Best tour ever

5.00Fantastic experience - highly recommended! Astrid was our guide and took me and my daughter to visit a local family who lives from high quality - and very beautiful - local weaving. We tried the craft ourselves and had lunch with the family. We felt so welcome and connection to all the steong women in this family, and Astrid was a perfect guide, sharing of all her knowledge about history and culture during the tour. Best tour ever!
A unique experience that you must try!

5.00It's an amazing experience. Astrid is very friendly, attentive, available and willing to do everything possible to make you feel comfortable in this experience. It is a very important initiative: by helping women, you help yourself above all, to understand the culture and know-how that lies behind these traditional fabrics. And that food! A very rich meal, despite my inability to make cakes not too thick! It was a wonderful time and out of time. I recommend it, much more than many other activities that can be done there.
Highlight of my trip to Guatemala!

5.00This tour will not disappoint! Milvia welcomes you into her family home where you have the opportunity to try your hand at the backstrap loom. This really gives one an appreciation for the skill it takes to master the complex traditional patterns shared from generation to generation. After the weaving workshop, participants share (in the making and eating) of a traditional meal. Delicious! I couldn't recommend this tour more.
A tour that exceeds expectations

5.00What an amazing excursion! I highly recommend. From the meeting location, the tour guide (Astrid) took me onto public transportation (the infamous chicken bus) to San Antonio (about 20 minute ride). It was great to learn about how to use public transportation and more about Antigua and the region while we rode the bus. Then we went to Milvia’s home where I was warmly welcomed by her, her sister, and her mother. They were lovely and so keen to share their culture. I learned about their traditional weaving and they even let me try to weave myself. I also made tortillas and helped cook a traditional meal that we all ate together. Even though I don’t speak much Spanish, I was able to communicate thanks to Astrid (the guide) who also was my translator. Truly an unforgettable experience, off the beaten path, and a more ethical way to do tourism. I highly encourage everyone to take this tour!
