Central Highlands Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

What a fabulous workshop! With a little museum about jade attached, the session was informative, creative and great fun! And what a bonus to bring home your own special piece of jewellery. Loved it!

I had the best experience and would have done it again if time permitted. Our group had Ethan as our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about Guatemala. He brought a great energy to the group!

The city is a real gem - I can’t emphasise how lovely it is. The tour gave us a great insight into this marvellous place.

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our experience at Casa de Jade! We started with a short, 10-minute tour where we learned about the history of jade, and then went straight into creating our own jade pieces.Everyone was very attentive, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire experience. We had such a great time and really enjoyed making something unique to take home with us.I highly recommend this experience!

This is an incredible and once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our guide was incredibly patient, informative, and kind. We encountered some difficulties finding the location, but when we reached out to the receptionist, she was incredibly knowledgeable and provided excellent customer service throughout the entire process, from check-in to the tour itself. I must say, I wasn’t prepared for the altitude, as I did experience a bit of altitude sickness. However, our guide was incredibly patient and understanding, and I was able to complete the tour. Just be prepared for the cold, as it can get quite chilly. Our guide was so kind that he even let me use his jacket so that I could make it through the rest of the tour. I highly recommend booking this company!

A nice tour of Guatemala City - showing all the sights with an English speaking guide who was very thoughtful, adjusting the tour to our interests. We got a very good insight into the city and the rhythm of life.

Incredibly informative tour. We learned so much and really feel connected to the city now. We especially appreciated the part of the tour inside the central market, as there were so many items we wouldn’t have recognized. Can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend this tour!

Great tour with Roberto who was incredibly knowledgeable and funny. Brilliant way to get a better sense of Antigua and its history. The visit to the house of Jade is a bit of a waste of time however

This is a way to learn about the culture and history of Guatemala. Our guide was quite informative..

Our tour started off with a stop for breakfast at a a cute spot to ensure we were fueled for the long day ahead. Our guide, Pedro, was informative and accommodating while ensuring there were opportunities to comfortably explore the various areas on the way and during the tour. Once we got to the attraction, Pedro continued to share fun insights from the herbal plant and throughout the tour. We experienced every presentation offered, the chocolate making, weaving demonstration, and honey and bee presentation as well as having an opportunity to go up to the lookout. Pedro also took excellent pictures of us at the key stops. We loved everything about this experience, it was a long day, but it was well worth it. Even my 12 year old was thoroughly engaged the entire time.

We had the BEST time ever. One of the best experiences

My husband and I had such a good time on this tour! Our guide was fantastic. If you're on the fence, book this tour. It's totally worth it!

Our guide, Jamila, is ex-pat that has fallen in love with the people and culture here in Antigua. She took us to 6 different places in town and all with an incredible story and delicious food selections. By the end of our time together, I felt a beautiful and warm connection with Jamila and could really appreciate her fondness for this amazing town.

Very much worth the drive from Guatemala City! As a solo traveler, I was fortunate to have Pedro as my guide, and he made the experience truly memorable. I appreciated the fascinating history lessons, the introductions to local vendors, and the safe, comfortable transportation throughout the trip.One of the highlights was crossing beautiful Lake Atitlán, where the breathtaking views of the water and surrounding volcanoes were absolutely unforgettable. The scenery alone is worth the journey.What stood out most, however, was the kindness and warmth shown by everyone I met along the way. Pedro’s local knowledge and obvious love for sharing the essence of Guatemala made me feel welcome and at ease from start to finish. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Guatemala—it was a fun, enriching, and well-organized experience that exceeded my expectations.

Booked second week of June with two friends and absolutely recommend it! Luis Pedro picked up on-time and was an excellent guide. We met Roberto, a guide at the volcano, who took us to the base of the volcano, very patient and informative. The hike is definitely not for beginners, medium perhaps, but the views make it worth it. Lots of shade along the way.

Everything was wonderful. Beautiful day, great hands on tour guide! A bit short for our liking but we love it!
