“I cannot rave more about this tour. Highly RECOMMEND, please don’t hesitate to book this. Our guide, Jay Jay was super knowledgeable, engaging and well respected in the community. We went deep into the Guatemalan culture to some great restaurants and were welcomed by the lovely and friendly owners. He gave us access to a part of the culture that we wouldn’t have otherwise and for that, I am grateful. I would tour over and over again. Btw, the Chicken Bus ride was a wild but fun experience. I hope you enjoy. Kesha- NYC”
