Guatemala City Adventures 2025 Cousin's Wedding Trip - Our tour was great. We took a private tour with Byron as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. My parents love asking questions and he was happy to answer the many questions they asked. And he put up with our family's jokes.
By the end of the tour we learned a lot more about the history and culture of Guatemala and Guatemala City. He also gave us suggestions of other things to see in the city on other days and in the other places we were visiting. So, I highly recommend him.

Luis rocked this half-day city tour - As others have said, Luis is an encyclopedia of knowledge that stretches from local history to sociology to geology. We were picked up promptly at the Westin and our driver skillfully navigated tight areas, avoided congestion, and we never waited for him. Luis catered to our individual interests and showed us where to shop, helped us get the kids’ coin collection money, and shared a myriad collection of facts and places of interest. It was my just my wife and I and we were very thankful for the tour. We walked ten miles the day before, and only duplicated one sight. Eating “native” at the Mercado Centro was fun. This tour could easily be done on a “layover”, also.
