Underrated city

Everyone should take a tour of Guatemala City if they have the chance, and preferably with Ckriss Hengstenberg! The tour was well-organized, and the guide was incredibly friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with him :)

Incredible!

This tour was amazing! First I could find Ckriss easily even though I didn't have my phone. He hosted me with a bottle of water which was super thoughtful. Then we had a nice walk in the streets of the center, Ckriss knows so much about his country and the city that I learned a lot of stuff! He showed me very interesting places that made me want to see them again the next day. Definitely worth it!
