“Luis Angel is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge on Guatemalan and Mayan history and we were lucky enough to have a private tour for our group of 3 on a Friday. The tour conveniently picked us up from the airport and familiarized us with Guatemala City since we had to wait until the afternoon for our hotel check in, where they also conveniently dropped us off at the end of the tour for a smooth transition. He gives amazing recommendations on things to do, places to eat and best viewpoints of the city for pictures!”

“There were only four of us in the tour. Our guide, Sergio, was excellent. He suggested getting a ride on the truck from the parking lot up to the ruins. This saved over a half our walk, each way. Take cash for driver tip. The ruins were magnificent and you wonder as you gaze at the landscape to the hills surrounded how many more are villages. We saw spider monkeys! Lunch was excellent. You spend quite a bit of time at the airports. Overall, I highly recommend. Remember sunscreen and bug spray.”
