Highly recommend - Luis’s tour is fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Antigua. Luis has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the local area and was able to answer every question I posed. He told me a great deal about the history of Antigua, pointed out the best spots for photos and gave useful tips on which are the best restaurants and bars. I thoroughly enjoyed our two hours together and wish every town had a guide like him. Luis is friendly, knowledgeable and, if needed, can speak faultless English. Thank you Luis for a fascinating day!

Highly Recommend Luis’ Walking Tour - My hostel recommended Luis’ walking tour, and I’m so glad I went! As a history nerd, I absolutely loved exploring Antigua with Luis—he brought the city to life with rich insights into its Spanish and Mayan influences, and how they continue to shape the culture and daily life today. He answered all my (many!) questions with enthusiasm and depth, and even took us to hidden gems I wouldn’t have found on my own. On top of that, he has a great sense of humor and was super accommodating with my schedule. Thanks so much, Luis!

Solo Amazing time! - Andrea was my tour guide and she was amazing. So sweet and patient with me, we even took a while to visit a local market while telling me stories about cultural grifts they had. Totally recommended!! I am used to participating in this type of tours and first time having one by myself, totally recommend this.

Book the tour: you won’t regret it! - Luis was wonderful! He did a fantastic job of giving information that appealed to our group, which ranged from a four-year-old to teens to parents and a grandmother. His English is excellent, and his knowledge is thorough. He had a lot of fun facts and really taught our group a lot about the history of Antigua and Guatemala.

A fun and very knowledgeable tour of Antigua. - Luis was very, very good in giving us a lot of insight into Mayan and Guatemalan history and showing the meaning of what we were seeing at churches and other buildings and giving us a good lay of the land as to where to eat, what to expect, what not to do and how to be respectful of their cultural norms. I took this tour the first day I arrived, and it was insightful, fun and very helpful and his English is excellent.

Excellent introduction to Guatemala - I would highly recommend Luis for an excellent introduction to Antigua. He was very well-informed and took the time to answer all of our questions. I left the tour knowing a lot more about both Antigua and Guatemala.

Highly recommended! - Luis was an incredibly personable and great guide. We are very glad that we booked this tour because you get to know the city much better with a local guide and get many recommendations for the next few days. We could ask all questions about the city, but also about the culture and history of the country. Luis took the time to answer everything. You can quietly dare to book the tour in German if you want. Luis speaks very good and understandable German!
