Perfect day trip to Antigua - We were very happy with the tour. Our guide Diego was very nice and had a great approach to the group. His English accent was very good and easy to understand. Moreover, due to lots of places to be visited, the tour took much more time than expected, but Diego was totally ok with this. He even said: "Just spend as much time as you want everywhere. If I go home later, I'm fine with it". Wow, that was very nice of him. We visited all places included in the programme and Antigua is beautiful and worth seeing. Pick up was also on time and travel with the van comfortable. Everything was nice and we recommend this tour.

Amazing historical day trip - A wonderful day trip from Guatemala City to Antigua - amazing history and opportunities to sample chocolate and coffee along the way. Our driver Cristian was splendid and our guide Juan Pablo was incredible with his wealth of knowledge on the history of the region. So happy we decided to make the booking and have an amazing day.

Loved it!!!! - Carmem is one of the greatest tour guides I met. The was at my hotel super early and she kept me company for over one hour when our driver was late. She made the waiting time fly by. When we got to Antigua, she knew everything and everyone. She asked me what I was interested to get as souvenirs and she make sure I got it. If you are booking this great tour ask for CARMEN. The tour itinerary is great and Carmen is the cherry on top. High recommend this tour!!!!

Perfect experience - Luis Pedro, was super punctual, communicative and tidy with the tour, he offered us an experience for the whole family, we traveled with an older adult and a girl, he gave us information about the history of ancient times, he helped us to find all the souvenirs we were looking for and the places with the meals you wanted to try.

Terrible tour experience - We booked an English tour. Our driver/“tour guide” barely spoke English and provided little to no information at all during the tour. After over 8 hours we finished the tour having learnt almost nothing about Antigua. Extremely disappointing, especially considering the cost ($110/person).
