Joel - Tour Guide in Antigua Guatemala

Hi, I'm Joel, and I'm passionate about Guatemalan culture. Our training as tour guides takes several years, and we love sharing the knowledge we've gained, as well as the wonderful things our country offers, so that every traveler from around the world leaves with great memories and a positive experience during their visit. Art, history, architecture, photography, and gastronomy are all part of my interests and training when it comes to Guatemala. Likewise, I try to learn something new every day to share with each traveler on our next tour.

Response from Joel
Hello Rob, You may have had a background of the city upon arrival if you were interested in this tour, and the information provided was a complement to your experience.  We appreciate your observation. I always make sure to share details with the guides if I cannot host the activity so everybody can have a good experience. These tours focus on the background of the city and the highlights, but also there are other kinds of activities available if you are looking for more fun or a different concept of tourism.

The places and knowledge were great, many beautiful sights to see and so much history especially in the churches. The guides have plenty of time to stop and take it in,take pictures,and buy things along the way. The only surprising part was the fact that it is advertised as a FREE tour and at the end the guides said it was 100 quezals.

Response from Joel
Hello Kamerin, I always recommend checking and reading the full description of the tour prior to beginning the walk so we can avoid misunderstandings or an uncomfortable situation at the end of the activity. The concept of this kind of activity is "free of booking and cancellation, and the suggested tip according to the platform is $15 to $50 based on your experience and different factors." (Please double-check the description again). So after reading the description of the tour, if you do not agree, you can cancel it at any time. I ask the guides to kindly do this reminder if I cannot host the activity as well; consider that this is a profession and this is not volunteering or sponsored by any institution or the government, so it has a cost. I may say that you do not work for free, so please make sure to double-check the description. I hope you can keep enjoying your time in this country and consider that there are a lot of hardworking people, and they also invest their time and money as well to provide this kind of service.
