The best tour guide in Guatemala!

5.00I can’t recommend this tour enough, especially because of our incredible guide, Luis. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to make sure our experience in La Antigua Guatemala was unforgettable. He didn’t just guide us through the tour — he truly became our vacation advisor in Guatemala. He gave us affordable and reliable transportation recommendations, helped us plan additional activities, and suggested amazing tours — including the beautiful magical towns around Antigua that we would have never discovered on our own. His food recommendations were also spot on! Every restaurant he suggested was delicious, authentic, and reasonably priced. Thanks to Luis we experienced Guatemala like locals, not just tourists.

5.00I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Luis knows Antigua and hearing the legends and stories behind the places was so spooky and fun. (Just be careful that you’re not staying in one of the haunted places mentioned in his stories.)

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.
