The best tour I ever had! - My schedule did not accommodate the tour dates. I booked a solo tour. My guide was Sergio. He was amazing! The tour was a 3 hour immersive expierence into the religion, politics, natural disasters and diversity that make Antigua a fascinating city. Highly recommended !

Truly Informative and Interesting Tour - 5 out of 5. I moved to Antigua 2 years ago from the US. A friend was visiting from DC and we took a 3 hr tour together. Our guide was Sergio. Outstanding. Even having lived here 2 years, I learned A LOT. My friend was totally wowed. By the city and by Sergio. Elizabeth Bell’s company is the best in the business.

Great start to a few days in Antigua - The walking tour was incredibly educational and a great way to start our Antigua stay. We learned about the city, history, volcanos, churches, and everything in between. You'd be missing out if you didn't take this tour when visiting.

Great experience! - Elizabeth was terrific. We were coming from the port and just made the 9:30 tour on time but Elizabeth had it all figured out even if we were late. Our guide was fantastic. He was both well informed and very congenial. We learned so much about the beautiful cit of Antigua and Guatemala as a whole. If you are looking for an intimate tour, Elizabeth Bell tours are for you!

A little underwhelming - This tour was OK. The guide was good and knowledgeable to the extend that he knew about where he took us. I did not expect to spend 30% of the time side of places of business (jade museum/ hotel Santo Domingo). I thought we would cover much more ground and see many more things. To that, read tour descriptions carefully and ask for a detailed list of where you will go and how you will spend your time.

Not just an Antigua tour! - Antigua Tours is amazing. They planned as many activities as possible for the days available, creating a tailored tour. Their drivers were always on time, and very courteous.
The activities included: Antigua tour, Pacayo volcano tour, lake Atitlan tour (3 days- including Panajachel, Lake Atitlan cruise, and Chichicastenango market day), and 2 day Tikal tour (including flight, Tikal day tour, and Tikal dawn tour).
They also go the extra mile. When the Guatemalan government arbitrarily refused to take foreign credit cards for Tikal admission, Antigua Tours paid in cash, and I reimbursed them by credit card.
Elizabeth Bell is not merely a travel agent- she is also an expert on Antigua, authoring 7 books on the subject!
Antigua Tours had been recommended to me by a friend who is a native Guatemalan, and they totally fulfilled my expectations. Their fees are also quite reasonable for the quality provided.
