5.00Our tour guide - Nelly - was great! Growing up in Antigua she knew everything we needed to know about this excursion. Her demeanor and flexibility made this experience great. This started as a visit to Hobbitenango and ended with us jumping off the van as the semana santa traffic was crazy. Nelly quickly walked with us to Guadelaria (awesome local food), introduced us to Juan Antonio Duran (the owner) which resulted in a great additional experience. Going this extra step really made our experience great. Hobbitenango was even better then we had anticipated. Best part was the nice little restaurants and bars interspersed throughout, the views, and the local cat - Frodo. Would recommend. Ask for Nelly.
Excellent!

5.00Too grateful with the attention of Mr. Fernando de León to coordinate the tour details. And the accompaniment of Mr. Juan Antonio from the pickup, during the tour and the completion was too excellent, very attentive and very pending the details. Definitely if I would take the tour again and anyone else with them. Thank you and blessings!
Memorable & pleasant!

5.00We had an amazing private tour for two and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everything was smooth, well organized, and very enjoyable from start to finish. Our guide, Nandy, was excellent, super knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke fluent English which made everything easy to understand and more engaging. He also went above and beyond by taking all the pictures for us, which made the experience even more special. Our driver, Ernando, was fantastic, very professional, punctual, and made us feel safe and comfortable the entire time. Overall, it was a perfect experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
