5.00It was a “city tour” unlike any other. Our guide picked up we were extremely interested in the culture so gave us 100% for more hours than we paid. My degree is in anthropology with the emphasis on Mayan culture. I was amazed by the new discoveries. We followed 5K years of history and left with a tremendous understanding of the culture and its people. Esteban is a knowledgeable, kind and dedicated guide. It would be an honor to have him lead you through this incredible world.

5.00We had a terrific full day tour with Esteban the best full day guide! The very ancient Mayan site and museum was beautiful and informative. Esteban is passionate about Mayan history and as an expert he is well aware of the latest archaeological trends. My wife and I enjoyed a first class Guatemalan lunch with music. The Palace tour was special. All the massive wood beams. We also tour the market place ending the day at the oldest church on a hill in the city. Highly recommend this tour with Esteban!!!
Great Day in Guatemala City!!

5.00Esteban was a great guide! Very knowledgeable about Guatemala, the Mayan people, and their culture. We managed to hit all of the major sites both archeological like Kaminaljuyu, cultural like Cerrito del Carmen, the relief map and much much more. Lunch at the central market was so good. He then took us to drop off at our hotel in Antigua, which by distance is not too far, but traffic, ugh! He was a calm safe driver though. Excellent English. Highly recommended!
A great day in Guatemala city

Esteban’s Guatemala City Tour was helpful to understand the history of Guatemala and Guatemala City!

5.00Esteban was an extremely knowledgeable guide who helped us appreciate how the Mayan culture evolved across the centuries up to present day Guatemala City. We began the day at a giant relief map of Guatemala which was helpful to understand the country’s topography and proximity of various cities and rivers. We then visited a Mayan archeological site before stopping at a Mayan museum. We proceeded to the main presidential palace and square where we discussed the past 100 year history of Guatemala then ate an authentic meal in the main town center. We then walked through a large artisanal market and were lucky to finish the day by watching a Catholic Procession from a nearby church and photograph several of the flower petal art the adorned the street for the procession. Esteban’s English was very good and he was even kind enough to return a cell phone left behind after the end of the tour. Highly recommend Esteban!!!
