We were able to experience Guatemala City in a way that would not have been possible without Vito’s guidance. The hidden arcade and oldest pub and wonderful bookstore were delightful discoveries. His interest in architecture added to the experience. Communication was good. Insider insght into Guatemala City

After the tour was confirmed, Vito asked to move the tour for 1 hrs later. Then he confirmed new time and shortly after that said he can't make it and offered somebody else. I declined this offer because I didn't want to deal with Vito anymore in any form or shape.Cancellation of the confirmed tour

Hassan is a food expert. He curtailed our outing for us, with children, and made sure we got a sampling of everything we wanted to try. He also introduced us to new foods and gave us an interesting history and story behind the culture and the food. I would 100% book with Hassan again, and by the end of the night I felt like we were friends! Amazing Experience

Hassan was fun, kind, a good listener and a wealth of information. He met us at our hotel with bottles of water, and took us for a long walk in zone 10 - we had told him that we like to walk. It was our first day in Guatemala City and he kept us safe from crazy drivers and patiently answered all our questions and told us about the city. I highly recommend Hassan.Long walk and a wealth of informatiom
