enough for us to have two cocktails with leftovers to take with us. It was playful and fun, nice atmosphere and the staff were really helpful. Give it a try.”
Private Antigua chocolate tasting with cocoa-to-bar lessons, handcrafted chocolate samples, and a chance to make your own bar with pickup.
“It was a wonderful experience with Giovani! Got to see the making of chocolate by hand in a beautiful cottage setting! Had never seen chocolate made by hand on a small scale. We were shown every stage of the making process. Fascinating. Then we Were given their wonderful hot chocolate with warm bread with butter up on the roof top portion of the home. Loved our tour! We got to buy chocolate we tasted to bring home instead of just buying it in shop & have no idea whether it’s good or not. This was the way to experience Guatemala chocolate!!”
