Wonderful day in Guate! - My mother and I were travelling together and our first day in Guatemala was spent on a tour of the capital with Christian the guide and Rafael the driver, two well-informed and friendly gentlemen. They ensured we saw all the highlights of the city and took extra time with us at sites we found particularly interesting. We felt safe and comfortable all day and enjoyed getting to know more of the architecture, history and culture of this beautiful country. A FIVE STAR experience, highly recommended!!

Nice experience.... - Nice experience.
There were a few things like that we did not have the chance to give a close look to Yurrita Church and we did not see Cerrito del Carmen but that was because we did other things that were not on the list. Even though, it was a nice tour, many recommendations were given by the tour operators, they were funny, patient, and knowledgeable.
Recommended.

We invested a solid half-day stay in Guatemala City. "Authentic Guatemala" staff shared their national pride with us. - Through this city tour our group was able to grasp in a short period of time what makes Guatemala City a charming destination. Gustavo, our guide, is a pleasant and knowledgeable individual. He is very proud of being Guatemalan. His pride was evident in the way he connected us to the local culture.

Byron is one of the best. - Byron was fantastic. Very knowledgeable. Very engaging. Very friendly and pleasant. He proactively sought our opinions and needs. The tour lasted most of the day, in effect he worked overtime to give us a memorable tour experience. I’ve done a lot of Viator tours and almost all have been really worthwhile, but Byron was one of the best.
