AMAZING tour with Moises!!

Lauren_D, Jan 2022

Moises was an excellent guide for this trip! He really made sure the day was personalized to my friend and I. We were picked up in time and stopped for breakfast at a great local restaurant on the way. At Chichi, Moises gave us a tour of the church, different areas of the market, and a nearby cemetery. He have plenty of detail on everything that was happening and local customs/beliefs. We had time to shop by ourselves and met up with Moises and our driver to head to Iximche. Moises was very thoughtful and made sure we had opportunity to eat and use a restroom. At Iximche Moises talked about the history, explained the different structures, and took great photos for us! On the return to Antigua we asked for his restaurant recommendation and he dropped us off at a wonderful steak house near the main square of Antigua. I highly recommend this tour and MOISES!

Me ha gustado este tour. Visitamos lugares muy bonitos y particulares. El guía nos dió buenas explicaciones. El mercado es interesante, aunque muy ajetreado y poblado. Iximche es hermoso y muy tranquilo. También comimos en un lugar muy bonito cerca de las pirámides. Tuvimos una experiencia gastronomica inolvidable. Totalmente recomendado el tour privado!
