Touring Antigua Guatemala - We were picked up from our hotel in Guatemala City. Our tour guide was Mr. Mirco , he was very knowledgeable and fun . We started our tour by driving to Antigua and Mr. Mirco started by explaining us the history of Antigua Guatemala , our first stop was el cerro de la cruz , where we had an amazing view of the city , we got amazing pictures and then headed to the coffee plantation where he explained us the process of the making of coffee , we got a taste of the great coffee as well , after that we stop at different spots that were part of our tour and Mr. Mirco made it very interesting and enjoyable . We ended our tour by having lunch at a traditional Guatemala restaurant . Overall it was a tour that exceded our expectations and it’s highly recommended . Special thanks to Mr. Mirco that made our tour very special .

Wonderful day trip to Antigua - Gustavo messaged us the night before our tour to confirm pick up details. He was a professional, polite and friendly guide and extremely knowledgeable. He made our tour super interesting. Our driver, Henry was also very professional. We did the walking tour of Antigua, had an hour in our own to look around the shops, cafes etc and then drove to the plantation for coffee and chocolate tours and samples. We had a lovely meal at the plantation and it had lots of vegan and vegetarian options.

Antigua totally worth seeing - Our guide was Carmen. She was amazing, very knowledgeable and paid attention to several details in Antigua that were hidden treasure ! She was very flexible with us and we really enjoyed our day in Antigua. Tour was a bit pricy we could’ve get same tour locally for third of a price working directly with the agency.

Times were wrong... - Times were wrong Not prepared for a separate drive to Antigua and arrive early to have to wait for the guide for 20 minutes The trip was completely ruined as the “English “ speaking guide really had hardly any . We abandoned the tour only part way through and returned to G City A complete Rio off for the above reasons If he had spoken any real English the tour could have worked much better

Terrible tour experience - We booked an English tour. Our driver/“tour guide” barely spoke English and provided little to no information at all during the tour. After over 8 hours we finished the tour having learnt almost nothing about Antigua. Extremely disappointing, especially considering the cost ($110/person).
