Best food guide in Antigua! - Ebbher is kind, warm, intelligent and knows his street food. This is important information to have in order to support the local community and eat fabulous food that is inexpensive. He is also an artist, and we visited San Juan del Obispo for chocolates and dulces. We also met his lovely family and saw his incredible watercolor art. It was truly a special three hours, and much nicer than I ever dreamed.

Best tour of Antigua - Wonderful experience! Highly recommend! My husband and I took this tour with Ebbher, and had an amazing time. He is a great tour guide, very professional, kind, and knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and kindly took the time to explain or go more into detail on topics that we asked about during the tour. Doing this Antigua walking tour allowed us to visit lots of places and get to know Antigua’s culture/history. Ebbher was able to tailor the tour to our personal interests. Since there’s a lot of places to cover/see, he asked us which ones we were more interested in and which ones we’d like to spent more time on. We really appreciated that. Our tour guide also had great recommendations on places to eat and shop at. Definitely a great starting point to visiting Antigua. I’m so glad we booked this tour! We had fun, lots of sightseeing, good vibes, and great people.

Private tour Antigua - The tour is very good and complete. We did it at our own pace (it was private tour), we got to know the historic places of Antigua and Roberto (our guide) added details and context that helped us understand the past of the city and country!

San Juan del Obispo - The visit to San Juan del Obispo was a very harmonious experience with surprises of great cultural and literary value. The Museum of Famous Guatemalan writer Luis de Leon was something very incredible.
