We did it in the day we arrived in Antigua, just perfect to get to know a few spots and more about Antigua. The game is super fun and clever. To book it was easy and fast. You walk all over the City looking for clues to complete the "case". I recomend for friends, famílias, couples. We loved it

I did this activity with my family and it was very entertaining. It was a very original way to get to know new sites and things from Antigua. The mission instructions are clear (both in English and Spanish), make you think and you have to walk a few blocks down the street of the arch. The activity took us about 2.5 hours, with adults between 30 and 70 years old.

A fun and engaging way to get to know Antigua and learn some cool facts along the way. We were a group of 7 and Splitting into two teams made it even more exciting, especially with the friendly competition to see who would finish first!

Una experiencia totalmente nueva y emocionante! :) Involucrar elementos del entorno e interactuar con ellos para encontrar el tesoro fue una aventura increíble. Durante el recorrido, conocí un poco más la antigua y observé cosas que nunca había visto antes. Si te gusta la aventura, resolver acertijos y pasar un buen rato, ¡esto es para ti! ✌🏼 A totally new and exciting experience! :) Involving elements of the environment and interacting with them to find the treasure was an incredible adventure. During the tour, I got to know the old one a little more and observed things I had never seen before. If you like adventure, solving riddles and having a good time, this is for you! ✌🏼

With my friends we tried the new interactive activity of Xplore Antigua and had a lot of fun! Definitely a perfect activity to get out of the everyday and know more about Guatemala. It is a very well planned activity, it is not very easy or very difficult which is perfect! Thank you so much for this Xplore Antigua adventure!

This was an incredibly cool experience! The materials were really professional and elaborate, and the clues were just hard enough to keep us guessing and make us feel accomplished when we figured them out. It took us about 3 fun hours to complete. Well worth the price; highly recommended!
