Guatemala City is highly underrated and worth exploring. - Excellent tour. Highly recommended. Guatemala City is highly underrated and so worth visiting. Highly impressed with what we saw. tour guide Gustavo, was so nice and went beyond what was expected to show us much more of the city. Since we where us 2 only it ended up being a private car tour, but with stops all over the city.

Great tour. Solo traveler approved also! - Tour was great! Really informative and personal. I also had to change to an earlier time because of my flight and he was really accommodating. He was really knowledgable of the city and history. I'm a solo female traveler, so I was able to see a lot of the city and return to the spots I enjoyed and found some great places to eat as well.
