Luís is the best guide ever!!! He helped me practice all my Spanish and patiently answered all my questions about history and gave me personalized recommendations based on how I wanted to spend my time in Antigua. I could not recommend this tour more!!
Luis is a great guide. Informative, funny, not afraid to have an opinion, well paced.
This was a great experience. The guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Antigua and the Mayan culture that the morning just flew by. He was also very pleasant and fun. The whole family found the experience to be wonderful.
Very informative and interesting. Luis taught us things I never would have known . He also told us about museums and other things to do .
He was very informative and engaging and funny! Everyone on the tour had a great time. I definitely recommend booking with him to see Antigua!
Very informative and well-paced! We saw many of the key sights and learned the history you don’t learn in books. Luis’s English is amazing and he is clearly passionate about what he does!
Our guide, Delmy, was awesome! Very informative and friendly. Loved learning about the history of Antigua and how that related to the architecture. Highly recommend.
Great walking tour! Really enjoyed my time and walked away with an appreciation for the city. Lotsa fun facts and I appreciate how he asked us questions multiple times to make sure we remembered :) would rec!!
Learned a lot about local and mayan history. Luis made it fun and answered all of our questions. Bring an umbrella or rain coat for afternoon storms.
I visited Antigua for the first time with friends and we decided to book the morning tour. Our guide Luis was amazing. The tour was about 2.5 hours at a comfortable pace including a stop about halfway with an opportunity to sit for a few minutes while he talked more about the culture and history of Antigua. I would definitely recommend Luis and this tour.
