Don't skip this trip, you'll love it!!! - This tour was one of the best I've experienced with Viator. Due to others canceling I enjoyed a one on one tour of the city with Josh. He showed me many different zones and was very informative about the history of Guatemala. Josh was an excellent guide during the 4 hours.

The best Guatemala city tour! - What a great tour! He is extremely knowledgeable and seems to know everything about Guatemala city down to the exact year it happened. He even has a few small jokes. His English is great, and he is flexible with the schedule. We needed to be picked up, and he was willing. He then rearranged the tour so that we could be dropped off near where we were getting our next ride.

Amazing Walking Tour - This tour is amazing if you want to check out the various zones of Guatemala City! We visited the city’s landmarks, indoor market, churches, and other hidden gems! Gustavo is great tour guide and very informative! I’m glad I opted for the tour, because I got to see a lot of things I wouldn’t have been able to see on my own.

Highly Recommend-Good Tour and Good Value for the Money - Very thorough and comprehensive tour of Guatemala City, and we hit the highlights and some lesser known spots. Byron, our guide, was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English, and our driver Illsa did a very good job navigating the busy streets. We were a little tight in our vehicle (3 passengers) but that was not really an inconvenience. Overall, very good tour and very good value for the money.
