Explore Antigua’s nearby towns by minibus, tasting shucos, churros, tortillas con carne, drinks, and local culture with guide Milton.

“I absolutely loved this street food tour with Milton! It was such a pleasure getting to know Milton and hear about his life and many passions. The food was so delicious and it was so nice to get to explore the little towns just outside of the tourist area and see family run food vendors. You will not only learn about the food but also so much about Guatemalan history (if that's your interest). I highly recommend this tour for people who appreciate local life and food. Come with a big appetite! You'll be consuming both local food and drinks.”
