A nice day out in Antigua. - Throughly enjoyed this trip. The tour guide is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I definitely would recommend it to anyone who is interested in visiting Antigua and spend a fruitful day in this wonderful town.

Exceptional guide - Beautiful city, charming and interesting, but our guide was exceptional and so knowledgeable and friendly. He surely is a great asset for your company, Grey Line Tours, Jaun Pablo Gomez , he was a pleasure to be with.

Great overview of Antigua - We had a great guide who spoke good English and was very knowledgeable about Antigua. It was a beautiful day in a beautiful city!

Well planned and the food was delicious. - We loved our guide. He was well informed about the country and showed us so many great things. The lunch was in the neatest restaurant and the food was delicious. We loved it.

Great tour! - We enjoyed this tour very much. Our tour guide, Celestino was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The bus trip was nice with only 20 guests onboard. The city of Antigua was lined with cobble stone streets and beautiful old churches. A quaint town with a lot of history. We are older and was afraid that a long walking tour might be overwhelming but it wasn’t at all. The jade factory was nice if you like jewelry etc.. Many Street vendors selling their wares which by the way are much less than the shops by the ship. We had a delicious lunch with many options to choose from. We chose the chicken with a green tomato and cilantro sauce which started off with a green salad, then the chicken (whole breast or leg and thigh) with green sauce, rice and vegetables along with freshly made hot corn tortillas. They even let us hand make a tortilla if we wanted too! We would definitely recommend this tour!

Well organized excursion - We were picked up at Puerto Queztal, Guatemala, for an excursion to Antigua. It turned out to be a small group of about 11 from the cruise ship. The guide gave us information during the 1-1/2 hour trip about that part of Guatemala, and showed us different places of interest in that historical town. Even though we were taken to a jade factory, there was no real pressure to buy. Lunch at a local restaurant was included. Afterwards we were taken back to the port in good time.

This is a must for first timers - Charming city with a lot to see. Very Warm to Hot with the occasional cooling breeze. Friendly town with history and stories of the indigenous people. The Jade Museum and factory was actually OK. They do have some good deals on unique pieces. Lunch was local.

Antigua Review - It was just so busy on a Saturday during a flower festival that it was hard to keep our group on 18 together.

Tour Left Without Us - When we booked this tour I told the company that our ship did not dock until 8:00 am and that it would take some time to get off the ship. At 8:20 someone from Viator called me on my cell phone to ask me where I was. I told them that we weren't allowed to disembark yet. She said that everyone else had and didn't know why my group wasn't there. Turns out she had us disembarking off of a Azamara ship and not Oceania. When we got to shore Viator scrambled around trying to figure out what was going on. They finally put us on another tour and off we went. The condition of the van was abysmal and several people complained about the lack of suspension on the car and the driver's competence in navigating the pot holes. My husband's back went out because of it and when he complained, Viator sent another newer van for the trip back. The tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. The only thing was that he did not wait for the older, slower people to catch up on the walking tour. I would not recommend this tour company.

Don't Bother! - We were booked today on a tour of Colonial Antigua and Santa Teresita Hot Springs. Due to a mixup, we were moved to a tour that was just Colonial Antigua, without the hot springs. (Cultural & Colonial Antigua Walking Tour). Apparently not enough people signed up for our tour, but we were told at the port that it was because our ship was in port for 2 hours less than planned. This was completely false, as the time in port did not change from the day we booked the cruise in June, 2018, let alone from when we booked this tour just last month. OK, so we go off on this tour. What a joke! While a few things were pointed out along the way, the main focus of this tour was 3 stops at particular shopping locations (jade factory, main square where vendors practically attack you to get you to buy, and a shop that was actually many small shops all connected) Each of these stops was for a good ½ hour to be sure we bought as much as possible. We then walked up the block to lunch, where, after spending an hour, we learned that there was still 30 minutes to go, so we left and walked around on our own until the bus returned to pick us up. So here are the problems: 1) We paid $102 each for a combo tour, and were replaced on an $86 tour. 2) Calling what we did a "cultural" walking tour is hyperbole at the very least, and false advertising. "During the 2-hour, easy walking tour, you'll pay visits to sights like La Merced Church, Santa Catalina Arch, Central Park (Parquet Central)with its European style plaza, the Cathedral and the Jade Factory - Museum. Be provided with free time for buying handmade souvenirs to take home memories of this special day" was the promise. But we did not visit the church, or the cathedral. We did see the arch, and the government building was pointed out to us from the square, with minimal information given. 3) Our lunch was supposed to be: "a delicious lunch is included that will consist of homemade tortillas and other traditional Guatemalan food. Watch first-hand how the tortillas are made and learn about the importance of the traditions and history that is rooted in the country's food." Lunch was ok--salad or soup and a choice of entrees--but there were no tortillas and we sure as heck didn't watch anything being made, or learn about traditions and history of food. 4) The old bus we traveled on seemed not to have any shocks or suspension speak of, and this, combined with the atrocious condition of the roads, led to a jaw-rattling 90 minute journey in each direction. Had we had ANY idea what was in store for us, we would have cancelled this tour and gone with one of the ship's tours. The conditions reported by people who did that (at a much lower price, surprisingly) was far superior.
