The first thing to do just to get to Antigua is this visit. Then it all makes sense.

5.00A super interesting tour of the key places in the history of the city that hand in hand with Delmy Catavi have made the morning fly by. It tells you countless details and historical curiosities that help you understand the evolution of the city in the context of the time and the integration of the Maya in Spanish society. Highly recommended!!
A very good tour!

5.00Honestly, this tour gave me a new perspective on the coffee I drink everyday. No frills or fancy stuff, just straight to the plant and how the farmers harvest it. I enjoyed roasting the beans and learning about the process of growing the coffee plants. Such a delicately designed system of labor. It was a very intimate and fulfilling experience! Thanks so much!
Good experience.

5.00This tour was so great! My guide, Delmy, was so knowledgeable, interesting, intelligent, and kind. I didn’t realize I would be the only one on this tour- it was such a good deal for a personalized, high-quality experience. B1 and Delmy were communicative and made sure I knew exactly where to go & what to bring. I can’t over-state how good the tour was. The perfect first stop in Antigua!
