Great to understand the origins of the city and good look into the history. Cathedrals, government buildings, the market, new and old. Expect a bit of walking - our guide was knowledgeable and kept it informative for us. We did get done in 3 hrs as we didn’t shop as much. 4 stars because the car was old, AC wasn’t working and we didn't get to see one of the museums as it is closed for renovations
Yorgan was an outstanding guide and made our Guatemala City experience unforgettable. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome from the moment we met. He shared great local insights, kept the tour engaging, and made sure everything ran smoothly. If you’re visiting Guatemala City, I highly recommend booking a tour with Yorgan, you won’t be disappointed!
Great experience for a solo female traveler

Excellent start to our stay in Guatemala. A good way of learning a bit about the history and to get orientated Our guide was very friendly and happy to modify according to your tastes. His English was first class
Very knowledgeable and patient tour guide. Arrived on time. He knew the city and its history very well.
My husband and I had a great experience with Gustavo. He picked us up from our hotel and took us around town teaching us all about Guatemala's history & culture. We drove around main points under the AC on a very hot day and walked around in the historical part of the city.
Gustavo provided a good overview of Guatemala City. Very knowledgeable and good command of English. Would recommend.
It was a marvelous day. Byron was friendly and knowledgeable. We were afforded the opportunity to see (and hear) the President of Guatemala and President of Taiwan together. Labour day celebrations with huge religious parading. Starting the day with a visit to the topological map park was a great start. A review of history of nation, old and new, good and bad...fascinating. So glad we did the tour.
Gustavo today was excellent. I'm on time. Excellent attitude. Good talker. He answered almost all of our questions. Very patient with your clients. He knows a lot about history. Congratulations and successes Gustavo. Full recommended
