Antigua City Tour

As you stroll through the beautiful cobbled streets of Antigua, you will visit such highlights as the Church of St. Francis, the Central Plaza, the San José Cathedral and the Church of La Mercedes.

Your guide will explain the history of Antigua, how it was destroyed in the past by the nearby volcanoes, rebuilt and restored to the wonderful city it is today.

You may choose to enter and pay locally into various other buildings such as the Cloister of Santa Clara but you can discuss options with your guide on the day.

This is a very flexible tour, so if you have a particular interest, be sure to let your guide know.
