About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Michael M0 contributionsMayan treasuresExcellent half-day tour… the anthropology Museum had hundreds of mayan artifacts thousands of years old. Our guide, Pamela, was extremely knowledgeable and an enjoyable person to be with. Pamela really made the tour a pleasure.Written 24 November 2024
- jlauren-950 contributionsFun, authentic experienceOur tour guide Zio was great, as well as the whole process. She picked us up from the airport and dropped us off at our hotel in Antigua by the end of the tour. This was a personalized tour so you tell the guide where you want to go. We did the 6 hour tour and she made lots of recommendations for what we would be able to do. We ended up going to a few nice places: el Palacio Nacional, Guatemala city market place, and el cerro de la Cruz en Antigua. Great experience! Would definitely do this again with a longer tour option.Written 20 October 2024
- menallw0 contributionsGuatemala City Half Day Private TourI don’t think a hundred words is enough but I’ll try to capture what I can this was one of the most amazing personal experiences one can receive. Esteban was my tour guide knowledgeable is an understatement. He’s a walking historian of the culture. The tour was well managed for half day, I was able to get a sense of the surrounding communities, local gems and lots of must see landmarks. The information was insightful and some of his personal experiences you can’t get from the handouts or on a solo tour. I had the pleasure to see their versions of the White House, a graduation in the court yard, loves the way it’s highlighted honoring both Mayan and Spaniard sides which is great to know the history. The central market was awesome and plenty of bargains for some keepsakes to take home you won’t find a lot of the authentic items at the airport. I can go on and on about the tour but I encourage you to try it for yourself.Written 10 October 2024
- ByronCortez8880 contributionsGreat TimeI had a very amazing time with my tour guide Esteban Calvillo. I sighed up for the 8 hour day trip. Esteban took me to the Kaminaljuyu and Iximche’ Mayans ruins. Esteban is a Great tour guide. Very smart and knowledgeable. He knows so much about the Ancient Mayans history. I highly recommend booking a trip with him.Written 26 April 2024
- 888Penny0 contributionsBespoke City TourI asked for a bespoke tour, as I couldn't find what I was looking for, and it wasn't a problem. My guide Esteban was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. We had to make a last minute change of plan and went to see Kaminaljuyu, which was fabulous, I didn't think I would have the chance to see it, and the weather was perfect. I highly recommend it, it really does help to have a local native who knows the roads, the history and the passion to deliver a great day.Written 20 April 2024
- Guide7998050 contributionsIf you are visiting Guatemala use this professional guide service! Highly recommended!Overall I highly recommend this company for a tour of you are visiting Guatemala. My wife and I had a private tour with Esteban Calvillo. This guide was very professional! He arrived on time and explained the Mayan history as we drove to Guatemala City. Our first stop was the Mayan ruins. Esteban has a passion for the Mayan history and gave us details as we observed several ruins within a historical site. We also observed Mayan ceremonies that were taking place onsite. Thereafter we went to the city and he gave us a personal tour of the governmental areas, shopping areas, and churches. Thereafter, we had an excellent Gautemalan lunch and headed back into Antigua. There we visited several historical churches, a convent, and the area view of Antigua with the mountains and volcano that can be observed from this point. Overall this was an extremely well designed tour and would recommend this to anyone visiting Guatemala.Written 6 February 2024
- lonniew7870 contributionsA Phenomenal Tour ExperiencePamella Lopez was a phenomenal tour guide. Her passion and her love for her country and the sharing of information and her knowledge made me feel immersed into the history of the Guatemalan culture. This was exciting, fun, and she made every minute amazing. Everything was phenomenal!Written 16 January 2024
- ralr990 contributionsAwesome introduction to GuatemalaThis was a very personized tour conducted by a very knowledgeable tour guide, Esteban. He was very passionate about the Mayan culture and provided a lot of information about the history of the Mayans, Central America and Guatemala. Overall the tour was very professionally organized, and I highly recommend it!Written 9 January 2024
- Heather H0 contributionsIf you have time - this is worth the trip.My tour guide Esteban was very knowledgeable and informative. It was a private tour so just the two of us. It was really nice to get a tour of the city and learn about the Mayan culture and ceremonies. It’s neat because our indigenous people (though different countries and cultures) are actually very Similar which I didn’t know until my tour with him. I appreciate the time he took to explain everything clearly and his English was great! Thank you for the wonderful experienceWritten 31 December 2023
- AmbsTV0 contributionsBrilliant day out!We had the best time on this tour, it wasn’t a sunset tour as we imagined & there is no longer active Lava but still brilliant. We first went to Pacaya and hiked with a local guide where at the top we had freshly cooked pizza! We then returned to the base and went into Guatemala City for a walk around the historic centre!Written 20 August 2023
- andrewwF9863SK0 contributionsFantasticOur tour guide Pamela was truly amazing. There is a lot to see in Guatemala City and it’s often passed up to see other great tourist destinations in Guatemala There is a lot of fantastic history to the country, and its people, who are among the friendliest we’ve encountered in all of our travelingWritten 28 March 2023
- betty982080 contributionsGreat Intro to Guatemala CityWe had a terrific overview tour of Guatemala City. Pamella was our guide and she was excellent in providing historical information, information about the government and current day trends and practices. The vehicle was lovely and we felt very safe. We got a very good taste of the city. Guatemala is a beautiful place with fantastic people. I highly recommend a tour with Native Tours and Pamella.Written 24 March 2023
- danakwhite0 contributionsGreat experience.Pamela was an excellent tour guide. She was fun and so knowledgeable and clearly loves Guatemala. We learned so much about the history of this beautiful country.Written 21 March 2023
- Gloria F0 contributionsWonderful, Educational Tour!We had a great time with Pamella as our guide. We even arranged for her to pick us up at the airport and drop us at our hotel after the tour. She was very knowledgeable and pleasant, and spoke good English. I highly recommend this tour as it takes you to so many interesting and historical spots in Guatemala City. We really loved the old ruins, the Presidential Palace tour, the Basiliscus, the market where we haggled over prices, and the fact that Pamella was willing to stop for us to get a geocache along our way.Written 15 March 2023
- N7119LTsusang0 contributionsPersonal DriverEdwardo was fantastic and it was my first day in Guatemala City. English speaking and considerate, he escorted me to the market, ate lunch, visited the Basilica and helped me exchange money. I explained what I was interested in and he took me to a Mayan Ruin, where I also got to observe locals conducting a Mayan Fire Ritual. This was so interesting to me and I feel he went over and above to help me understand the culture.Written 20 January 2023

Truly enjoyed our tour and our guide Esteban was truly knowledgeable and amazing. We visited all the amazing sites in Antigua, and he thoroughly explained its history. It was raining that day, and he kindly had an umbrella for us. He contacted us the day before the tour via WhatsApp introducing himself. Due to a festival that was occurring the day of the tour, he kindly asked if we wanted to leave a bit earlier, which of course we did. That was the best decision as the roads were jammed packed with traffic. He kindly adjusted our schedule in Guatemala City at our request. Highly recommend this tour.

First I want to express how lovely our tour guide, Pamella, was to be around and learn from. She made the experience well worth the price. Pamella was on time and the vehicle was immaculate. We went to a fantastic lookout point which had an amazing view of Antigua. Pamella was knowledgeable and shared great information about the town, the customs, and the people. I’ve been to Antigua before, but I saw many things that were missed on other tours I’ve taken. Time at the monasteries blew me away. I had no idea how they lived or the history. We had a chance to walk on the roof of Iglesia Merced. We stopped at several hidden restaurants and bakeries we would’ve otherwise missed had we been on our own. We also enjoyed the thorough tour of Guatemala City which gets a bad rap it no longer deserves. The visit through the main shopping area and the city market were my absolute favorite. This tour was about 8 hours and the time went by fast. Don’t hesitate to book this tour. You won’t be sorry you did. Happy Travels ☺️

If you are pressed for time, private tour of both Guatemala City and Antigua is a way to go! It was so lovely to learn about the history of both, do some shopping and create wonderful memories.
Quick tip: ask your tour guide to start early due to traffic in the morning and also possibly of rain in the evening. My tour started at 9:30 am and it was late because we hit some heavy traffic on our way to Antigua and also it started to rain after our late lunch in Guatemala City

Hello, I’d like to book a tour for next week but can’t find my hotel on the pick up menu. Do you pick up from Hyatt Centeic in Guatemala City?
