    This tour was really great and quite interesting! Melvin, our tour guide, was able to share many stories, facts, and details. He had answers to all our questions and really made us feel welcome throughout the tour. Iximche was quite beautiful and surprisingly serene. The ride to Iximche was pleasant and scenic as well. Would highly recommend doing this tour!

    The driver from Antigua was excellent ( Julio) as was Melvyn,our guide at Ixcimche. It was a great half day trip, nice little museum that Melvyn took us around and good information about the site, which was cool. Julio was super helpful with a travel problem that came up ( not related to this trip) an example of how friendly & helpful these guys are.

    Me and my parents had such a greag experience on our Iximche ruins tour - right from pick up through to the guided tour of the ruins. Our driver Julio was lovely and really helpful, going above and beyond to support me with some last minute travel arrangements after an upcoming transfer cancellation! Our tour guide Melvin was really knowledgeable, giving us detailed overview of the history of the Iximche Mayan city, and answering our questions along the way. Couldn't recommend enough!

  • Excellent tour, don't miss this one!

    Our tour guides Erwin and Hugo were absolutely the BEST!!! They were both so smart and knew so much history and details, which is exactly what we wanted to hear. Bonus, they were very funny too and made the tour most enjoyable.

    Our tour guide Hugo was amazing and made the experience excellent for us. He was so knowledgeable about the history, traditions, and culture of the area, and had a great sense of humor! The site is peaceful and not crowded. We got to observe a fire ceremony. The drive in through the town is also beautiful and a great place to stop for a drink/snack.

  • A great experience

  • Poor value for money. Interesting time on site.

    My wife and I had pre-booked this tour before we arrived in Guatemala. We were due to be picked up from our hotel at 8 am. No one came to pick us up so I headed up to reception and they called the tour operator. We were assured that our driver would collect us soon. He eventually turned up at about 8.25 am. There were only the two of us on the tour, so we were taken to the site by car. Our driver had limited English and so it was difficult to obtain much information on the journey. Our driver seemed to be travelling rather faster than the posted speed limits. We reached Iximche and we were introduced to our guide, Balam. Again there were just the two of us for this part of the excursion. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the various plazas within the park, and he explained in detail about what happened in each area. We were able to witness a fire ceremony taking place. After 45 minutes he left us and we were able to wander the site and the tiny on-site museum at our leisure. We were there for about 2 hours in total. We were then driven back to our hotel in Antigua – again there was very little input on the part of our driver. My wife and I paid over £150 for this excursion and we consider it to be poor value for money. The entrance to the site is just 50 Quetzales - around £5 per person. As such, it proved to be a very expensive ride to the site.

  • Great Day Tour to the Iximche Ruins

    My dad and I really enjoyed our visit to Iximche and Tecpan. Erwin picked us up from our hotel in the morning and throughout the drive, telling us about Guatemala on the drive to the ruins. He was very attentive and it ensured that we enjoyed the entire day, including the drive. The ruins themselves were amazing, and the guided tour was very interesting. They are definitely worth visiting during a trip to Guatemala. We then visited the local village of Tecpan before having lunch and returning. Great day, would recommend the company!

    This was the highlight of our visit to Guatemala. Erwin and his team were extremely attentive, polite and professional, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying the tour. We loved the Mayan Ruins of Iximche and we also enjoyed our time at lake Atitlan. I recommend this company hands down.
