5.00Emilio was the best guide. Without him, it may not have been as enjoyable. Warning: the market day may not be for everyone. Emilio helped us enjoy this intriguing place through his knowledge and enthusiasm about his culture and Guate's fascinating history. Thank you for working with great guides!
