Highly recommend - JJ was locally knowledgeable and a pleasure to travel with. His plan for the tour really gave us a great sense of the city, including local color and history. He was very flexible and conscious of the needs of all in the group, which were three unrelated couples.

Absolutely incredible... - Absolutely incredible city tour with Gustavo! He explained so much historical and cultural detail and made us feel so welcome. Got a chance to see things we wouldn’t have if we were just exploring on our own.

Very good visit - Very pleasant visit in a comfortable and air-conditioned vehicle with an extremely competent guide. This makes it possible to discover Guatemala City, which is much prettier than we imagine. Included is a visit to the market that is worthwhile, as well as the possibility of lunch in a panoramic restaurant at our expense. A very good way to discover the city when you don't know it. A small downside on the price which is still quite high.

Good overview of the city - Really good overview of the city. We got to see some churches, the outside some government buildings, one of the farmers markets and had some great local food. It’s worth doing for 1st time visitors.
