An excellent tour - The trip led by Ruben Alonso was phenomenal. He told us the historical part of the place and noa took us on an unforgettable trip where we could meet local painters, how natural fabrics are made and, in addition, we tasted an excellent coffee. Recommended to travel with him, he sees that he loves his work and cares that the tourist enjoys his experience to the fullest. He is also very attentive.

Delighted with Guat2do GUATEMALA - The views were unique. Don Ruben 100000 out of 10, exceeded my expectations. Fuck the excellent driver. Both made a very good synergy and thus, they gave us an experience to remember for a lifetime and want to return soon.

Great service! - Great experience and very reliable service.Davis Barrientos was very helpful and well informative. Went beyond the way making our trip more enjoyable and took us to various scenic points to take stoning pictures. All the activities in the San Juan de la Laguna were amazing. Thank you Davis for everything and very well recommended to anyone visiting Guatemala.

Safe and pleasant! - I was guided by two gentlemen: a careful and discreet driver who drove carefully. A passionate guide and generous with information about Guatemala. I also had the privilege of meeting people from the country. It is a very safe tour with professional employees. I recommend it without hesitation!

Lake Atitlan Panajaxhal and Saun Juan boat ride - We went to Lake Atitlan. It was a 12 hr tour with hotel pick up and drop off. Our guide was Ruben and Miguel was driver. Both were very professional and knowledgeable with a lot of patience. We loved the back stories of all the towns and the goat ride. Restaurants that were suggested were great for breakfast and lunch. I would give 5 stars to this tour.

Horrible.. my husband was injured - Our tour guide was good. The boat ride portion of the tour was horrible. I could not have imagined that humans would be subjected to this. My husband cracked his tailbone from the slamming up and down on the boat. The Drivers drove recklessly and laughed. My husband screamed at them to slow down. This portion of the tour should be eliminated. We were not even advised on where to find life jackets in the event of an emergency. My husband was never even told what to do regarding his injury.
