Need Antigua, Guatemala Shore Excursion Help

[dprlinde]

HELP!!! We are having a hard time choosing a shore excursion in Antigua, Guatemala. Due to the reviews we have read about how relentless the street vendors are, we have ruled out doing it on our own. Plus, we have read there are safety concerns. We will be going with NCL and have narrowed it down to either "Casa Santo Domingo & Antigua" or "Colonial Antigua". Can someone please share their experiences with either of these?

 

To tell you a little about us...we are not shoppers. We like to learn the history and do enjoy viewing the older architecture, etc. Thank you in advance!

We did not find the street vendors a bother. Both times we went to Antigua. the first time was a ship tour, and the second was Antiqua transfer on your own, and took a walking tour with a local US ex-pat. Very informative. It's a historic city well worth seeing. The vendors were local women with children trying to sell their local crafts. Very entertaining. Join your ROLL CALL and see if any others have tours planned.
