The experience

This tour builds around what you actually want to taste and learn, not a standard itinerary. Your guide, a passionate local, picks the stops based on your preferences and their own top picks, so the route changes depending on who is on the tour. You'll move through Antigua on foot, hitting street food vendors and neighborhood spots that show how Guatemalans actually eat, and you'll pass Iglesia de La Merced along the way. The three-hour pace is steady but not rushed, and the guide speaks English or Spanish.

Almost 10 food and drink tastings come throughout the walk: each stop gives you a chance to try something, ask questions about what you're eating, and decide what else you want to sample. All tastings are included, and bottled water is provided. If you want to skip a tasting or dig deeper into one dish, you can shape the experience as you go. Extra alcoholic beverages beyond what's included are available to order on your own.

What’s included

• Almost 10 Guatemalan food and drink tastings.
• bottled water throughout the tour.
