4.00Our guide, Sergio, was very knowledgeable and passionate about Antigua. We did get a lot of useful information from him. He was punctual and arrived at our hotel at the designated time. The main reason I am giving him only 4 stars is because even though ours was a private tour, he tried to add two others to our group via one of his friends. Once the couple found out that they were about to join a private tour for a cost higher than what we paid for, they quickly left. I thought that part was was quite shady. However, after that, everything went smoothly.
It was very average

3.00Our guide was just…average. He just stated a lot of facts rapidly, rather than connecting them to a story. It was okay but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it.
This didn't do it for us

2.00Unfortunately I have to be honest - neither my husband or I were a big fan of this tour. Our guide Celestino was very nice, but he was quite quiet, and didn’t teach us too much about Antigua as a whole. Also, we went on New Year’s Day, and a lot of the usual spots were closed. This was kind of surprising since it was a walking tour and they didn’t give us a heads up when we were booking the tour that this would be the case. Also, we had to ask to go to certain spots we had read about online that we thought would be covered. The only part I really enjoyed was a stop at JadeMaya, where we learned about jade from an employee of the store. I just honestly wouldn’t recommend this tour as it wasn’t too engaging.
Do it

3.00It was nice but the itinerary wasn’t done to the last pint skipping two stops. I guess because the two hours were up but the guide didn’t even told us I just knew it because of the itinerary.

5.00Tour: the tour is walking and encompasses the most interesting sites of Antigua. Guide: Giovani Mendoza was very attentive and is a great connoisseur of the issues. He even helped us get additional information on Guatemala-related issues.
Excellent Antigua Overview
