Great tour of the Historic Center of Guatemala City - Great and enriching experience. Not only to walk through the historic center, but to know the history of each emblematic place in Zone 1. The guide, very good. Recommended.

Amazing walking tour of Guatemala City - Excellent walking tour. It ended up being just me and my partner so we had a private tour! Armando was very informative and friendly, and knew a lot about Guatemala City from his experiences working there and being a previous firefighter! He imparted a lot of information, including about the government structure, Mayan history, and architecture. We saw lots of things within zone 1, and went to places we wouldn't have known about. Highly recommended!

Good way to start off - The tour was good value for money. Lots of information given from a local with good English. It was hot so pack your hat, sunscreen and water. The tour of the market was great, one of the best in Latin America I am sure. Would do it again

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! - We contacted Hector only one day in advance of our walking tour of Guatemala City and the communication was seamless. He responded immediately and we were very happy that the company was still able to offer tours during this time of protests. Our family of four did the walking tour with Don Armando in English and it was INCREDIBLE. Don Armando was very gregarious and everyone in our tour group instantly took a liking to him. He has a wealth of knowledge, was always open for questions, and let us take the tour at a very comfortable pace, allowing for lots of photos and winding conversations. We all felt like we learned a very full history of Guatemala. Don Armando was also very funny too! We absolutely loved our walking tour of Guatemala City and would highly recommend it if you have any time in Guatemala City. It was the highlight of our trip there. So happy we were able to have this experience!

The Best Way To See Guatemala City In A Day - We only had one day to see Guatemala City and we did it with Armando who guided us through the city. His English was great and very easy to understand. He showed us so many places and explained so many things that we would never have had seen if we had not done this tour. We also were able to book this tour at the last minute and they accommodated our requirements with easy. Highlight recommend this tour company for their Guatemala City Tour!

Yes, you should visit Guatemala City. - A very interesting tour of Guatemala City zone 1. After reading so many negative things about Guatemala City, this was a real eye opener. Fidencio showed us a vibrant, living central city with a history. Very much worth the time and money.

Luis mi protector - My sister and I literally booked our walking tour with Luis the night before and upon payment Hector reached out via WhatsApp and connected us with Luis, our guide. The tour was on Friday, February 3rd and the morning of we were to meet Luis at 10:30am. On our way over to meet him we had no idea that he was walking beside us until we arrived haha so from that moment we called him our protector. Luis honestly made me appreciate love and appreciate Guatemala City, he was so knowledgeable about the history of the City and it's people. He even shared external knowledge about other cultural influences past and present. That's not even all! He shared about the ins-&-out of where to eat, shop and recommended things about our incoming stay in Antigua. He is the best tour guide in Guatemala City and I am looking forward to meeting you again my friend!!

Ok, but very slow - Good tour but very slow. The whole tour could’ve been done in 1/2 the time. Second half was better than the first.
