Good experience

Love the history! Learned a lot about the history of Guatemala. Good driver and tour would definitely do again.
UNESCO Tour - great day out
Stephanie_K, Apr 2022
The most memorable part of this tour was my amazing tour guide Adolfo, it felt like I was exploring the city with a friend! The sites he took me too were breathtaking and his knowledge of the history and culture of the city was extraordinary, I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to do this tour. As a female travelling solo, safety is the most important thing for me and I was picked up and dropped of at my hostel in a private, air conditioned van, Adolfo never left my side apart from when I took a wonder round the market to buy some souvenirs! Would highly recommend!

The guide, Juan Pablo, had been my guide for a Guatemala City tour. His English is excellent, he speaks quickly and he volunteers tons of information. Some guides volunteer less and wait for you to ask questions. I did a 2nd tour to Antigua 2 days later with a different tour company arranged through our hotel and took my husband. That tour took us to a different Jade Museumthere's more than onejust FYI. The handicraft market is indoors. Some vendors speak English quite well. They may not negotiate down as much as at other markets i.e. Guate or Chichicastenango but the experience was pleasant. On Sunday there were more vendors at the market with their wares on blankets outside.

Very disorganized, when the bus arrived to my hotel the tour guide has a different name on the ticket so I was at the lobby waiting to be picked up but they were asking for a different person. Thanks God I had all the information handy so we could check and surprise they were looking a different customer but it was me and my family. During the tour the guide left us at the jade market alone so at the end nobody in the group knew what to do It was good but not great
