That’s a Wrap! - The day got started and ended on time, and everything in between was perfect! Eduardo, “Lalo”, the tour guide and “Don” Carlos, the chauffeur, were both excellent! I could not have asked for anyone better. Thank you for a great and memorable experience!

Hobbitenango themed park and Antigua Guatemala - The whole experience was amazing, from the time I was picked up at the hotel to the time I got back. Our tour guide, Winston, was super nice and very, very knowledgeable; there’s not a question he didn’t have the answer to. He made the whole experience even more enjoyable than if I had done it myself.

Amazing - Ruben was BEYOND AMAZING!!!! His depth of knowledge was so insightful and I greatly appreciated learning the rich history of Guatemala. From the moment we were picked up Ruben was professional, kind, warm and extremely authentic. Touring the hotspots of Guatemala City was truly stunning as we drove thru the different zones. As we headed to Antigua I was also pleased to learn about the different flora and vegetation native to the area. Ruben was knowledgeable about everything!!!!! Once we arrived to Antigua I knew we were in for a treat because Ruben knew the best places to get souvenirs and take lifetime photos. The memories created on this trip really made my time in Guatemala even more special. I would absolutely use this service again!!!!!!

Disappointed - Picked up by a van & driver, with our tour guide Camilo, for a private tour. Didn't realize the majority of our day would be in the car, largely due to the horrible traffic in Guatemala City. The drive to Antigua was interesting, and our driver made a suggested change in route to provide us with an overview of Antigua before driving down into the town. Upon arrival we enjoyed a walking tour of this picturesque town. However, there were way too many tourists and we didn't feel like we were experiencing the culture. Our guide dropped us off at a Cafe for lunch. The tour said it was to include lunch, but we were left to cover it ourselves. Had we known we were buying our own lunch we would have requested to be taken to a place that offers Guatemalan food. After lunch we headed back to Guatemala City -- no time to wander around the square, shops, etc. Back in G.C. the traffic was again horrendous and getting from "point of interest" to "point of interest" was a slog. Our guide arranged the afternoon so that he could be dropped off at his house before our driver took us back to our hotel. Overall we were pleased that this tour got us an overview of Antigua and Guatemala City. The van and driver were good. The guide was not as full of knowledge nor as enthusiastic about the culture as we had from our other tour with Guat2Do (to Lake Atitlan). But now we've "been there, done that" and won't go back.
