Awesome experience on two wheels around the lake. Beautiful views and varied terrain including pavement, dirt, twisted, and small towns. Informative stops for coffee, chocolate, weaving, and ceramics. Recommend to all!
Smooth, scenic, and absolutely worth having a guide to cover ground 😏

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Smooth, scenic, and absolutely worth having a guide This motorcycle tour was an excellent experience from start to finish. Riding solo meant I had great flexibility, so We winged it perfectly, and Yeshua made everything feel smooth and natural rather than overly planned !! 💥 The ride offered an amazing mix of terrain and scenery—small towns, lakeshore riding, and mountain roads, all in one day. We took one route out, went partway around Lake Atitlán, stopped in Santiago for lunch in a chill setting + scenic, and returned via a different road, for roughly ±100 km total 🏁 The ride back was especially memorable, with a great balance of scenic sections and lots of sick twisties on the ½ back, clearly chosen by someone who truly understands riding and the area 🔥 Off course, road conditions weren’t perfect, with potholes along the way, but that’s just the reality of riding here. The motorcycles aren’t premium, but they were practically new, well maintained, and perfectly suited to the conditions, which is really all you can ask for 👍🏻 Big thanks to Yeshua for safely leading throughout the whole ride. His knowledge of the region is impressive - I could ask him anything and he always had an answer!!! You can ride this area on your own, but you’ll cover far more ground and get much more out of it with a guide like him 😎 Booking the guide was absolutely worth it and allowed me to discover scattered hiden 💎. I highly recommend asking for Yeshua if you're a seasoned rider !!

The motorcycle tour around the mountains and villages of lake Atitlan was a lot of fun! A good mixture of adventure and culture. As an inexperienced rider I was a bit nervous at first but ended up on a private tour with Yeshua (not sure about spelling) as the guide. He was very nice, accommodating and professional. He provided a lot of information, spoke perfect English and took nice photos and videos. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend it!
Great motorcycle tour of Lake Atitlan!

We had a great experience with our guide Sebastian! He was a very chill, friendly guy and we thought that the balance between riding and stopping to see things was perfect. The actual ride had lots of fun twisties through the mountains and along cliffs above the lake, about 10% off-roading which was exciting, and some riding through towns. As a newer rider with short legs 😆 who is not accustomed to lane-splitting and so many steep hills, it was definitely a bit challenging but Sebastian was very easy to follow, patient, and good about signaling slowing down/overtaking. For my boyfriend who is an experienced rider, it was easy but still engaging and fun. Our favorites were the weaving and chocolate demonstration. We never felt rushed and every viewpoint we stopped at was gorgeous! Highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic time! Such a great way to see the various towns of Lake Atilan. Pedro our guide was super friendly and made sure we had a safe and memorable experience. Highly recommend if you want to do something unique. I have driven an ATV a few times before but even a novice should feel safe. The terrain was easily manageable and our guide kept a slower pace to ensure safety.

Loved the entire experience. Easy to book through link and use credit card. Motorcycle was ready to go with full tank of gas. Full face helmet fit well along with some gloves for added comfort. My guide spoke fluent English along with Spanish and knew other languages as well. He was very helpful assessing my skill level during first section of road and traffic. We rode to first stop with short overview and coffee unique to that location. We discussed plans for next stops and rest of day. We decided to make short stops at chocolate and ceramic locations. I wanted to ride as much as possible with the comfort of my guide knowing where to go, when to slow down and when to stop for a snack or lunch. We visited each location and I loved the twisty, curvy relatively smooth roads in most places. There were few small sections involving off roading on fine powdery, dusty dirt roads with some rocks. We rode thru little towns and covered a lot of area during the 6 hours. We stopped around 12:30 to 1:30 for nice relaxing lunch at restaurant with very good food. Finished the last hour and half returning to Panajachel at 3 pm. It was a full day of riding with great photos and conversation with Nehemias (Nemi) my guide.
Amazing moto ride!
