Walking around the city. - We were lucky to have a small tour group with Roberto. He was so energetic and positive. He taught us about his culture and his love of the city. The road is all cobblestone, so be prepared with good shoes. Roberto pointed out important buildings and helped us find a good place for lunch at the end. I highly recommend this tour and this guide.

BEST tour I’ve taken in Guatemala - The tour guide makes the tour… and Roberto was by far the best tour guide I’ve had in Guatemala. He was high energy, funny, knowledgeable, and hit ALLL of the stops. And we hit plenty of areas that I never would have found as a tourist, which is exactly what you want out of these tours. I highly recommend if you’re trying to get the lay of the land and a better understanding of the city’s history…. And also if you’re up for a fun, high energy, slightly eccentric tour guide.

Fantastic Walking Tour of Antigua with an Incredible Guide! - This half-day walking tour of Antigua was absolutely fantastic! The meeting spot was ideally located in a central area, making it extremely easy to find and access from our hotel.
Our guide, Geovanny M., was exceptional - incredibly knowledgeable, friendly! He took us to all the must-see highlights of this beautiful historical town, sharing fascinating stories about the cathedrals and historic buildings, with special attention to how the town's repeated earthquakes shaped its architecture and history.
What really impressed me was Geovanny's ability to build on places we had already visited independently. He added layers of history and context that perfectly complemented what we already knew, giving us a much deeper appreciation for Antigua. He also gave us plenty of time at each location to explore and ask questions.
Great tour!

Great tour of Antigua - Roberto was a great guide. Definitely one of the most unique tours we have taken - very knowledgeable and we loved the personal stories he shared as he is an Antigua native. This was a good tour to take on your first day as it helps you get your bearings in the city and know where you want to explore next.

Informative but wrong tour guide language - While the tour itself was good, I think something happened with the original tour that resulted in getting combined into a group that only spoke Spanish. My Spanish is minimal and though I can understand a great deal more than I can manage to speak, I was still left very confused at what was being said for the majority of the tour. I had asked for an English guide along with two other members of my group and ended up with a group of Brazilians who spoke no English that the guide mostly catered to. Roberto, our guide, was fantastic and seemed to be providing a ton of in depth explanation in Spanish- however sadly just very minimal in English. I still feel like I was able to see more sights than I would’ve been able to manage on my own, however it would’ve been nice to actually understand the entirety of what I was being shown.
