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 Goathemala, important characters, as well as the different events that influenced it, its conservation process, the way in which it was declared a cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO, in 1979, the interpretation of architectural facades and much more.



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






REMEMBER THAT THE TIP IS INDIVIDUAL AND NOT GROUP






THE TOUR STARTS AT 9:30 HOURS! If for some reason you don't come, I would kindly ask you to cancel the tour! Or notify me through the application or via WhatsApp, thank you!!!


I ask above all for punctuality, the tour starts at 9:30 AM so if for some reason you do not arrive on time, it is better to notify me or cancel since you are delaying the rest of the group... And you are delaying me!!




On my tour we didn't visit shops, no interior visits! Only. Exterior visits



The tour lasts 2 hours 30 minutes and I would ask you, if for any reason you leave the tour, to reward me with whatever comes from your heart, so that you value my work...




Bring comfortable shoes
Sunscreen
Cap





My tour is oriented on history and architecture and is very informative and detailed, focused on art history, please 🙏🏿 I would ask that you read the instructions carefully.



THE MAJORITY OF GUATEMALAN, WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS, ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND WANT TO RECEIVE THE SAME TREATMENT FROM TOURISTS,

This is my second tour with Pablo, and I must say, he's exceptionally knowledgeable, especially about the history of Antigua. I wholeheartedly recommend his tours.

Nos llevó por muchos sitios y con información muy robusta, cuidando los detalles, aprendimos mucho. Solo recomiendo que como el pueblo es ruidoso habrá que hablar más fuerte o seria bueno usar una bocina o parlante porque a veces no se escuchaba y uno se distrae con lo que pasa alrededor.

¡Pablo fue magnífico! Busqué varios guías y elegí a Pablo, y estoy segura de que tomé la mejor decisión. Es muy respetuoso, inteligente, un fotógrafo excelente y muy amable. Lo recomiendo muchísimo. Nos contó muchas curiosidades y es muy atento a los detalles. Muchas gracias, Pablo, por compartir conmigo un poco de la magia de La Antigua.
