5.00Be sure to wear walking shoes. This tour gave a great background on Guatemala City and most of the public/governmental buildings. Our guide was fabulous - he really knew his stuff. There was one very interesting interaction when he was explaining to us about the posters of people who were disappeared during the 1980's - 1990's. A passer by started to interrupt his presentation saying that he was wrong and was a left wing person. He handled it vary well and explained the context for it.
