Tour description

Fun Tour of the Colonial City of Antigua Guatemala is a unique experience that allows visitors to explore the fascinating history and culture of this colonial city of Guatemala. Some places that can be visited during the tour are:

  1. The Central Plaza: The heart of Antigua Guatemala is the Central Plaza, surrounded by imposing colonial buildings, with a central fountain and a beautiful garden. Here is the Cathedral of Santiago de los Caballeros and the Palace of the General Captains.

Overall tour was fine. Spent half the time in shops. Me and my friend tipped 150 & he demanded more money saying it wasn’t a free tour… yet it’s free in the description
