Luis provides a great tour of Antigua! - A great introductory walking tour of Antigua with an amazing guide. Luis is very knowledgeable and provided a great tour of Antigua. Whether your in town for short time or longer, as we were, the tour provided much background into the city's history and Luis included many things to do that we were not aware. Highly recommended!!

A+ way to start Antigua visit! - Luis was a fantastic tour guide and I highly recommend taking his walking tour; his knowledge of the history, culture, and architecture of Antigua was impressive and he answered all my questions with ease. He even brought some props and pictures to accompany his stories. A+ way to start a visit to Antigua! On top of that he was very personable and had a good sense of humor. Note that my tour ended up being a private tour and lasted almost 3 hours - maybe tell Luis if you have a time constraint or walking issues. Also note that there is an option to pay an additional Q20 to enter and visit the cathedral ruins.

Fun and informative - This tour with Luis was offered through the hostel I stayed in, and there were four of us with Luis. He offered some interesting insights of the history and some of the unique features of the city, he answered all of my many questions and has a great sense of humor. It was a great way to spend a few hours.

Exactly what I look for in a guide - When I arrived, Luis told me that two other people had cancelled on a short-notice. Nevertheless, he still conducted the tour, which I really appreciated as I ended up getting my own private tour of the city. Secondly, after telling Luis that I was German, what really impressed me was that in addition to speaking English and Spanish, he started speaking fluent German with me. Luis easily understood my background as a tourist, and was perfectly able to accomodate. Thirdly, Luis really knows his ways around the city. He covers touristy and non-touristy spots, offers a lot of interesting facts and figures about many of the city's cites, answered all of my questions in detail, and all in all was a really friendly guy(de) to spend time with. We even hung out a bit at one of the parks after the tour was over. I booked the tour via my hostel. Feel free to ask specifically for Luis, if you are looking for a considerate, knowledgable, and easy-going guide. I highly recommend him!

Informative and fun - I had a great time as this is a highly interesting and fun tour of Antigua Guatemala with a really kind guide. I especially enjoyed getting a deeper understanding of all the historic places and symbols you find all around the city. Luis created it in a very engaging way where you don’t just walk around the beautiful streets but also get to see Guatemalan culture and try a fun little game for yourself. I highly recommend this tour if you’re looking to learn more about Antigua!
