Great guide but much more than that - Parmela is an amazing tour guide, she has great knowledge about Maya and Guatemala culture and history. Even though museum are closed on Mondays, she still managed to adapt to my needs and showed me the nice place I wanted to see instead, accompanied and drove me around, enjoyed great lunch with me and also took me to several chocolate shops. She has been on time, professional, reliable end very attentive and knowledgeable guide. Strongly recommend. It was not just about showing me around but I also got to know the local culture, religion, market, and accompaniship and that was the highlight of this trip.

City tour of Guatemala City - Pamella was an amazing guide. She took great care of me. I really enjoyed the Archeology museum and seeing the dig going on in the city. I also really liked the huge relief map of Guatemala.

Perfect way to see the highlights in a day - We had Pamella as our guide and I cannot recommend her more. She was knowledgeable about each site we visited and happy to throw in a few drive by visits so we could see Zone 4 and a friend’s bookshop. She is a great guide and a fabulous driver (which is important on a driving tour). 10/10

Highly recommend! - My wife and I had an extra day to spend in Guatemala City and we wanted a more personalized tour of the city. Esteban was a superior guide and took us to so many places that would have been impossible to do on our own in one day. We really enjoyed getting to know him and not only did he provide good information about the tour sites, but also insights into living in GC that only a native-born person could share. Thoroughly enjoyed eating Pepian at lunch in the market. Esteban introduced me to Hibiscus juice which is wonderfully sweet. I needed to replace my lost phone charger and he stopped by an electronics store to help me purchase that. It was a day well spent and great value for the price.

Excellent tour for the curious - We had a wonderful day with Esteban. He was sure to communicate with us the day before to make sure that pickup was confirmed. He arrived in time and his car was clean and comfortable. Esteban is extremely well-versed in Guatemalan history and culture and not only was able to tell us about each place we visited but also was sure to point out all the interesting landmarks as we drove around the city. Since we were here during Semana Santa, he was able to coordinate watching one of the city’s many religious processions which would have been pretty overwhelming if we had tried to navigate it alone. Beyond his knowledge and professionalism, Esteban is just a really nice guy. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in Guatemalan history and culture and doesn’t have a lot of time in Guatemala City.
