It was really informative, my first time visiting Antigua & didn’t know anything about the history. Mario answered all the questions, gave us information about places to eat, gave us recommendations and he completed the tour in a good pace. We were very pleased. Don Mario fue muy profesional y nos dio mucha información y recomendaciones. Quedamos muy satisfechas del tour
