Excellent tour! Antigua Tour
Excellent tour! Tour of Antigua. Super recommended the Service given by Carmen, provides extensive explanations about the places and local life. I was able to taste typical food in a coffee farm that very kindly got her. The tour is quite complete including impressive ancient monasteries, churches, museum and other ancient buildings. I highly recommend the tour of the day.

Absolutely fantastic tour!
This was an amazing walking half day tour of Antigua! We learned the history of this beautiful town and we had a great time with our knowledgeable and FUN tour guide.

Excellent
We went to visit Capuchinas Monastery. You may hire an english speaking guide and it was a very interesting experience. Dress casual with comfortable shoes. Antigua has streets built with stones. Bring your camera and be also prepared to visit the colorful market.

Excellent tour organized by...
<p>Excellent tour organized by Guatemalan adventure. Coffee tour is the best part. There was a misunderstanding of the places that we were taken compared to what was in the description. Contacted Lorena in the Guatemalan adventure was she was able to make it up by offering half day tour next day for free. Best customer service from Guatemalan adventure. Our tour guide Mirko Zea was nice too.</p>

If you only have one day in Antigua...
<p>If you only have one day in Antigua, Guatemala this is a must! Excellent offering from Viator. Definitely provides a wonderful overview of this quaint, historical city. Mirko our guide was friendly, knowledgable and patient with our questions. Wear comfortable shoes as the majority of the city tour involves walking along the cobble stone streets of this fascinating city. The coffee plantation tour was a fantastic end to a wonderful day. Miguel the coffee estate guide was excellent! the overview of the festivals and instruments of the Mayans was an added treat! Highly recommend this tour!!!</p>

Interesting tour. Lunch was good...
<p>Interesting tour. Lunch was good despite the appearance of it. Our tour guide Armando was deaf and did not fully understand English so none of our questions were fully answered. Wish we had a different tour guide.</p>

Having had a previous positive...
<p>Having had a previous positive experience using Viator, I booked the day tour of Antiqua and could not have been more pleased. Our guide, Mirko, was fabulous. The tour provided an invaluable orientation to the history and sites of this amazing city.</p>
