A Nice Day on the Lake

4.00The Lake Atitlan tour made for a long but interesting day. The three villages we visited on the trip were diverse and worth visiting. Our guide did a good job of explaining the history of the area and the people who live there now. The slight reduction in our rating of this tour is due to the traffic that we encountered on the drive from Antigua to the lake. It's not a reflection on the driver or the guide, but the travel time to and from the lake can be tedious.
Great day

5.00This was easily the best excursion I've ever booked. For this price you get a private transfer to Lake Atitlan, private guided tour throughout three towns, and a return transfer. The driver and guides were excellent. I'm writing this several months after the fact, but I loved each part. Pick this tour!

5.00This journey exceeded our expectations. Mario, our driver, to and from Antigua was welcoming, friendly, and attentive to our personal needs. Joel, our Mayan guide, was top-notch--friendly and full of good humor. Our interaction with Joel as our guide made this trip special and unforgettable. Being a Lake Atitlan native was a huge plus. He knew amazing detail about this destination and where to take us, making the most of tour one-day tour.
Lake Atitlan is a must!

5.00This your operator was fantastic. They offered us an earlier tour time so we could miss traffic and spend less time in the car. It was much appreciated and so considerate! Marlon was an excellent driver. He missed every single pothole. I’m not sure how he did it in the dark but he did! He told so many stories in Spanish that my family loved. He also spoke English. He took us for a nice breakfast. Then dropped us off to Roberto, who took us over Lake Atitlan to 3 different cities. We had a wonderful time!
Amazing experience
