5.00Pamella was wonderful. A really nice experience. The visit to the government building is kinda meh but the market and museum were great. I appreciated Pamella dropping me at my desired location instead of where she picked me up in the morning. Worth the money for sure.

5.00This was an almost last minute decision and I was so pleased that I decided to go ahead. I have done a private tour before. I like to do group tours but the advantage of a private tour is being able to go at your own pace, particularly if shopping. I had two places that I particularly wanted to see: the National Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology and the Central Market. The entrance fees were included and a bottle of water. The museum was stunningly curated. This is something I've noticed with all the museums in Guatemala City thus far, they are all beautifully curated and we had plenty of time to take it all in. The Central Market was full of atmosphere and I was able to have a good look around and bought some items. We were in time for a group tour of the Palace and I found it fascinating. Fernando was a genial and informative guide. I felt welcome and the tour felt fresh. It was great to be out and about in the city.
Great Experience

5.00This was a half day tour that covered a lot of information. Our guide, Pamela, was very knowledgeable. She was punctual, kind and a joy to be around. I am leaving Guatemala so much more knowledgeable about the history than I was when arrived. That’s all because of Pamela.
Good quick glimpse of Guatemala City

5.00Guatemala is a very culturally rich destination. Esteban was just the right person to walk us through it. Within the first 15 minutes it was clear that Esteban loved what he does and that is important. He is very knowledgeable and he was able to communicate clearly.
