Guatemala History Tour

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Guatemala City at 8 am and head to the old colonial town of Guatemala.

After approximately an hour, we'll arrive in the centre of Antigua Guatemala. Our first stop will be the Central Park, where we will see the Palacio de Los Capitanes Generales (Governor's Palace), the old city council, and San José Church, which was previously the city's cathedral. You'll have the chance for a photo beside the famous Fountain of the Mermaids.

Next, we will visit the Second Cathedral to admire its baroque facade and smooth columns. We will stop to sample a traditional dish at a local restaurant (not included) before heading to the modern city for a tour around Guatemala City.

In the modern district, we'll walk down the Avenida Las Américas to the city centre to see governmental buildings, including the Supreme Court, Finance Ministry, city council, and the Bank of Guatemala. We will conclude the tour at the Plaza Mayor de la Constitución near the Catedral Metropolitana.
