We were so glad we booked this walking tour because we learned so much about Antigua’s history that we would’ve otherwise missed it. Luis was a great & fun guide!
Diego was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He was punctual, messaged me before the tour, and kept everything well-paced. It was a great experience!
Luis was an amazing guide! He knew so much about the city and Guatemala, we asked him so many questions and he seemed to always know the answer some how. The tour was definitely worth it and me and my partner learned so much, Luis has a great personality and sense of humor as well. I highly recommend this tour and getting to know Antiguas history ASAP during your vacation!
The most wonderful experience! I encourage everyone to do this tour as a welcome to Antigua. My tour guide Luis was excellent, knowledgeable tells the history of Antigua. I loved it so much as a solo traveler this is a must. It made the remaining of my trip wonderful.
This was worth every penny spent and more. Luis is a great tour guide due to his knowledge, friendliness and the event was interactive and was not rushed in anyway. Additionally Luis allowed and encouraged questions which he had no problems answering. Great time!
Luis was very personable & knowledgeable, gave us a great overview & history of Antigua. He accommodated all our requests...not to mention he has an eye for photography! ;)
Luis is a wonderful guide and this tour was perfect for what we were looking for! We booked it early during our stay in Antigua Guatemala to help us learn the layout of the city and various cafes, restaurants, and shopping options. We wanted to better understand the various options for visiting churches, ruins, and museums as well. We particularly enjoyed how Luis incorporated the Mayan culture into the colonial history of the city.

Antigua became more beautiful and special with Louis' tour. A polite, kind, kind and very knowledgeable guide of the history and the details of the city. As we walked through the city, Louis pointed details on the facades, told the history of each building and took my gaze to parts I couldn’t see alone. It was a very pleasant and happy afternoon. I recommend this tour! I loved it!
I had a great time on the walking tour. We learned about the history of Antigua and Guatemala and saw some of the key sites.
