Great intro to Antigua - Luis is a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and friendly. He provided lots of cultural info and gave me a great intro to history of Antigua. He also was more than happy to answer all my extra questions and was available at short notice. Money well spend!

He was super informative yet keeping things on point and on time - I've done many tours all over United States & Canada and even numerous in Europe and I must say this tour is in my top 3 . I totally recommend taking this tour if you love historical events and legends.

Great tour with a great guide! - Great tour with Luis! It’s a nice mix of history and legends, pointing out many things most people would miss unless they knew the history. I had a great time walking and learning all the very interesting stories. Plus, the city is absolutely stunning at night (it’s December, so plenty of twinkley lights making it magical). Luis is friendly and knowledgeable. Not to mention, Luis went above and beyond for us. We got held up in a massive accident on the way to Antigua, making our commute well over 3 hours. I communicated with him that we were running late and, because we were the only ones who booked that day, he waited for us. In addition, he took us to get street food since he was worried we were hungry from the commute, plus guided us to an ATM (for cash for the street food) and bathroom (obviously not part of the tour).
