Disappointing and not as described
The trip was disappointing. Both the driver and the guide were professional. The guide had us spend close to 2 hours at an archeological site (not mentioned in the description) that was more worth 30 minutes. Due to this time spent, the only other stops we made were the map (worth seeing) and lunch. The guide did not discuss city history nor did we even drive past the cathedral and we did not stop at the market. Overall I did not feel the guide knew what was advertised and this made for a disappointing experience.

Anazing City Tour
We had a great city tour with Miguel. He was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about history. We never thought Guatemala city was so big! We went to the archeological park, plaza, church and relief map.

View all the interesting sites of Guatemala City
The tour covered all the significant sites. Only drawback was the tour guide. He was very nice, but lacked a sense of humor. His tour of the Archaeological Museum was poor. At each exhibit he would read the information and then simply repeat it to us in his own words. Evidently, he did not realize that I could read and understand Spanish. It got so boring that I broke away and toured the museum on my own.

Insightful, knowledgeable guide
We actually did a half day city tour. Our guide, Monica, had excellent English and showed us a lot of smaller details that would have been easy to miss on our own.

A great company
To me one of the most important aspects in booking a guide or transport in a country you haven't been to before is communication. Guatemalan Adventure were great at responding promptly to emails. This is very important and instils a lot of confidence. We did not have a long time in Guatemala, but we had Guatemalan Adventure pick us up from the airport, do a Guatemala City tour the next day and then drop us off in Antigua. Great people!
