Heart of Guatemala

7D/6N Gorgeous Guatemala Tour

Great tour for those who don’t want the hassle of arranging accommodations and transportation but wanting a little more independence and time to explore on your own. The night of the Mayan homestay my driver didn’t know where to drop me off and missed the town so I had to take public transport back up the hill to the town (it was an adventure). Otherwise everything was very smooth. Excellent tour!

Basic Guatemala - 8 days

The tour provided by Mayan Sky was good except for the fact that the itinerary was changed and Receptivo Aborigen Tours which was responsible for the booking did not warn about it beforehand. Another fact is the wrong info that I was given before the tour about the payment for the inner flight [Removed in Moderation] but then it turned out that I had to pay additional $250 for the flight that was in the tour (Guatemala City - Flores and back)

• In-depth Cultural

Lake Atitlan & Chichicastenango Market 3D/2N

Things that were great: The shuttle pick-ups were reliable and close to on-time. The places the tour took me were exactly where I wanted to go. The price was right. Things that were not great: The Kakchiquel hotel in Panajachel didn't have hot water and was not very clean (felt like a flophouse). The shuttle from Panajachel to Antigua stopped 30 minutes into the 2 hour ride because the driver got a phone call saying there were more passengers for him to take. We idled on the side of the road for 30 minutes waiting for these late passengers to be driven to where we were waiting. That was weird, and it delayed the whole bus load getting to Antigua.

Best of Guatemala 8 Days Tour

We had an excellent experience seeing Ecuador on the 8 day tour. This tour was a great immersion in the lesser visited cities and communities of the Ecuadorian Andes mountains. The trip was well organized and paced for our comfort and full of culturally meaningful experiences. We felt that our safety and interests were always the top priority. Our guide, Josue, was very experienced, friendly and spoke excellent English. We especially enjoyed Intinan, Cotopaxi, Chimborazo, Ingapirca, Pumapungo museum. Banos and Cuenca were our favorite cities: beautiful and walkable. We loved trying all the new foods, and I appreciated Josue's help with my Spanish.

No trip to Guatemala would be complete without visiting the bustling “mercados” with their piles of vibrant vegetables and fruits, sizzling food stands, and locals in traditional clothing.

Although wandering on your own can be fun, this tour will teach you about the roots of Guatemalan food from a chef and entrepreneur. Not only will you get to sample 10+ “antojitos”–the foods Guatemalans crave–you’ll also learn the history of each food and beverage you try.

We loved our host! Emily is knowledgeable about the area it’s history and the food. She had fabulous stops throughout the market to prepare local food and taste samples.

Next, you’ll get to try chocolate drinks prepared in Spanish colonial style. End by making your own chocolate bars and adding the flavorings of your choice.

This is another must do in Antigua!! Learning about where chocolate comes from was fun. Experimenting the 5 step process the Mayans used was the best part. My group was amazing. Left with a lot of knowledge about chocolate! We all created our own bars. Not a chocolate lover but this chocolate was good!!! VICTORIA (Read more reviews )

Stop back in after your chocolate has set in the molds and take 120 grams of chocolate home with you (or at least partway down the block). No judgment if you decide to eat it right away.

Best Food Tour Antigua Conclusion

I hope this guide has helped you find the best food tour Antigua Guatemala has to offer. But if you’re still undecided, consider booking the Antigua Foodie Tour which has a 5-star rating and over 90 rave reviews. It’s pretty much guaranteed to be scrumptious.

Wondering what else to do in Antigua ? The options are endless!

If you love caffeine, consider one of these awesome Antigua coffee tours . Or if you fancy a hike up a volcano with the chance to roast marshmallows over molten lava, these Pacaya Volcano tours are the way to go.

No trip to Guatemala would be complete without visiting Lake Atitlán , so if you’re heading that way consider making trips to Santa Cruz and/or San Juan , two scenic towns on the lakeshore.

*** GUATEMALA TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE *** Should I buy Guatemala travel insurance? YES  — Personally, I always travel with travel insurance because it gives me extra peace of mind.  SafetyWing  is an excellent travel insurance company that’s quite affordable. Plus, if you travel longterm, it’s a snap to renew on a month to month basis. You can keep renewing for up to a year and still pay the same deductible. Where’s the best place for finding cheap flights to Guatemala? When I purchase a ticket, I always search several different sites.  Kayak  and  Expedia  are great places to start running a search. Spirit is usually the cheapest carrier, but American Airlines and United also sometimes offer excellent deals. What’s the best way to book my Guatemala accommodations? I recommend  booking.com  for finding and booking hotels in Guatemala. For vacation rentals, I recommend  VRBO.com  — it offers beautiful and unique spots to stay. What’s the best way to book Guatemala tours? Viator  is a great tour booking site with several excellent options available in Guatemala’s main tourist areas including Tikal, Atitlán, Antigua, and Acatenango. There’s a nice range of prices and options available. Can you drink the water in Guatemala? No – Don’t drink the tap water! Instead, buy purified water from any corner store or grocery store in Guatemala. Be sure to brush your teeth with that water as well to avoid getting sick. And hydrated, especially when traveling to high elevations. Do I need a visa for Guatemala? Probably not — Visitors to Guatemala from “Category A” countries like the United States, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and most European countries are automatically given a 90-day tourist visa (in the form of a passport stamp) when entering Guatemala. This visa is valid for Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador. At the end of 90 days, it can be renewed once at Guatemala’s Migración without leaving the country. After 180 days, you will have to travel outside of Central America before returning. Check to see  if you need a visa . Will my phone work in Guatemala? It’s possible, but check with your provider in advance to see if Guatemala is covered. If not, you can easily pick up a local SIM card. There are essentially only two carriers in the country: TIGO and CLARO. Both have good coverage.
