Great guide and exploration of the historic downtown - The tour guide was very knowledgeable and very passionate about the city's history, the culture, and the current challenges that they face as a country. He was very informative and was willing to answer any question we had. I would highly recommend this tour. This is a great way to see the historic area and zone one with a trusted guide.

Great tour, highly recommended - I had a lot of fun during this tour, Francisco is very knowledgeable & friendly, the tour outside was great but also inside the churches and their history, the post office and its story, all of it was great and the special local coffee place was a cherry on top!

Great overview of Guatemala City Zona 1 - We spent a pleasant time with Francisco, our very informative guide who showed us around Zona 1, the oldest part of Guatemala City. We received wonderful explanations of many churches and sites central to Guatemalan history. We shared a delicious corn pie and coffee at Leon coffee shop. We also tried and loved a savory special tamale with an herb found only in Guatemala. Overall a nice way to pass an afternoon. We would recommend Francisco.

Tour guide never showed up!! - The tour was automatically confirmed when we booked it. We were charged. We showed up at the location at the correct time. But the tour operator never showed, never notified up, and didn’t even bother to cancel. We had very limited time in the city, so this was not just disappointing but very disrespectful of our plans and time. I do not recommend this company!
