Highly recommend the market tour
Rebecca was fantastic, we did just the market tour part. She was very friendly, knew lots of the stall holders, picked us tasty things we would never have found and told us the culinary history of the region. Highly highly recommend, it’s great to feel you’re spreading your tourist money into the local community in such an immediate way

A must do when in Antigua
We had an amazing morning with Rebecca, we met in the square and got coffee before visiting many vendors in the market. Our guide was knowledgeable and took us around to sample typical Guatemalan food. We took a tuktuk to a local village where learned to make tortillas and ate fruits from the market. The tour was an excellent experience and would do it again next time I’m in Antigua
Response from the operator: We are proud of our coffee! Thank you so much for choosing Kukul Tales for your trip. It was a pleasure to guide you and share the importance of our market and the history of tortillas in Guatemala.

Do not hesitate to book!
We had the most AMAZING time with Rebeca and Veruska from Kukul Tales! Communication on the front end was extremely informative, easy, and friendly. The tour, in general, felt perfectly tailored to our family and one of the best ways to experience some Guatemalan culture. The whole experience was hands-on, comfortable, and so much fun. My 6-year-old boy ate his body weight in fresh mangoes, And my two girls (ages 8 and 10) are pretty sure they're tortilla making Masters. 😅 The whole morning was filled with memories both my husband and I and our children will carry forever. 100% recommend. My only regret is not having time to do MORE of their other offers. We'll definitely be back.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for choosing Kukul Tales! We loved the tours with the kids! They made everything so much more special. We hope to see you again soon.

Wonderful cooking and market experience
Wonderful! We highly recommend this tour for a dive into the food markets and a wonderful morning preparing and cooking, then eating, corn tortillas and the local Guatemala toppings . Our guide Veruska was marvelous, so engaging, knowledgeable and fun! Maria, the cook, and her mother and daughter were a delight to spend the morning with.
Response from the operator: We’re so happy to know that you enjoyed your experience with Veru, Maria, and her family! Eating tortillas is one of our favorite moments of the day as well. Thank you for choosing us.

Market food tour and tortilla workshop: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antigua.
How much does Market food tour and tortilla workshop cost?
+
Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Antigua usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Market food tour and tortilla workshop take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Antigua is not rushed.
Is Market food tour and tortilla workshop worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Antigua, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Market food tour and tortilla workshop?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Market food tour and tortilla workshop suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Market food tour and tortilla workshop?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Antigua can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Antigua and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Market food tour and tortilla workshop start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Antigua within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Antigua?
+
On Outty we rank every Antigua experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coffee and Gastronomic Bike Tour in Antigua, Antigua ATV Mountain Adventure, Antigua ATV Sunset Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Antigua?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Antigua?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Market food tour and tortilla workshop?
+
Included: Snacks. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Meeting Point is at the central Park in front of the main church. Our guides have a Kukul Tales shirt and sign with your name. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Market food tour and tortilla workshop offered in?
+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Market food tour and tortilla workshop?
+
