Extensive Guatemala City tour in a few hours! - Great way to tour the city if you only have a few hours. Saw all of the important spots like the National Cathedral and main square and went to a lovely artisan market. Also our guide Esteban was phenomenal.

Brilliant Mayan Guide - It was a “city tour” unlike any other. Our guide picked up we were extremely interested in the culture so gave us 100% for more hours than we paid. My degree is in anthropology with the emphasis on Mayan culture. I was amazed by the new discoveries. We followed 5K years of history and left with a tremendous understanding of the culture and its people. Esteban is a knowledgeable, kind and dedicated guide. It would be an honor to have him lead you through this incredible world.

Great City Tour with Esteban!!! - We had a terrific full day tour with Esteban the best full day guide! The very ancient Mayan site and museum was beautiful and informative. Esteban is passionate about Mayan history and as an expert he is well aware of the latest archaeological trends. My wife and I enjoyed a first class Guatemalan lunch with music. The Palace tour was special. All the massive wood beams. We also tour the market place ending the day at the oldest church on a hill in the city. Highly recommend this tour with Esteban!!!

Great Day in Guatemala City!! - Esteban was a great guide! Very knowledgeable about Guatemala, the Mayan people, and their culture. We managed to hit all of the major sites both archeological like Kaminaljuyu, cultural like Cerrito del Carmen, the relief map and much much more. Lunch at the central market was so good. He then took us to drop off at our hotel in Antigua, which by distance is not too far, but traffic, ugh! He was a calm safe driver though. Excellent English. Highly recommended!

A great day in Guatemala city - An excellent experience full of fascinating sites and insightful commentary. The pace was just right, not rushed at any point. A balance of outdoor and indoor stops. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and on top of that an excellent driver.
