Best way to see Antigua - Fabulous insight into Antigua and churches that are the main focus of the city. Geovanny really helped us understand what’s important to the Guatemalans. Also, had an interesting jade lecture.

ANTIGUA GUATEMALA - Very nice town. Wear comfortable shoes because the stones in the streets are mixed. The ruins of the temples are impressive.

Great Tour! - This was our "rest" day after spending the previous days building 2 houses and teaching VBS in San Jose Calderas. The bulk of our group went off on ATV's. Our family of 3 chose this tour. We went to the Paris Catacombs in October so this seemed like a good compliment. Hugo, our guide found us quickly. He was a bit quiet for us but we quickly adjusted. Hugo is proud of his country and people and was delightful to listen to along the tour. We got over 12,000 steps in for the day as there is a bit of walking. Some tight or low entrances which just made the excursion more exciting. We had a superb time and would highly recommend this tour if you are wanting to get some local history and enjoy an adventure.
