Primero que todo nuestro guía Gustavo una estrella, mi madre y yo estábamos muy felices con todo el conocimiento y la pasión que ponía en su trabajo, de verdad nos hizo enamorarnos de Guatemala e inspirarnos a volver. La experiencia fue hermosa y más que fuimos en Semana Santa. Definitivamente muy recomendado.

We loved our trip through the countryside to view the Iximche ruins of the Mayans and then to the old town of Antiqua. Our guide, Michael Angelo, was extremely knowledgeable about everything at the ruins, and we enjoyed his enthusiasm to share this information with us. He then took us to a lovely restaurant in Antiqua for lunch, and we also saw some very old historical churches and had an interesting jade museum/store tour. I would recommend this trip to anyone who loves history, culture, or jade.
