Antigua Guatemala Day Trip

Having picked you up from the hotel you chose when making your booking, we'll set off southbound for the city of Antigua Guatemala.

During the day trip, you'll explore the city and discover why it played such an important role in the history of Central America. We'll take in the Spanish Baroque architecture and admire the colourful façades of the churches and palaces.

We'll go on a walking tour of the city so we can see its main landmarks, such as the Plaza Central, the Cathedral, the Town Hall, and the Captain General Palace. Our guide will reveal the fascinating stories hidden around each corner of the city.

Next, we'll head inside a jade factory to see how beautiful jewels are made from this precious stone.

Our day trip will come to an end as we return to Guatemala City and drop you off back at the pickup point. This half-day trip will last 5 hours.

Full-Day Trip

If you'd prefer, you can make the most of your time in Guatemala and spend the whole day exploring Antigua Guatemala by choosing the full-day trip. This activity lasts 8 hours.

As soon as we get to Antigua Guatemala, we'll head to the Ciudad Vieja. We'll discover the colonial culture of the region where Guatemala's first capital city was located, which was later destroyed by earthquakes and floods during the 16th century.
