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.

Amazing time exploring Lake Atitlan - Well-organized trip. The tour guide picked up from my hotel in Guatemala City and dropped me off after the completion of the tour. During the tour, Rubin did a get job explaining the various stopping points and answered all of my question. This full-day tour was worth it.

Nice touristy day with a great guide - It was a lovely day with a great guide, as expected from the description. It was also very, very touristy. San Juan La Laguna was nice and colorful with the main market street, and we got to test and try a few light activities. We then went back to Panajachel for lunch in a regular place and walked in the street with few tourist both. Sadly, I was hoping for some off-road/surprise experience. Guat2Do Travel - Please consider how to add "Spice" to this trip, something local. Notes: - It takes two hours from Antigua and three hours from Guatemala City to get to the lake. - You will go on a fast, jumpy boat for about 20 minutes to cross the lake.

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.
