Jose is the best!

5.00Jose did an amazing job with our walking tour. We learned so much interesting history about Antigua! He also took one of my favorite photos of my entire trip for me at the Santa Catrina arch. Much as Gracias Jose!! PS Be aware, part of the tour is a sales pitch for jade, that was the only thing we didn’t like, we did enjoy learning about the jade and its significance to the Mayan people, but we didn’t enjoy the sales side of things—I’ve never paid for a sales pitch before. Just something we didn’t realize when we booked.
Excellent Walking Tour

5.00Excellent tour with Felix. I highly recommend, a lot of this city’s history and treasure will be missed without such an enthusiastic and passionate guide.
Very interested

5.00The entire trip was filled with so much history! We all left the trip with so much knowledge of Guatemala and its beautiful culture.
Not at all what was advertised

1.00I booked this tour because it cost more than the others but said it included all admission fees. There was not a single admission fee anywhere we went that I ever saw. Most of the tour consisted of visiting shops by and restaurants that seemed to be friends with the tour guide. Most frustrating of all was that the tour said that admission to the Santo Domingo ruins were included. In fact, we were only allowed to go to the chocolate store. When I tried to see one of the sights (the crypt) instead, I was told I couldn’t go there by one of the guards, only the chocolate store, which I had zero interest in. I was really looking forward to this tour and am so disappointed.

5.00Unforgettable experience with Roberto. He was knowledgable, fun and kind. Took his time to answer questions and made the tour special for us, we ended with some drinks where we tried the best rum in Antigua. Thank you Roberto, our new good friend!
