Our tour guide, Ronnie (I hope I got that right), was amazing. He was super friendly and had great conversational skills. He even gave us a lot of history regarding the towns and how they’ve developed over time. He had great suggestions for food venues and things to do locally! Would definitely book again

Hello! Thanks for the recommendation and review,We are more than grateful that you chose us to carry our our San Juan on atv, a totally different but fun activity on the most beautiful lake atitlan,From the moment we introduced you to our guide with his charisma and kindness gave you all the instructions on how to drive the atv, so the tour began learning about the history of each picturesque town and the viewpoints that no one else knows about.
Amazing experience! So much packed into 4 hours but such an amazing immersive experience. We were even able to arrange a lancha ride afterwards to avoid the higher priced private ones!
It was a pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend to my friends and family. We travelled to a bunch of different places and learned more about the culture in Guatemala. We were able to take our time during the multiple stops and really enjoyed the views and presentation’s. Would 1000% recommend to anyone looking to learn more about San Juan La Laguna.
This experience was beyond our expectations. Sebastian, our guide, was super accomodating, he took all our pictures and happily chatted with all of us throughout the tour. We visited so many places within the tour without feeling rushed, and he showed us places (like the bee farm) that we would never have heard of otherwise. The views from the ATV were incredible, the ride was super fun, 15/10 experience and would recommend to anyone visiting the lake.
This was a really incredible way to experience so much in one tour! We not only got to ride and see the lake from all angles, but experience San Marcos + the nature reserve + swim (optional. dress accordingly!) + photo moments + cultural stops. The weaving and textile demonstration was really interesting. The honey and coffee “tours” were basically just gift shops, glad we did them as part of this instead of separately. We had a great time with our guide Yeshua. He taught us how to use the ATVs as beginners - seemed intimidating at first but was easy and so fun. He was also an amazing photographer. Would recommend!
Hello! Thanks for the recommendation and review,We are more than happy that you chose us to do our san Juan tour in a different way, wich is in atv, when we introduced our guide Yeshua with his kindness, he took care of giving you all the instruccions on how to operate the atv and the safety measures, throughout the tour Yeshua made sure that at each stop you could learn a little more about The town San Marcos and its magic, such as the nature reserve and a viewpoint overlooking the volcanoes of the most beautiful lake, Yeshu was in charge to took photos so that you could take home a beatiful memory
We had an amazing and super fun day! All of the stops were great and the views while we were driving were insane. None of the routes were very difficult so I wouldn’t worry if it’s your first time or you’re inexperienced. Also the guides are incredible so you are in very safe hands! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and very chilled, which meant we didn’t feel rushed at all and left learning a lot about Lake Atitlan. I would highly recommend this if you have the opportunity!

Simoon Tours absolutely delivered one of the most unforgettable experiences at Lake Atitlán. The San Juan ATV tour was next level-perfect mix of adrenaline, culture, and unreal views. Riding through the mountains, local villages, and hidden spots around the lake felt like seeing the real Guatemala, not just the tourist version. Huge shoutout to Nemy, our guide-honestly made the entire experience unforgettable. Super knowledgeable, easygoing, and made sure we felt safe while still having an amazing time. You can tell he genuinely cares about what he does, and it shows in every detail of the tour. If you're coming to Atitlán and not booking this, you're missing out. Simoon Tours does it right. 10/10 experience, would do it again without hesitation.
