Super fun! Juan Pablo (JP) is a great guide, he was fun and knew all about Guatemala, not only Antigua and the capital! He had a mixed group (young, elderly, knee problems lol) and he managed to keep everyone happy and feeling taken care of! We opted out of the Guatemala City tour, and he was attentive and they drove us back to the hotel, but we're sure it is equally fun and informative! Highly recommend them!

Amazing! JP was the best guide ever! He is kind, knowledgeable, patient and very friendly, always with a smile! My cousin and I didn't have the time to do the Guatemala City part of the tour, but we were delighted by the Antigua Guatemala part of it and couldn't have asked for a better guide! The other 2 couples with us were also a joy to be with, but that was just a strike of luck!!! :) Antigua is beautiful, JP's explanations were great, the local food was delish and the handcraft market has great souveniers. Book this tour, you'll be in great hands!
