We love going on walking tours as an introduction to the city/country! Luis was very knowledgable and answered all our questions and was helpful with recommendations. We really appreciate his good sense of humor, too! Many thanks for taking us on the walking tour despite booking only 2 hours in advance. We also appreciate how flexible the guide was and met us at our hotel and started the tour there, and lingered longer with us even though it was getting dark, just so we can see a few more things and check out the new Starbucks!The entire thing was amazing. They pick us up on time and drove us there and back. The Guatemalan people are one of the kindness people I ever met. Our tour guy was very knowledgeable and kind.

Ich habe eine ausgezeichnete, günstige Tour mit dem überaus freundlichen Guide Diego Lee erlebt! Von Anfang an konnte ich die Tour mitgestalten und immer wieder Wünsche äußern, so dass ich sehr viel Interessantes aus Politik, Gesellschaft und Geschichte (einschließlich Literaturempfehlungen) über Antigua und Guatemala erfahren habe! Wir haben wunderschöne Ausblicke auf Antigua und die Vulkane genossen und ich habe u. a. erfahren, warum die Türklinken an manchen Kirchentüren so hoch sind...Am Ende sind wir noch auf den Markt in der Nähe des Busbahnhofs gegangen und haben ein leckeres guatemaltekisches Bier zusammen getrunken! Es war eine rundherum eine ganz tolle Tour, vielen Dank Diego!Tuvimos la suerte de compartir las excursiones con Aldo. Excelente profesional, buen conductor y guía . Totalmente recomendable
