Legends tour with a living legend - Luis is a wonderful guide and host. Very warm, professional, humorous, and engaging. His style of storytelling is very informative and entertaining. He also handles delicate topics of religion or politics with either humour or diplomacy. Our only suggestion is to pack an umbrella or raincoat in case of rain, but definitely don't cancel or postpone because of it!

Legends of Antigua - We had Andrea all to ourselves. This was a great mix of Mayan cultural background and legends and ghost stories coming from colonial times in Antigua. It was extremely informative.

5 Stars - Best Guided Walking Tour in Antigua - Luis was amazing. We decided to do this tour last minute on our final night in town. Despite missing the reservation time slot to book, he graciously allowed us to join. I’m so glad he did because it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Not only does Luis have a natural gift of story-telling but he was incredibly friendly, funny, and deeply knowledgeable about both the historical side of Antigua and the local legends that bring the city to life after dark. He shared fascinating historical facts, pointed out constellations in the night sky, and made our small group feel engaged and comfortable throughout the tour. He also happily answered a lot of our random questions and gave recommendations of places to check out. All around great guy. If you’re in Antigua, I highly recommend doing a guided tour with Luis.

Friendly, fun, knowledgeable - Luis was absolutely brilliant. He spoke English perfectly well, and helped teach a little Spanish along the way! Luis was very friendly and we had some good jokes and conversations as well as the tour. Luis was extremely knowledgeable and told lots of myths and legends along with bits of history. He happily answered any questions. Many of the stories seemed to be Mayan legends. I think the quality was well worth the price. I would recommend to anyone interested in learning more about the local legends but also the history and culture of the place.

The Real Antigua Guatemala - What a lovely, thoughtful tour. Luis was an excellent guide and taught us so much about the Mayan culture, legends and specific history of Antigua. We even learned how to write Mayan numbers! It was also lovely to see the city by night. Luis even had a small gift for everyone at the end of the tour. Highly recommend if you want to get your bearings in Antigua but also learn about the rich history and culture of the Mayan people.

Educational & Entertaining - Luis will teach you so much about the history of Guatemala, Antigua and the Mayan culture all while entertaining you! This was a great way to learn about Antigua but we really enjoyed all of the information about the Mayan’s and the great impact they had on building the city. The legends were a fun and entertaining way to spend an evening. Highly recommend booking any tour with Luis!
