Great guide, great food!
Roberto was a fantastic guide and took us on such a wonderful journey through Guatemalan food. He sprinkled in stories of history, culture, and legends (after hearing my fascination with the macabre). Also every spot we went was filled with locals and we likely would have missed them without his expertise.
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful time with us; this is the only way we know we're on the right track.
Serving is our greatest passion, and your kind words fill our hearts with gratitude.
We wish you sweet and unforgettable moments!

Honeymoon private street food tour
Roberto was our guide and he was so great! He took us all over the city and we got to try some things we otherwise wouldn’t have. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Antigua as well. My wife and I were on our honeymoon and we were lucky enough to be the only ones on this tour, so it was like our own private tour! I think that heightened the experience. I highly recommend booking this tour while you’re in Antigua!
Operator response
Congratulations, dear friends! It's incredible to read this; it means so much to us to know and confirm that our wonderful team is sharing our greatest passion in the right way.
You deserve the best, our wish for your marriage is that it be blessed with patience, curiosity, and a strong friendship that allows you to continue exploring the world together and getting to know each other better, so that you cultivate from the strong love that bonded you.

Antigua is beautiful, okay food tour.
I wish we would've tried more food and had more options. The stops seemed random at times. We didn't try everything that was listed on the itinerary just a few items. The guide was really nice but somewhat unorganized. He mentioned he was really tired from a previous tour that day, and you could tell.
I think for the price you can probably find a better tour or just try food on your own. It was expensive for what it was. The food we did try was good but the main highlight was the nice guide. Overall I would've wanted more structure and to try food listed on the itinerary.
Operator response
Dear friend, thank you so much for taking the time to share with us and everybody else your experience.
We are sorry for this negative impact that you got printed, we will improve.
Wishing you the best of the best,

Absolutely a Must-Do on Your First or Second Day in Antigua.
This food tour was the highlight of my trip in Antigua. Our guy was warm, curious, and super informative. We learned about architecture, history, culture, and of course, food. We visited monuments, markets, food stalls, restaurants, and left with a million recommendations for additional places to eat and visit. I can't recommend this tour enough for someone who has just arrived in Antigua and wants to get the lay of the city and learn about the local cuisine with friendly and informative people. I have done food tours in Japan, Singapore, Turkey, and Morocco, and this was hands down my absolute favorite for the way our guide incorporated history and culture and even a chicken-bus ride into our itinerary.
Operator response
Thank you so much for rating us with this beautiful and sweet description of our wonderful Tour Guide whom we know for sure could be Esteban! or Stefano as he likes to be called.
Thank you for trusting and choosing us, we value you and your time as well as your reference.

Excellent introduction to Antigua
Felix & Bernie were great hosts for the street food walking tour. We ate many delicious tropical fruits, tostada, tamal, rellenito, etc. They even got mini bags of mixed "dulce tipicos" for us to take home. Aside from the food it was also a good overview of some of Antigua's history. Definitely recommend!
Operator response
