1.00This is a SCAM!! . The guide never showed up. We were never contacted by the local tour operator so did not have a phone number to call them. My son & I waited 40 mins. It was a complete scam. Never ever book this tour. There is no information on how to request a a refund.
Great tour!

5.00This was an amazing experience! My daughter and I learned so much about this beautiful town. I appreciated Roberto’s knowledge and passion during our tour. He provided so much history and gave us a much deeper understanding of Antigua. We received great recommendations or places to see, eat etc. I was impressed by Roberto’s enthusiasm, kindness and his genuine pride of this most beautiful town. I can’t recommend Roberto and this tour enough!!
Beautiful

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Antigua. Our guide Ruben, did an awesome job making sure we saw all of the beautiful sights in the city. We particularly enjoyed casa San Domingo and all the Antiquities there. There was going to be a wedding the following day and so we were able to see the reception hall and church being prepared for it. The Jade factory tour was interesting but we particularly enjoyed the arch and Merced Church.

5.00Our tour guide Sao Paolo was excellent. He knew a lot about the history of Antigua and Guatemala and was able to explain it concisely to us in English. We were in the tour with another couple from Spain, so Sao Paolo would switch back and forth between English and Spanish without missing a beat as he guided us through the city. I was amazed! He could tell this was our first time in Guatemala and offered suggestions on what to do, where to go, what to eat, where to buy the best coffee, I'd recommend this tour to begin your stay in Antigua!
Great way to start a visit to Antigua!

5.00Alfredo was an excellent guide, and taught us all about this beautiful and historic city. It was the first thing we did when we arrived, which helped make the remainder of our visit to the city so much enjoyable because we learned so much and had such a greater appreciation for the city and its people. I highly recommend this walking tour to anyone who visits Antigua.
The guide was amazing we see all...
