Hello! My name is Nestor, I am an entrepreneur, tourism professional and authorized tour guide in Guatemala. I specialize in organizing multi-day itineraries that include combinations of activities that are suggested according to your interests. For 21 years I've been exploring mountains, volcanoes, archaeological sites in the jungles, villages, cities and cultures and of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, and leading itineraries across Central America into Nicaragua and Costa Rica. I believe in tourism as a complementary way to impulse the development of local families and communities, and contribute to the conservation of the cultural and natural heritage of my country. The extensive knowledge I've collected from my diverse studies, and the experiences of traveling around 18 countries, facilitates flexibility in creating a tour to personalize your experience in this country/region. If you want me to suggest an itinerary to match your tastes and desires, consider it done. However, if you want more involvement in the planning process, I welcome the opportunity to assist you during the co creation of your trip. The tours are exclusively private, this means I don't accommodate various groups of travelers unless it's a special request of a tour operator, organization or travel agent. Send me a message and I'll gladly answer any inquiries. Looking forward to meeting you. Certified General tour guide, licensed by INGUAT (Guatemalan Tourism Board), license # 1092.

Nestor communicated very well before the tour, was waiting at the port on time with a visible sign. Nestor was extremely knowledgeable about Guatemala and all of central america. He was very well spoken, funny, we enjoyed an awesome day with him and his driver. We recommend Nestor to everyone who wants a unique tour away from all the crowds. Muchos Gracias Nestot

Nestor was ready and waiting for us we disembarked our ship in Puerto Quetzal. He was very friendly and responsive to our questions. We drove to the Center of the old City of Antigua in the mountains, and Nestor demonstrated an extensive knowledge of the local history and evolution of the culture. We visited a park overlooking the city and then we toured through several buildings of historical importance. We were taken to a restaurant and introduced to several dishes of the local cuisine, which were all delicious. We were returned to the port with plenty of time for some souvenir shopping before embarking back on the ship. We would highly recommend Nestor for a memorable tour of the City of Antigua.

My husband & I were picked up promptly at our port (we were on a Princess Cruise Ship). Nestor was our private guide & Luis our (excellent) driver for our day tour of Antigua. Nestor was very knowledgeable about his country and also exceptional in his information regarding Antigua. We enjoyed asking many questions & walking this lovely town with Nestor who has wonderful language skills in English, French & Spanish. We highly recommend this tour …ask for Nestor! This private tour is very price competitive with the ships larger (non private) tours!

We had a fantastic day with Nestor as he showed us around the old colonial town of Antigua, Guatemala. The mountain lookout overlooking the whole town with the volcano in the background was particularly special. Nestor was fun, courteous and extremely knowledgeable about the entire region. He made time for some snacks and even a little souvenir shopping. We would highly recommend him to anyone doing a tour here!

Nestor was terrific! He adapted the tour to our request and even researched a place in advance for us so he could take us there and show us highlights while keeping our timing on track. We had a special day filled with art, history, beautiful scenery, an amazing lunch with a view of the volcanos, and an afternoon ice cream break. The driver was so efficient and accommodating as well. Great day! Thank you Nestor.

His attention to detail made the day well-organized and pleasant. Recommend for a relaxed and well-guided exploration.
