5 Stars - Best Guided Walking Tour in Antigua - Luis was amazing. We decided to do this tour last minute on our final night in town. Despite missing the reservation time slot to book, he graciously allowed us to join. I’m so glad he did because it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Not only does Luis have a natural gift of story-telling but he was incredibly friendly, funny, and deeply knowledgeable about both the historical side of Antigua and the local legends that bring the city to life after dark. He shared fascinating historical facts, pointed out constellations in the night sky, and made our small group feel engaged and comfortable throughout the tour. He also happily answered a lot of our random questions and gave recommendations of places to check out. All around great guy. If you’re in Antigua, I highly recommend doing a guided tour with Luis.

Friendly, fun, knowledgeable - Luis was absolutely brilliant. He spoke English perfectly well, and helped teach a little Spanish along the way! Luis was very friendly and we had some good jokes and conversations as well as the tour. Luis was extremely knowledgeable and told lots of myths and legends along with bits of history. He happily answered any questions. Many of the stories seemed to be Mayan legends. I think the quality was well worth the price. I would recommend to anyone interested in learning more about the local legends but also the history and culture of the place.

The Real Antigua Guatemala - What a lovely, thoughtful tour. Luis was an excellent guide and taught us so much about the Mayan culture, legends and specific history of Antigua. We even learned how to write Mayan numbers! It was also lovely to see the city by night. Luis even had a small gift for everyone at the end of the tour. Highly recommend if you want to get your bearings in Antigua but also learn about the rich history and culture of the Mayan people.

Educational & Entertaining - Luis will teach you so much about the history of Guatemala, Antigua and the Mayan culture all while entertaining you! This was a great way to learn about Antigua but we really enjoyed all of the information about the Mayan’s and the great impact they had on building the city. The legends were a fun and entertaining way to spend an evening. Highly recommend booking any tour with Luis!

BEST tour in Antigua!! - This is a truly unique and special experience in Antigua, showing you a history of the city and its surroundings that you won’t see or hear at the major attractions. Luis was such a pleasure to tour with, and told the legends and stories in such a way that you could see them around you. Highly, highly recommend!

What a great way to start... - What a great way to start our trip to Antigua! Luis, our tour guide, was such a gem. So knowledgeable, so engaging, and a great story-teller. We did this tour the evening we arrived in Antigua and it really helped to provide an introduction to the culture and the stories that make this such a special city. Luis incorporated everything from Mayan legends, to colonial ghost stories, to astronomy lessons, and wonderful local recommendation for shopping, and eating. This tour set us up to be able to appreciate everything we encountered around the city. And honestly, we couldn’t stop referencing the stories we learned for the rest of our stay in Antigua. Do yourself a favor and book this tour with Luis!!

Book this one! - I loved this tour! I did a different tour and it was not nearly as good as this one. I am glad I took the chance even though there were not many reviews. I learned so much! The guide has great English (if that is important for you). He was funny, helpful, and the stories were unique.
