    We had used Helmuth for our Tikal Trip and we we not the least bit hesitant to use him for our small group. We were picked up from our Hotel in Antigua in a clean comfortable air conditioned van. Our tour guide was friendly and willing to share local information as we drove the 3 hours. His English was great. Upon arrival in Chichi he explained measures we could take to insure maneuvering through the crowded market so we would not get separated. he also provided a tour of the churches and cemetery near by. upon arrival at our hotel in Antigua he stopped and helped part of our party gather their luggage and transported them to their new hotel. can't wait to do it again

    I booked a private tour from Antigua to Chichicastenango during my solo trip. Helmuth was punctual, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He shared details about history, geography, and of course culture. He asked plenty of questions to tailor the experience. I had a wonderful time and can’t recommend him enough.

    I booked a private tour from Antigua to Chichicastenango during my solo trip. Helmuth was punctual, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He shared details about history, geography, and of course culture. He asked plenty of questions to tailor the experience. Because I like food and art, we made several stops at various stalls in the market, and churches that featured different relics. I had a wonderful time and can’t recommend him enough.
