Hallo Freunde! Mein Name ist Victor Antonio Ruiz. Ich bin zertifizierter Reiseführer mit der Lizenznummer 423 des guatemaltekischen Tourismusinstituts und verfüge über 35 Jahre Erfahrung. Meine Spezialgebiete sind Architektur, Kunst und Kolonialgeschichte. Ich bin außerdem Ökologe und Naturliebhaber. Seit vielen Jahren führe ich Touristen durch diese wunderschöne Stadt und freue mich darauf, Ihnen die Geschichte Antigua Guatemalas näherzubringen – von der Ankunft der Spanier, die die erste Hauptstadt des Königreichs Guatemala gründeten, bis hin zu ihrer einzigartigen Vergangenheit. Gerne begleite ich Sie auf einem Spaziergang und sorge dafür, dass Ihr Besuch unvergesslich wird.
Victor was the perfect tour guide for our trip to Antigua. He is such a nice and spirited guy and we enjoyed his energy throughout the tour. He is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable about the city he's lived in for many years. His knowledge far surpasses what can fit in a tour, so ask the questions you want to know the answers to! For us, we really let him lead regarding tour stops and information topics and everything he took the time to tell us about was interesting and worth your time to learn. He talked to us about the history of the city and of Guatemala more generally including its relationship with Belize. He told us about the various landmarks in the city, the history of them and historical figures related to them, and how many of them have been affected by natural disasters like earthquakes over the past few decades. He also pointed out some excellent places to eat, get a snack, or get a coffee many of which we tried (and we loved each one we did). He even shared some great photos with us to take home via Airdrop! We would recommend Victor to anyone.
Victor was wonderful. He’a very knowledgable about the city. We can see that he’s been doing this a long time and still love it very much. He gave us a lot of tips about where to eat, to feel like a local. Gracias amigo!
This tour started 15 .ins before the stated time so best to arrive Very early An easy and shortish tour around a couple of blocks in the historic centre
Victor was an excellent and enthusiastic guide who presented the history and architecture of Antigua in a concise and interesting fashion. We really appreciated everything he told us and also the pictures that he sent after the tour. I would highly recommend this tour if you come to Antigua. It is a gem of a city and when told in his words , it made me happy that we came to this beautiful city.
