Incredible tour, we had a great time listening to the legends and history of the city of Antigua Guatemala; we learned a lot. Luis is a very kind person, and the tour is very interactive, making you want to know more and more. We toured Antigua Guatemala and visited many places with so much history that it makes you imagine through their stories how it was back then. I truly recommend it; it is an activity you must do if you are in Antigua Guatemala, excellent.
I have a great time with Luis! He is a great storyteller. You’ll learn more about the Local myths surrounding Antigua. You’ll also enjoy Antigua’s night charm.
I can’t recommend this tour enough, especially because of our incredible guide, Luis. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to make sure our experience in La Antigua Guatemala was unforgettable. He didn’t just guide us through the tour — he truly became our vacation advisor in Guatemala. He gave us affordable and reliable transportation recommendations, helped us plan additional activities, and suggested amazing tours — including the beautiful magical towns around Antigua that we would have never discovered on our own. His food recommendations were also spot on! Every restaurant he suggested was delicious, authentic, and reasonably priced. Thanks to Luis we experienced Guatemala like locals, not just tourists.
This was a great tour. Luis made the experience very entertaining and informative. We would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn a little more about Antigua, its stories, legends, and history!
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Luis knows Antigua and hearing the legends and stories behind the places was so spooky and fun. (Just be careful that you’re not staying in one of the haunted places mentioned in his stories.)
Luis is EXCELLENT! Highly recommend this tour. I wish I had done it the first night I was in Antigua - I would have felt more oriented to my surroundings. Luis is fun, funny, and an engaging storyteller. Take this tour!!
Andrea was a great tour guide, and I enjoyed the stories and local legends about Antigua. Tour was very affordable as well
