Guatemala City Half Day Private Tour - I don’t think a hundred words is enough but I’ll try to capture what I can this was one of the most amazing personal experiences one can receive. Esteban was my tour guide knowledgeable is an understatement. He’s a walking historian of the culture. The tour was well managed for half day, I was able to get a sense of the surrounding communities, local gems and lots of must see landmarks. The information was insightful and some of his personal experiences you can’t get from the handouts or on a solo tour. I had the pleasure to see their versions of the White House, a graduation in the court yard, loves the way it’s highlighted honoring both Mayan and Spaniard sides which is great to know the history. The central market was awesome and plenty of bargains for some keepsakes to take home you won’t find a lot of the authentic items at the airport. I can go on and on about the tour but I encourage you to try it for yourself.

Great tour- must do! - This was an amazing experience! We booked a private tour on the date of our arrival (it was a long day) but it was perfect! Esteban catered the tour to our needs based on what we were interested in seeing. He is so knowledgeable about Guatemalan/Mayan history, culture, economics, science, astrology I mean everything! We were so happy to have him as our tour guide, he made the tour that much more enjoyable! 10/10!

Our Best City Tour Ever! - The entire tour was enlightening. Pamela was probably the best guide we have ever done a tour with. She was knowledgeable as well as insightful, and we got the impression that she really enjoyed showing us her town. We especially enjoyed her explanations of the symbolism of the details and structural forms of the Presidential Palace, as well as her explanations of how Mayan traditions still influence the practice of Catholicism in Guatemala. We went away from this tour with a much deeper cultural understanding. If that's not something that interests you, you will still love the incredibly beautiful historic buildings and streetscapes.

Great half day in Guatemala City - Excellent itinerary - Highlights of town center and tour of incredible Mayan museum. The half day exclusion allowed us to visit the other two museums in the afternoon. Our guide, Pamela Lopez, was terrific. Full of knowledge about her home city. Excellent personality.

A Great Way to See Guatemala City - Our tour of Guatemala City was amazing. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We visited the Mayan ruins, the Presidential Palace and central market before having a wonderful mid afternoon lunch at a restaurant she recommended. Communications was excellent and the value received was excellent.
