5.00A perfect day trip! We started off with a comfortable (but long!) car ride to Lake Atitlan. Upon arrival, we met our guide, David, and had breakfast with a view. He was a wonderful guide who made sure we experienced all we wanted to see. We loved San Juan and Santiago. We opted to skip San Pedro so our kids could have time swimming in the lake. Would highly recommend this excursion. And if you go, hope you are lucky to have David as well!
Too cool!

5.00A must do experience. Yes, it's a long day and a fair amount of travel but it's worth it. The lake is beautiful, and the trips to the islands situated within it, getting a sense of how people live and work, and the history of both Guatemala and its people made this a great day. Rene, our driver and Joel , our guide , were fantastic.
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

5.00Our guide was wonderful and allowed us to customize the experience to fit what we wanted, which made it feel very personalized. We were able to see so much of Lake Atitlán in one day—the views were stunning. It was a memorable experience and I would highly recommend it.

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!
