5.00I had the opportunity to do a tour with Francisco and Hannibal and honestly it was one of the best experiences I have had in Guatemala. From the beginning it was punctual, friendly and very professional. You know deeply the history, culture and traditions of the villages around the lake, which made the tour not only beautiful, but also very enriching. Their energy, patience and willingness to answer questions and help at all times made the day perfect. He took us to spectacular viewpoints, recommended authentic places to eat and always made sure we felt safe and comfortable. 100% recommend your service. If you visit Lake Atitlan, taking the tour with it is absolutely mandatory. Also transportation from Guatemala City with Rolando was excellent, 100% recommended! Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

5.00This tour was absolutely amazing. Everything was so well organized and so well thought out. The itinerary flowed perfectly, and ending the day with hot chocolate was such a special touch that really wrapped things up on a high note. Our driver was also very professional, and even with the language barrier he went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable during the ride. The whole team really exceeded my expectations and logistically the day couldn’t have gone any better. A very special mention to our guide Nicholas. He was nothing short of outstanding. His knowledge, patience, and friendliness truly made the experience unforgettable. ❤️
10/10 Experience!

5.00The tour of Lake Atitlan was impressive. En route we visited the towns of San Juan, San Pedro and Santiago, where we could admire its streets, its people and appreciate its culture which keep well rooted. Friendly and industrious people. Wonderful experience.

5.00Knowledgeable guide, diverse activities, organized well, Mayan and local history focused. Good way to see multiple towns and learn about the lake in one day.
Watch out!!! Very aggressive guides. They forget about the Tourist side and are dedicated to doing business with everything.

1.00There are very nice villages around the lake, although for the price they charge there is a lot to owe really. The guides are very passive-aggressive, especially one named Jose, who touched us to guide us throughout the day, his aggression is regarding the subject of the “obligatory” times and places that forces you to enter, which are obviously not Top-rated in each of the villages we visit You don’t have time to see anything, which they don’t want to show you because they don’t give you free time between the tours. Use such aggressive phrases as “if you behave well maybe later I’ll give you about 10 minutes off to see what you want” (WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU WE’RE NOT YOUR PROPERTY, WE’RE GOING FOR A GUIDE SERVICE TO A TOUR WE PAY FOR AND PRETTY EXPENSIVE) FOR WHAT IT REALLY IS) It repeats again and again in a very aggressive tone that you do not buy from the artisans who are in the places we walk, and it is super obvious that they do it because they take you to the places where they have agreement, they get to sit and drink in what they put other local people to give you the explanations of the place and not even water invite you throughout the tour There were people (women) who asked to go to the bathroom and the very aggressive guide could hold on for about 10 minutes until he reached one of their places The very aggressive guide speaks ill of you with the locals for not wanting to buy excessively expensive crafts in the places they make you enter There were several moments when my wife and I felt very very uncomfortable to the extent that we already wanted to finish the tour and leave the place. When you are in a place that you do not know and especially in a country that is not yours it is very scary that being such an aggressive and local guide you do not know what they can do to you. The only rescue of the Tour was the operator who took us to Lake Atitlan (where the tour went) and back to our hotel. Luis a very friendly person and with a lot of knowledge, in fact during the road trips he was explaining everything we were not explained during the tour (which was supposed to be for that). How sad that this kind of thing happens being that you go to another country to meet new places, cultures etc etc. I wish someone at @Tripadvisor would do something about it and give us back what they charged us to experience one of the ugliest days my wife and I have ever lived during a vacation
Gorgeous

5.00We had reached out to Fabio to schedule a boat tour on the lake and he scheduled everything for us. We were picked up by Nikolas and his crew from our hotel dock and spent the whole day going to three different Pueblo’s and learning about their history and different products that come from them. We got to try honey wine and artisanal chocolate and see how the women of the area make beautiful textiles. We had a blast and the weather was beautiful the whole time.
