5.00I didn’t have time to do a day tour but this one sounded more fun anyway and it was! Luis shared fun folklore of the city and also talked about the culture of Guatemala. He pointed out things that I would never have noticed on my own. He also offered personal recommendations for lunch and dinner which I followed and were worth it. If you’re looking for a fun experience in Antigua this is it.
Great.

5.00This was great. I thought it would be more ghosts and catacombs, but it was more about Mayan stories, but I didn’t mind it. The guide was super informative and gave great history of Antigua as our group walked around.
Great!
