This such an amazing tour. Feliz had such a wealth of knowledge to share. We learned so much about Guatemalan history and Antigua. I would highly recommend!
Our walking tour was amazing and all credit goes to our amazing tour guide Felix! He was so knowledgeable and brought us to parts of the city that we would have never walked through. He was constantly checking in to make sure we were enjoying our time and was kind enough to take photos of our group when we would as for them!

Great tour! I forgot our guide’s name but he seem very knowledgeable and explained everything in great detail.
Had a great time with Roberto, very personable guy. It felt like we were being shown around by an old friend. Got the sights, smells and tastes of Antigua. Really appreciated his personal insights and stories, and restaurant recommendations! Only critique of our tour is that we never made it into the churches which was part of what we were looking forward to. Not a critique of our guide, but didn’t need the visit to the Jade museum, felt like we were expected to buy something. Very meh.
An excellent tour with Felix! He is a great teacher and is very personable. His knowledge of the history of Antiqua and UNESCO’s role in preserving the cultural and architectural uniqueness of Antiqua is first-rate. Highly recommended for those wanting to understand more about the history and beauty of Antigua.
Felix was amazing!!! His knowledge of history is unsurpassed. He is very kind and accommodating. We had two disabled people in our group and he was very helpful with them.
Great walking tour, learned so much from our guide, Felix. I would recommend to bring a water, you do get a bathroom break half way through the tour. Great 3 hours of the history of Antigua!
Felix is a fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide! Tour was exactly as described.
