See Guatemala City ! - This was a great excursion. I learned so much information about Guatemala! I enjoyed walking around and learning about so many things that on normal tours may not be shared. The architecture was beautiful. Please pick this tour to have a personal and wonderful experience.

Excellent tour of Guatemala City! - Excellent tour with Joaquin, a highly knowledgeable history enthusiast! He answered all of our pointed questions and explained all the notable sites around the city. We felt very safe and secure the entire time. We left our backpacks in the car. The perfect way to explore the city!

Enjoy the tour of the city - An educatuonal and fun time with Mr. Lopez in guatamala city. Our time with Mr. Lopez was genuinely amazing, and it's all thanks to his incredible depth of knowledge and the passion for his homeland.
Our tour was personal and intimate.
The absolute highlight of our journey had to be the unexpected chance to witness the Corpus Christi ceremony. The fireworks in the background took me by surprise, apparently firworks are us for special occassions. If you're planning a trip to Guatemala, you absolutely must book with Mr. Lopez. Enjoy the market as well, the mangonita was delicious and the people were so nice. We will be back.

Excellent tour but communication pre-tour was lacking - The lack of communication prior to the trip caused us a lot of anxiety, unfortunately. We weren’t sure if we had a meeting point or there was pick up and couldn’t get in touch with anyone to clarify that information.
