Wonderful Tour & Amazing Travel Company - Had a wonderful time with GT Business and Travel, they organized two tours for us, Atitlan which was amazing with a wonderful local guide who took us to three of the towns on the lake. We were able to learn a lot about the local Maya culture as well as how different outside cultures have mixed with Maya culture to create what we see today. Our guide Joel was amazing, knowledgeable, friendly and the trip would not have been half the experience without him. I loved beautiful Atitlan and my time there.
Additionally they also organized a day trip to Tikal which was also wonderful and well put together. we had a private driver and guide as well who made the experience comfortable and simple. We learned a lot about the region as well as got to climb the various temples throughout Tikal national park.
The company as a whole was great, well organized. Our main point of contact Byron was extremely helpful and communicative making sure that all of our private drivers were able to easily connect with us without hassle. Transition points during our trip were without any stress because of this.
We also had amazing private drivers during our stay. A special shout out to Marlon who made us feel safe, comfortable and also shared a lot of valuable information about the country which enhanced our experience as well. I would recommend the Atitlan tour as well as Tikal with GT business and travel and will be using them again when i inevitably return to Guatemala in the future.

The highlight of our trip to Guatemala - Our guide Lydia from Santiago (Atitlan) was fantastic! She showed us three very distinct towns, and really explained the rich culture of the indigenous groups around the lake. She was patient, knowledgeable, and such a kind person. Her tour was exactly what we wanted as first time visitors. She is truly a diplomat between two worlds… and was so proud to share her hometown and Lake Atitlan with us! I cannot recommend her highly enough. The highlight of our trip to Guatemala!

Amazing daily trip to Lake Atitlan - The daily trip to lake Atitlan and the surrounding Mayan villages of San Juan, San Pedro and Santiago Atitlan was absolutely worth it! Marlon, was not only a careful driver, but also a great storyteller. Once we reached Lake Atitlan, Roberto took over. Roberto, a native from one of the villages, was a great guide, too. Overall this trip is worth! 100% recommend!!!

Unforgettable Lake Atitlán Tour Experience! - Our Lake Atitlán tour was nothing short of magical. The stunning views of the lake surrounded by volcanoes took our breath away. The vibrant local culture and the warm, welcoming people made this an experience to cherish. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating insights about the history and traditions of the Mayan villages. Our driver was also exceptional, navigating the winding roads with ease and ensuring our journey was smooth and comfortable. Every moment was perfectly curated, from the boat ride on the serene waters to exploring the charming towns along the way. This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Guatemala. Highly recommend!

Beautiful experience - This was such an amazing experience…Beautiful views. El lago de atitlan was beautiful to say the least. Our tour guide was great and very helpful.
The tour involves a bus that picks you up from your hotel and takes you the the lake. There you meet your tour guide and take a boat around various areas in the lake. Lots of opportunities to shop, eat, etc.
This is an experience I’d want to do again.

Beautiful Lake Atitlán with an Exceptional Driver, Marlon! - We had an amazing time at Lake Atitlán, thanks largely to the breathtaking scenery and our exceptional driver, Marlon. He was fun, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable, with excellent English—far better than our tour guide. While our guide was a native local and clearly tried his best, the language barrier made it difficult to fully enjoy and understand the cultural and historical context. Thankfully, Marlon bridged the gap on our return trip, providing valuable insights and correcting missing details.
We also loved visiting a textile shop, where the lady’s engaging introduction was a highlight. Overall, the trip was good, but it could have been even better with a stronger guide. Huge thanks to Marlon for making it a memorable experience!
