This tour takes you to La Antigua Guatemala, a colonial gem that once served as the capital of the Spanish kingdom, which at its peak stretched from Chiapas, Mexico, to Costa Rica. The city was built at the foot of the majestic Agua Volcano and was abandoned after the massive earthquakes of 1776. Years later, the city was resettled, and today you can still enjoy the colonial charm of a protected city frozen in time, with remnants of the earthquakes that nearly destroyed it and the innovation that has transformed many of these ruins into some of the most amazing hotels, restaurants, and parks in the world. Your guide will provide you with information about the country, its people, history, and customs in Antigua.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
City Walking Tour by Chef David Farfan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antigua.
How much does City Walking Tour by Chef David Farfan cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Antigua usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does City Walking Tour by Chef David Farfan take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Antigua is not rushed.
Is City Walking Tour by Chef David Farfan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Antigua, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule City Walking Tour by Chef David Farfan?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is City Walking Tour by Chef David Farfan suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book City Walking Tour by Chef David Farfan?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Antigua can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Antigua and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does City Walking Tour by Chef David Farfan start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Antigua within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Antigua?
+
On Outty we rank every Antigua experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coffee and Gastronomic Bike Tour in Antigua, Antigua ATV Mountain Adventure, Antigua ATV Sunset Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Antigua?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Antigua?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in City Walking Tour by Chef David Farfan?
+
Included: Tasting a Guatemalan dish. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for City Walking Tour by Chef David Farfan?
+
The guide will meet the travelers in front of the main entrance to the Casa Santo Domingo hotel and monastery. The guide will be wearing identification and will introduce himself to the group to begin the tour. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is City Walking Tour by Chef David Farfan offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for City Walking Tour by Chef David Farfan?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is City Walking Tour by Chef David Farfan wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
