Tour San Juan el Obispo - Ebbher is an excellent guide, very professional not only at the community level of San Juan el Obispo, but also at the Local level in Sacatepéquez. He knows the area very well and knows how to explain the details of each place. Highly recommended.

Today the experience in San Juan del Obispo was no exception. Our Guide and friend Ebberth Morales showed us interactively and first-hand distinctive places with unique beauty in San Juan del Obispo. He gave us recommendations of places to eat and taste a delicious chocolate and Nispero derivatives spectacular. I will return and hope to continue to know more about this beautiful place.

Secure next visit to San Juan del Obispo - My only objection is that the two hours were not enough to discover in San Juan del Obispo. Ebbher is a top notch guide in terms of his knowledge and experience and with the ability to instruct other aspiring guides!🙏🏼

Would definitely recommend! - I had such an amazing time! I would definitely recommend this tour because Ebbher taught me so much about what’s around Antigua and I really felt welcomed by the community. He is very intelligent and we had really wonderful conversations! So are the women I met at the weaving studio and at the mini chocolate tour.
