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!!!
