Wonderful Dinner and Market Tour
I did this tour with my sister and we can't recommend it enough! We had an amazing time walking through the artisans market and central market. Axel showed us around the market and explained Guatemalan market culture. He encouraged us to ask questions and provided thoughtful answers. We then drove about 15 minutes to another town and met Elsa in her home. She was an extremely kind woman and has a beautiful home. We then cooked dinner together and talked about Guatemalan history and politics. I l...read more

A look into Guatemalan food and life
We had an amazing time with Axel and Blanca. They were so sweet and educational. We started at the market and learned about new fruits and vegetables native to Guatemala. We didn’t have time to have lunch in between our walking tour and the cooking class so Axel helped us find a local vendor in the market that had delicious Chile Relleno. He then drove us a short 15 min to Blanca’s house and we got to cook Pepian, tortillas, and dessert mole. It felt so authentic and we really enjoyed learning a...read more

Amazing Tour & Cultural Experience
This was a great experience. The visit to the market was very informative and the cookie class was an awesome immersion into the true Guatemalan culture. The host and her family were lovely. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants a true hands on experience.

Great hands-on activity, highly recommend
My husband and I enjoyed this market tour and cooking class very much! Axel was a great guide and is very knowledgeable - come prepared with questions. He arrived early at the waiting area and there was no delay in taking us through the artisanal and food market. He bought samples of several different fruits for us to try and gave personalized recommendations. He took us to Doña Elsa's house, which was a pleasant drive through the avenue of jacaranda trees and Volcán de Agua in the background. W...read more

Wow… we might need to frame this review and hang it in the kitchen! 😄
Thank you so much for your kind and detailed words. It truly means a lot to us that you not only enjoyed the experience, but also felt welcomed, learned something new, and—most importantly—left with happy hearts and full bellies (our favorite combination!).
Axel will be especially proud to know you came prepared with questions—that’s his favorite kind of challenge! And of course, Doña Elsa will be smiling from ear to ear knowing her recipes and hospitality made such a lasting impression.
From fresh market fruits to pepián and mole made with love, it sounds like you experienced Guatemala the way we always hope our guests will: authentic, flavorful, and full of meaningful moments.
Thank you again for trusting us with your time—we hope to welcome you back someday for round two… maybe with an even bigger appetite! 😉
