Walking tour

We took this tour on our first full day in Antigua. Adolfo met us at the Casa Santa Domingo Hotel. He was friendly, funny and very kind. He had a lot of interesting stories to tell about the history of Antigua. We also appreciated learning about how the city and its people had been impacted by COVID. The tour was published as a 3-hour walking tour, but I think our tour lasted a little longer than that. We stopped at the main buildings and churches. He was very flexible in asking us if we wanted to go inside various places. We even walked through a small park where they were selling street food. He even asked if we wanted any but we declined because we knew we were going to have lunch. We also stopped at a Jade store for a while which was quite enjoyable. At the end, he described various places where we could enjoy some Guatemalan food. He also escorted us in and recommended some dishes. There is a lot of walking so make sure you bring your walking shoes, a hat and possibly sunscreen. It was a pleasure to have Adolfo as our host of Antigua!

Adolfo has a lot of experience. He was really nice and informative. He taught me many things about the city and the mayan culture and even shoed me some nice vegetarian restaurants

Diego was friendly, knowledgeable, and a fun guide to spend the day with. The tour was personalized to what the group was specifically interested in seeing. He gave me recommendations for restaurants and places to visit and helped me with my Spanish!

Diego was my guide and he was excellent. I ended up getting the tour to myself and he was very knowledgeable. He allowed me to go at my own pace and continuously checked in with me to customize the tour to my liking. I would recommend this tour.

Luis was my tour guide, and he had an in-depth familiarity with the religious history of the town. We walked to some key spots of the town (exploring everything would take several days), and Luis provided a rich understanding of every architectural element and history of the buildings. He also had great recommendations of other spots to visit around town.

Very interesting, informative and comprehensive city tour. Diego spoke English very well, answered questions and was a joy to be with during the tour. I highly recommend.

I was visiting Antigua for the first time and i wanted to get the most out of it. So I decided to hire a local guide and I’m glad I did! Diego Lee was my guide for the day and he did an amazing job! He took me all over the city and was very knowledgeable as he explained the history part of all the places he took me to. Highly recommend!

Louis my tour guide, picked me up from my hotel and took me around town. Louis was super nice and knowledgeable about the town's history. Would recommend if you have a few hours spend.

The historic core of Antigua is only about five blocks by five blocks square (although some sights, such as Cerro de la Cruz, fall outside that square). You can walk and explore the city on your own. However, hiring a professional guide makes sure you do not overlook interesting sights (such as the historic outdoor laundry) that you might have overlooked walking around on your own. Diego customized the walking tour to emphasize what I had not seen walking around on my own the previous day. So this tour would be great either as an introduction to Antigua, or to fill in the gaps of what you may have missed walking around on your own.

Diego, thebguide, made this tour amazing. He was very knowledgeable, personable and had such passion for his city, it made the tour that much better. We saw both tourist, local and hidden gem sites that really added to the tour.
