Hi, I'm Juan Pablo, your Guru from Guatemala. I love history and being able to share my culture. I am a history teacher and have traveled to different parts of America and Europe. On these trips I have been able to compare and contrast the processes and the essence that unites us as humanity.

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
