This is our 1st time in Guatemala and we are so, so, happy that I booked this tour.
The driver Marlo and the tour guide Eduardo pick us up at the Hotel on a timely manner in a very confortable Van.
Thru our way to Chichicastenango, Eduardo provided information to us about the history of every town in a very interesting way. We had a lot of questions and he was always very happy to answer them. He is fully bilingual in Spanish and English, and although the Tour was to be in Spanish, he was able to provide the information to my husband (who is American and does not speak Spanish) in English. My husband was extremely happy and confortable of being in a Spanish speaking country.
While Marlo was driving us thru all the towns, which were located thru the mountains, we always felt very secure and comfortable due to his respectful way of driving and knowledge of the areas.
The Tour in Chichicastenango was excellent! We went to several markets, where we were able to see so many Mayan Indigenous people with their traditional outfits. Their way of life is a true example of resilience and faith; hard workers with hundred of years of traditions kept. It was an extremely humble experience for us.
We went to impressive churches and cementary, which further information about this very interesting culture.
After that, we went to have lunch in a very good "BBB" restaurant (bonito, bueno, barato)(beautiful, excellent and great prices).
From there, we went to the Mayan Pyramids. Again, Eduardo was such and excellent-fun our guide. So knowledgable and we'll spoken! A pleasure! So much history, including the visit of a USA President to these Pyramids and its impact to the upkeep of the area.
We highly recommend this Tour to everyone that visit Antigua. And definitely, we were the luckiest to have Marlo and Eduardo to drive and tour us thru these towns and their history. Priceless! We will always be thankful to both of you!
