Among volcanoes, lakes and pyramids: the magic of Guatemala - Visiting Guatemala is an experience that combines beauty and mystery. The vibrant energy of the capital, the colonial and romantic air of Antigua, the serenity of Flores in the middle of the lake and the spiritual grandeur of Tikal make one feel that this country keeps something special for every traveler. It is not just a sightseeing tour: it is an encounter with the history, nature and warmth of its people.

Amazing Experience! - Our guide, Armando Ramirez Salazar, was exceptional—punctual, charismatic, and friendly, with clear and fluent English. Despite his age, he was incredibly agile, while we grew increasingly tired! Most importantly, he was highly knowledgeable—this was the best tour we took. While we struggled to get the same depth of information on other tours, we learned so much from him.

Amazing tour with Armando - We took the walking tour with Armando through the lively streets of Guatemala City. What a wonderful man and tour. He was full of interesting information about the history, culture and life of Guatemala. He took us to all the main sights around the city and a location that provided panoramic views of the city and the surrounding countryside. I highly recommend Armando and this tour.

Great tour of the Historic Center of Guatemala City - Great and enriching experience. Not only to walk through the historic center, but to know the history of each emblematic place in Zone 1. The guide, very good. Recommended.

Amazing walking tour of Guatemala City - Excellent walking tour. It ended up being just me and my partner so we had a private tour! Armando was very informative and friendly, and knew a lot about Guatemala City from his experiences working there and being a previous firefighter! He imparted a lot of information, including about the government structure, Mayan history, and architecture. We saw lots of things within zone 1, and went to places we wouldn't have known about. Highly recommended!

Ok, but very slow - Good tour but very slow. The whole tour could’ve been done in 1/2 the time. Second half was better than the first.

No reliance on execution. - The tour didn't happen. No notification received from the organizer. Only on request from the organizer were we informed that the tour probably did not take place. Sorry, but I can't do it at all. We get money again but missed the day. Not a good service.
