Marlo and Joel have been amazing guides. Always with a smile and explaining everything in detail. A++
Wonderful experience! Our driver knew a lot and told us the whole story along the way. We stopped for breakfast in a beautiful place and excellent food. The car was very good and comfortable. The guide Joel was great and took us to all places. Very kind and always teaching everything. We're back safe and in good CIA. I recommend everyone! Just go! The place is beautiful and needs to be visited.
Excellent planning of the time, the activities, and the attention from the driver Marlon and the guide Lidia.
First of all, we didn't realize this was a private tour, which was a nice surprise. I suggest noting that in the name of the tour. We were promptly picked up at our hotel in Antigua the arranged time by Andres, stopped half way to Lake Atitlan for breakfast at a super cute lodge cafe. After that, we continued our way to the lake and met David, who was our tour guide for the day. We had a private boat and went 3 cities along the lake (San Juan, Pedro, and Santiago) while David guided us. We toured a chocolate factory, textile cooperative, and had a bee demonstration with honey tastings. We had lunch at an amazing place David recommended in Santiago and took the boat across the lake to start heading back to Antigua. David and Andres were friendly, knowledgeable, and friendly. I felt safe and it was nice having a private tour guide. I highly recommend this tour!
It was fascinating learning about the the lake and it’s history.
Our driver Mario was kind courteous and safe driver. Made the ride super easy. Joel our Mayan tour guide loves his job and it shows. Speaks three languages English Spanish and Mayan. Great young man. The towns were authentic and something you don’t see very often. Tuk Tuks everywhere and Mayan people all over. We had a great time!
The experience with the agency was very good; they responded quickly, the pickup was good, and the tour is recommended! They are very responsible and at a good price!!
Very personal and private tour. Transportation to and from was executed well. Nicholas was informative and passionate.
If you have a limited time to spend in Lake Atitlan this is the tour for you ! You get to experience the wholesome of Lake Atitlan in a few hours and it’s totally worth it . It is well organized from transport to exploration . Joel is a great tour guide and ensures that you are enjoying each moment of the tour . I would highly recommend.
Great trip! Long day but definitely worth it. We had a private driver and a private guide. You will not regret the trip. Beautiful day!
