Amazing tour with Juan Pablo. A different view of the city by a local history teacher is always interesting. Do not hesitate to do it and ask specific questions. Guatemala is an amazing country with a dark history. To not repeat our mistake we have to learn from the past.

Juan was amazing I arrived late due to traffic but the tour was absolutely worth it. You learn so much more about the real history of Guatemala and the Mayan culture. It was beautiful and worth it
