  Our guide Evenia was very sweet and she took her job seriously, giving us lots of interesting information about coffee, chocolate and weaving in perfect English. The coffee operation is very small and there was no coffee tasting as such, just an opportunity to have a cup of coffee. The chocolate tour was just a visit to a store, but we felt that the weaving demonstration was very professional. We enjoyed the walk through the hills and we’re glad we did it.

• An Unforgettable Journey Through Coffee, Culture, and Community – A Must-Do Tour with Victor

  Our coffee tour with Victor around Lake Atitlán — specifically in San Juan La Laguna — was so much more than a tour. It was an immersive, eye-opening experience led by someone with deep roots in the land, culture, and traditions of Guatemala. From the start, Victor made the entire process effortless. He was prompt, organized, and super easy to communicate with — coordinating pickup times and locations with flexibility and kindness, always keeping us informed and comfortable. That level of care set the tone for the experience to come. Walking through San Juan with Victor felt like exploring the town through the eyes of a local. He didn’t just show us the sights — he brought them to life. From the intricate art of Guatemalan weaving to the rich symbolism in the town’s vibrant murals, to the flavors and traditions of local chocolate-making, every stop was layered with stories, history, and meaning. His deep, authentic knowledge created a connection between us and the culture that we would never have discovered on our own. And of course — the coffee. Victor’s explanation of the entire process, from bean to cup, was both incredibly informative and deeply personal. He didn’t just teach us how coffee is grown and roasted — he shared what coffee means to the families, to the community, and to Guatemala itself. By the end, we had a whole new respect not just for the product, but for the people who produce it and the traditions that sustain it. Victor is a guide in the truest sense of the word: a connector, a storyteller, a bridge between cultures. He made us feel welcomed, informed, and inspired. If you’re coming to Lake Atitlán and want to experience it in the most authentic, respectful, and meaningful way possible — this tour with Victor is essential. It’s an experience we’ll carry with us forever.

  Victor was a great tour guide - very knowledgeable. A great 4 hours walking around San Juan from the coffee plantation to a honey bee farm and several other stops (textiles, art gallery, and chocolate factory). Very informative and well worth it.

  We had such a fun and relaxed day with Vic as our guide! From the moment he picked us up at the hotel, we felt welcomed—he was super friendly and spoke excellent English. Our first stop was a coffee farm, where we got to learn about the process of growing and harvesting coffee. We also had a chance to order coffee, the kids had iced chocolate. It was delicious! Next, we visited a place that taught us all about chocolate making, which was a fun and educational experience. Vic was great at adapting the itinerary to suit us, especially since we'd already visited some of the originally planned stops. He was really thoughtful and flexible, making sure we got the most out of our day. What made this day even more special was how chill and laid-back it felt. No rushing around or overwhelming schedules—just enjoying each stop at our own pace. My kids said it was their favorite day of the trip. We all had a blast, and I would highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxed, yet informative, day out!
