Esteban’s Guatemala City Tour was helpful to understand the history of Guatemala and Guatemala City! - Esteban was an extremely knowledgeable guide who helped us appreciate how the Mayan culture evolved across the centuries up to present day Guatemala City. We began the day at a giant relief map of Guatemala which was helpful to understand the country’s topography and proximity of various cities and rivers. We then visited a Mayan archeological site before stopping at a Mayan museum. We proceeded to the main presidential palace and square where we discussed the past 100 year history of Guatemala then ate an authentic meal in the main town center. We then walked through a large artisanal market and were lucky to finish the day by watching a Catholic Procession from a nearby church and photograph several of the flower petal art the adorned the street for the procession. Esteban’s English was very good and he was even kind enough to return a cell phone left behind after the end of the tour. Highly recommend Esteban!!!

A must when visiting the city - The best way to learn about the history of the county and city. The guide I had was phenomenal. Well educated and knew the history as if he discovered the country himself

Tour: comprises the most relevant sites of the City, with enough time to enjoy each moment. Guide: very attentive and knowledgeable about the issues. Pros: We did the family trip, including two teenagers, so it was very convenient to go our way. Gran tour.

Great guide but much more than that - Parmela is an amazing tour guide, she has great knowledge about Maya and Guatemala culture and history. Even though museum are closed on Mondays, she still managed to adapt to my needs and showed me the nice place I wanted to see instead, accompanied and drove me around, enjoyed great lunch with me and also took me to several chocolate shops. She has been on time, professional, reliable end very attentive and knowledgeable guide. Strongly recommend. It was not just about showing me around but I also got to know the local culture, religion, market, and accompaniship and that was the highlight of this trip.

City tour of Guatemala City - Pamella was an amazing guide. She took great care of me. I really enjoyed the Archeology museum and seeing the dig going on in the city. I also really liked the huge relief map of Guatemala.

Perfect way to see the highlights in a day - We had Pamella as our guide and I cannot recommend her more. She was knowledgeable about each site we visited and happy to throw in a few drive by visits so we could see Zone 4 and a friend’s bookshop. She is a great guide and a fabulous driver (which is important on a driving tour). 10/10

Highly recommend! - My wife and I had an extra day to spend in Guatemala City and we wanted a more personalized tour of the city. Esteban was a superior guide and took us to so many places that would have been impossible to do on our own in one day. We really enjoyed getting to know him and not only did he provide good information about the tour sites, but also insights into living in GC that only a native-born person could share. Thoroughly enjoyed eating Pepian at lunch in the market. Esteban introduced me to Hibiscus juice which is wonderfully sweet. I needed to replace my lost phone charger and he stopped by an electronics store to help me purchase that. It was a day well spent and great value for the price.
