5.00My lady and I signed up for the 3 hour Antigua walking tour. So stoked we signed up for this tour. Our tour guide, Felix Valdez (#0369), was knowledgeable about the history, culture, foods, architecture and the diverse people of Antigua and the country of Guatemala. 3 hours was not enough, but did give us a little insight of Antigua and Guatemala. We would definitely recommend this tour and especially Felix if you ever visit Antigua. Thank you Felix for the wonderful walking tour of Antigua !

5.00We had such a lovely walking tour in Antigua. It was incredibly informative and full of history, and our guide did a wonderful job bringing the city to life. We learned so much while strolling through beautiful streets and landmarks, and it never felt rushed. A perfect way to get to know Antigua. Highly recommend!

Fun way to explore the town

4.00We chose this excursion as something relaxing to do. The bus ride there was a bit long, but we were able to see some interesting countryside. Once in Antigua our "guide' took us into town and showed us where to meet and when to be there, then we were off. This town is easy to walk and very easy to find your way around. We explored a bunch of old churches. Several parks were there to see as well. The vendors were very tenacious. Once you started looking at one person's wares, 3 others had stuff in your face. Our friend found a mercado that you went down a long hallway to get to. After that it was a maze through several buildings. The vendors there weren't as bad as the ones in the parks. We all were a bit hungry so we went to a little restaurant there for some breakfast. (I wrote a whole other review on that). We did do some buying intown. Shop owners were very open to price haggle but were fair. We did find another place for goodies. Cafe Boheme. They had some awesome croissants. We all bought some for the ride back to the ship. I wished I had bought more. This was worth the trip to see the town. This seems like a pace that would be fun to stay in for a few days and explore the history more.
Easy Antigua

5.00Very easy transfer from Puerto Quetzal port, about 1:15, traffic dependent. We visited on Sunday, so the town was quite busy. No problem navigating around and finding the landmarks. We had an outstanding brunch and shopped at leisure. Our call was only 7 hours, so we spent most of it traveling to and from. However, well worth it because the volcanoes were visible on the entire route. A relaxing and historically informative day!! Highly recommended.
3.5 hour exploration of Antigua

5.00Our tour guide spoke perfect English and communicated to the 3 of us clearly taking into consideration one of us is 82 years old. We met him as soon as our transportation dropped us off at the Jade Factory. He was willing to negotiate his fee but when we were done our tour we paid him his original fee plus tip as were were very pleased with our adventure. He asked us what our knowledge of Antigua was and what we were interested in seeing. He showed us all the sights were were interested in and even more. He kept us in the shade as much as possible for our comfort. For lunch he took us to a local restaurant where he likes to eat and we had a fabulous meal before delivering us on time back to our transportation to the ship.
