Juancho was a great guide - made the history come alive. Very knowledgeable. Great pacing. Good humor. Fantastic recommendations. We wish we’d engage him for more tours.
Juancho , our guide, gave us a fantastic walking tour of San Cristobal de Las Casas. He was very flexible to the needs and preferences of my 12 year old daughter while managing to give us lots of interesting info about history, culture and architecture. We went to neighborhoods we would not have discovered on our own and we could see the even the (handcrafts) market from a different perspective . My daughter - who gets easily bored by standard tours- enjoyed the diversity of what we saw and the relaxed atmosphere.
