Future President of Guatemala ? - Occasionally, you come across someone that's just perfect at what they do , I found this with Gustav . He was engaging, knowledgeable, went at my pace, and is overall just a lovely person to spend a few hours with. I could not recommend this man more . It was just a great time spent getting to know the city , the history and the people

Great way to spend an afternoon in GC - I had a free afternoon in Guatemala City after my meetings for the week ended and was glad to find this tour. Byron was a knowledgeable guide who showed us a lot of GC. The traffic in GC is crazy in the afternoon and evening, so dont count on a timely end to the tour - but as long as you have some wiggle room in your dinner plans (which I did) definitely recommend it.

Excellent tour with a well-spoken individual - Gustavo was well-spoken and gave a thorough history of Guatemala City, mixing the new and old concerning the city. His English was exceptional, having taken it during his time as a student and traveling to the United States several times. We had personal conversations beyond the tour discussion which made it feel like a friend was showing you around the city. I highly recommend Gustavo!

Knowing Guatemala City - Good tour of the relief map, historic center and municipal market the very friendly guide, very patient and super punctual handled perfectly the information, the only thing that perhaps failed a little was that the air conditioning of the vehicle did not work in much of the route and within the conditions were that the vehicle would have air conditioning and we were in very hot
