5.00Our private Viator excursion to Guatemala City and the archaeological park at Kaminaljuyu was an absolute dream—and it was all thanks to our phenomenal guide, Pamella! From the moment we met her, Pamella brought the perfect mix of energy, knowledge, and warmth that made the entire 4 hours unforgettable. 🏛️ The ruins were awe-inspiring—like stepping into a living history book. Pamela’s storytelling made the ancient stones come alive, and her passion for the culture was contagious. We learned so much while having a blast! 🌆 Guatemala City was a vibrant surprise! From bustling markets to hidden gems, Pamela made sure we experienced the heart of the city like locals (but with VIP flair). Every moment was thoughtfully curated and full of joy. 🎉 The whole experience was smooth, safe, and seriously FUN. Pamella made us feel like family, and we left with full hearts and big smiles. If you're thinking about this tour—book it and ask for Pamella. She’s a rockstar!
Great Tour in Guatemala City!

5.00We had an amazing half day tour with an incredible guide in Pamella. She took us to the heart of Zone 1 where we learned all about the Palace, the Cathedral, went to the market, are a Mayan lunch, and learned so many details and so much history. I highly recommend this tour and Pamella as a guide.

5.00Although the traffic was very bad, the tour was great. We learned so much from our guide, Esteban. He was a wealth of information about the history of Guatemala, Guatemala City and the Myans. I highly recommend this tour, specifically with Esteban.

5.00Excellent half-day tour… the anthropology Museum had hundreds of mayan artifacts thousands of years old. Our guide, Pamela, was extremely knowledgeable and an enjoyable person to be with. Pamela really made the tour a pleasure.

5.00I don’t think a hundred words is enough but I’ll try to capture what I can this was one of the most amazing personal experiences one can receive. Esteban was my tour guide knowledgeable is an understatement. He’s a walking historian of the culture. The tour was well managed for half day, I was able to get a sense of the surrounding communities, local gems and lots of must see landmarks. The information was insightful and some of his personal experiences you can’t get from the handouts or on a solo tour. I had the pleasure to see their versions of the White House, a graduation in the court yard, loves the way it’s highlighted honoring both Mayan and Spaniard sides which is great to know the history. The central market was awesome and plenty of bargains for some keepsakes to take home you won’t find a lot of the authentic items at the airport. I can go on and on about the tour but I encourage you to try it for yourself.
Great tour- must do!

5.00This was an amazing experience! We booked a private tour on the date of our arrival (it was a long day) but it was perfect! Esteban catered the tour to our needs based on what we were interested in seeing. He is so knowledgeable about Guatemalan/Mayan history, culture, economics, science, astrology I mean everything! We were so happy to have him as our tour guide, he made the tour that much more enjoyable! 10/10!
