Half Day Antigua Guatemala Tour

At 14:00 Hrs., you will be picked up at your Hotel for transfer to Antigua Guatemala, the most important and enchanting city of colonial Guatemala.

Visit the Central Plaza, that is surrounded by the antique Cathedral, the Municipal Government Building, and the Palace of the Captains General; colonial churches and monasteries, primitive foot-looms where colorful textiles are woven, and a jade factory where this stone is worked into beautiful jewelry. In the afternoon, return to Guatemala City.
