Insider experience
Our guide was Felix and he took us around the city on a rainy Sunday. It was only my party for the tour and that was a great experience. He knew a lot about the architecture of the buildings and different symbols embedded into them. He took us inside of a lot of places that we wouldn't have gone without him and told us about extra sites we could do on other days in Antigua. This was very cool because I never would have known about these side missions had he not told me. For example, he told us where to go if we wanted to visit the rooftop of one of the churches. He took us inside of historic hotels and told us a lot about the history of preserving the city. He gave restaurant recommendations and let us ask questions about various things that we saw. He also helped us take photos and helped us with the weather forecast which is not as simple as it might seem.

Good experience
Very informative tour. We had an emergency and Roberto was very accommodating up to going to pick us up from our location. He took us to many locations and had a lot of knowledge. He made sure we got many pictures.

Fantastic tour and guide
Roberto was a very informative guide as we walked to many sites. He had many little stories and funny anecdotes. We also got to stop midway for a rest and chocolate break. He was a great guide on a fantastic tour!

Great tour with Roberto...
Great tour with Roberto who was incredibly knowledgeable and funny. Brilliant way to get a better sense of Antigua and its history. The visit to the house of Jade is a bit of a waste of time however

Guatemala Unlocked
Felix was an excellent host and did a great job of telling the story from Guatemala from the 1500s - 1800s. The tour was well-paced and for historians, it’s an amazing way to gain a different appreciation for this beautiful country.
