Felix was an amazing guide—punctual, knowledgeable, and passionate about Guatemala’s history and culture. He led us through Chichicastenango and Iximché with great insights and safe driving. Felix also introduced us to Rodrigo Restaurant, where we enjoyed traditional meals, live music, and dance—a truly memorable experience. We were so impressed that we asked him to organize another tour of Guatemala City before our departure. Highly recommend Felix for an authentic and unforgettable journey!
Felix was awesome! He was extremely knowledgeable and very nice. Very good tour! Highly recommend. Was 3 hours and took us all around the city.
A must do activity with an amazing guide. Erwin was incredibly knowledgeable, he was like a academic with fantastic understanding of the history, politics, and religion of the area. Amazing English skills too, very friendly and even extended the tour time to answer extra questions. Great recommendations for food as well. Best guide we have had in Guatemala!
This is the only tour you could possibly need in Antigua. Erwin will show you historical sites, food, and art and will be able to provide advice on literally anything for your trip. He is a great teacher and very friendly. God bless this man.
We really loved our tour with Erwin! He is very knowledgeable and engaging. We learnt so much about the culture, country and history! Highly recommended. All information was communicated in an easy to understand way.
Excellent tour of Antigua by Erwin, passionate and exciting at the same time. The square of 10x10 streets constituting the historic and classified center of Antigua has no secrets for Erwin, who will take you to various important places in the history of the city. You will sometimes enter beautiful museums, hotels and restaurants in Antigua through a back door. We keep a very good memory of this guided tour finally personalized because we were the only ones registered for the 2pm session.
Je suis heureux de savoir que la tournée a répondu à vos attentes et nous espérons vous servir à nouveau à une autre occasion. meilleures salutations
We only had half day left after hiking Pacaya Volcano. We took the p.m tour. Mr.Erwin is super knowledgeable. We learned a lot from him. Thank you Mr.Erwin.

Our highest priority is to create unforgettable travel experience to our guests. It will be a great pleasure to see you again whenever you wish to visit the fantastic Mayan World.

Mr. Erwin Rivas very friendly and professionally shared his knowledge through a tour of sites of relevance of Antigua Guatemala, it was an enriching experience as it is very educational to be in the places and hear the history of the events that gave rise to what we can appreciate today. People who visit Antigua Guatemala are advised to contact the MB Guatemala Travel Agency for a tour either internally or externally, since learning is greater when the history and explanation of places and events are obtained. As Central American brethren (I write from Honduras, but visit Antigua the first week of October 2018), we wish you well always. Greetings and blessings.
