Winston Cuk was our guide on this trip and was excellent. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything and answers all your questions. I highly recommend Winston Cuk and hope that I will have the opportunity to go on another trip with him.

Great way to spend our last day in Guatemala
Dixie_G
, Apr 2022
We had an afternoon flight back to the U.S., but we had the morning free. Luckily there was this option to book a quick tour of Guatemala City. We had already toured around Antigua and Tikal, so this was our last day to get a dose of Guatemalan history and culture. We were greeted by Adolfo at our hotel. We were fortunate to have him as a guide in Antigua, so it was really nice to see him again. He toured us around the main tourist sites of Guatemala City, including a new development in the town of Cayala. Cayala is a modern development of shopping and residential. It felt more like Southern California meets Europe. It didn't feel like Guatemala anymore, but it was interesting to visit nonetheless. The tour was a mix of driving around the city with time spent walking around as well. Adolfo even bought us a quick snack by Palacio Nacional. Our tour was completed in 3 hours - with just enough time to get a coffee before heading to the airport. If you have limited time, this is a great option!

I had booked a tour for 10am. Unfortunately, I took a turn for the worst health wise the night before the tour. I suffered from a horrible headache, coughing and high fever. I was worried of exposure to Covid. I had to cancel less than 24 hours before. I didn’t ask for my money back only if I could reschedule for next month. It was agreed since I paid 100 US dollars. When I went to reschedule they asked to charge me twice at 200 for a 3 hour tour. I asked for no money back only to compromise and reschedule. I would look for a company with better service. This seems suspicious.

Dear Kimberly The cancellation policy said that you can cancel and recevied a refund 24 hours before the start time of the tour in this case you cancel 45 minutes before your tour, the driver and the guide was 10 minutes from your hotel, we access to a discount and we did not received any notice from you since Monday until today by this via that makes us look like we want to charge you the full amount without having had more communication, We are really sorry for your anger but the policies are very clear regarding cancellations.

I really enjoyed being with my guide, who was cheerful and friendly. The tour was a fun and educational one, and I learned many new things about the city. We had an enjoyable stop in a cafe and bakery, a beautiful stop for a panoramic view, and a stroll down a lively pedestrian street.

Great Tour

I booked the tour only a few days before my trip to Guatemala City. The booking was easy through Viator and communication regarding the logistics through What's App seamless. I received updates on the arrival of the driver to my hotel and an overview of the tour. What I specifically enjoyed was the wealth of information my guide gave as well as the willingness to answer my questions about the tour and about culture in Guatemala City, in general. The tour isn't long, which I greatly enjoyed, because it gave me an overview of sights to re-visit on my own. Highly recommend. Note: If you are a solo traveler like me, and the tour doesn't have more than one person booked, they will ask (not assume) if you'd like to pay for another ticket because of a minimum of two persons are needed. In my case, I had a private tour so I paid for two tickets when all was said and done. I didn't mind because for $64 total, I had a private car, a private guide, and personalized attention.

I enjoyed the chance to feel safe walking around the historic section of the city. The Avenue of the Americas and Plaza of Berlin were good bus destinations... only thing I would have changed was there should have been an opportunity to have a drink in the restaurant where Che Guevara and Fidel Castro met to plan revolutions... especially since there were mariachis playing when we walked in. Liked the Cathedral we were blessed to hear a children's choir singing there and the market.

I think the trip could be improved with a couple of stops on the Avenue de Americas. We drove past and could not really appreciate the monuments. The tour ended after 3 hours when it mentioned 4 hours on the itinerary. The walk around the market was enjoyable...local craft and produce looked fantastic.

The tour guide was great and van was brand new. The only difficulty was that we were with a Spanish speaking couple so everything was said in both english and Spanish back and forth the whole time. The content on the tour was a little dry. I can’t say I got too excited about much in Guatemala City.

The driving and walking tour was approx. 2.5 hours, not 4. Juan Pablo provided insights into the history of Guatemala as a whole and the main plaza, markets and statues in Guatemala City. It was a good overview. Next time, I'll have to make time to eat at the El Portal restaurant.

We enjoyed a delightful afternoon touring around Guatemala City with Juan Pablo. His knowledge of the city and his enthusiasm was boundless. He was engaging and very informative. We went to see a part of the Berlin Wall that was a gift to the city, as well as visiting two historic churches all while getting a history of the city.We also to a local food/flower market which was quite beautiful and then ended our tour at an artisans market where we were able to shop and browse around for over a half hour. We were picked up at our hotel on time, driven in a very clean, air conditioned van. If you have the time, this is a great way to get both an overview of the history of the city and a chance to get to a few hidden gems that you would not find on your own. Book this, you won't be disappointed .

We were looking forward to this FOUR HOUR TOUR, which, in fact, only lasted less than TWO HOURS! Our tour guide, Winston, was very nice, but lacked a bit of the "up graded" history, such as "Christopher Columbus discovering the Americas"-that has been proven wrong a few years ago. Not worth our $

peter s
, Oct 2016
While Guatemala is a stunningly beautiful country with a rich Mayan cultural tradition and amazing architectural sites the capital Guatemala City is unremarkable. Before the organized tour I took the local bus into downtown - a sprawling network of shabby little streets. Apart from the historic square in Sixth Avenue with its neglected looking cathedral and presidential palace, there is really little in the way of architecture, parks or fine squares so typical of Spanish speaking nations. So while the tour guide was very pleasant if you have more than just a few hours between flights to fill, you may as well just get the local green busses to downtown - as most hotels are a few miles out from the centre.
