Tour description

This is a personalized historical tour, you will visit the most important monuments of the city of Antigua Guatemala, learning about its history, architecture and very important data. You will learn about the different foundations of the city and its different transfers in the history of Santiago de Guatemala, important people, as well as the different events that influenced it, its conservation process, the way it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979, the interpretation of the architectural facades and much more.



THE TOUR IS ORIENTED TO HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE. ONLY AN OUTSIDE VISIT OF THE MONUMENTS IS MADE AND WE DO NOT ENTER THE RUINS, YOU CAN DO THAT ON YOUR OWN! A WALK THROUGH THE CITY IS MADE WHICH LASTS 2 HOURS 30 MINUTES.


CONDITIONS AND TERMS OF THE TOUR ARE DIRECTED WITH ALL RESPECT AND EDUCATION TO PEOPLE WITHOUT OFFENDING ANYONE!!


My tour is geared towards anyone who really likes history, architecture and art history, read carefully! What is it about? Since there are people who do not like it, they have a different perspective on the tour and leave the tour halfway through and do not recognize any tip, the tour is actually very informative and has a lot of historical and architectural information.



PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY TO AVOID MISUNDERSTANDINGS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.


THE TOUR STARTS AT 9:30 AM. I ASK FOR PUNCTUALITY SINCE ARRIVING LATE WILL DELAY THE TOUR AND THE REST OF THE GROUP.

IF YOU CANNOT COME TO THE TOUR ON TIME, IT IS BETTER TO CANCEL ❌ ❌ IN ADVANCE TO AVOID DELAYING THE TOUR

PLEASE NOTIFY ME HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING TO THE TOUR. THE TIP IS PER PERSON AND NOT GROUP.



DURING THE TOUR WE DO NOT MAKE INTERIOR VISITS, ONLY EXTERIOR VISITS, WE ONLY ENTER SOME IMPORTANT POINTS OF THE CITY,


TO ENTER SOME IMPORTANT RELIGIOUS SITES IT IS SUGGESTED TO DRESS APPROPRIATELY SINCE LOW-COLLEGES AND SHORTS ARE NOT ALLOWED.


THIS IS A FREE TOUR NOT A PRIVATE TOUR


CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS, MUCH LESS SMOKING, IS NOT ALLOWED 🚭 DURING THE TOUR SINCE IT DISTURBS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TOUR....


IF YOU ARE GOING DURING THE TOUR FOR ANY REASON, PLEASE NOTIFY ME AND I WOULD ASK TO RECEIVE A TIP


IT IS SUGGESTED AND I WOULD ASK YOU PLEASE NOT TO USE THE PHONE 📵📵 WHILE I AM GIVING MY EXPLANATIONS SINCE IT DISTURBS THE TOUR DUE TO SOME INCIDENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED. THANK YOU! UNLESS IT IS DUE TO AN EMERGENCY



DURING THE TOUR WE DO NOT ENTER SHOPS, NOR CRAFT MARKETS, NO BARS, NO SHOPPING, NO RUINS, NO RESTAURANTS, YOU CAN DO THAT ON YOUR OWN AFTER THE TOUR.



THE TOUR IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 12 YEARS OLD SINCE THE TYPE OF TOUR MAKES THEM EASILY DESPERATE.





PLEASE SEND ME A CONFIRMATION MESSAGE EITHER THROUGH THE APP OR WHATSAPP, AND RESPOND TO MY MESSAGES TO BE SURE IF YOU WILL DO THE TOUR OR NOT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH...



I NEED AN IMMEDIATE CONFIRMATION MESSAGE PLEASE TO DO THE TOUR IN THE FIRST HOURS, OTHERWISE I WILL HAVE TO CANCEL ❌ THE TOUR ...


TRY TO BOOK ON TIME AND NOT AT THE LAST MINUTE


PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY:
