Winston is the best!
He is extremely knowledgeable and was able to provide historical context on almost all aspects of society. He was patient and let us go at our own pace. He also gave the best traditional food recommendations.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a nice review about your experience with Winston, our tour guide, and your tour to Lake Atitlan.
We love to read messages like this where all the love we all put into this is noticed by our visitors. I am pretty sure that Winston will love to hear about you and the great time you had during the tour.
He is a very experienced tour guide with a specialization in history. He is an important part of our team too.
I am glad you could visit the cultural towns around Lake Atitlan and enjoy their traditional food.
We hope to see you soon to show you more places in our beautiful Guatemala. Please take care!
Absolutely beautiful day!

Ruben was a wonderful tour guide! He is very knowledgeable about Guatemalan history. We got to see so many beautiful cities that we wouldn’t have made it to on our own. The boat ride on Lake Atitlan was very rough/bumpy. But it was worth it because my boyfriend proposed at the lake, and Ruben took some amazing photos of us!
Response from Host , Mar 2022
Hello McKenzie! First of all, I want to congratulate you on your engagement! I wish all the best for you and your fiancé. I bet Lake Atitlan was a magical place for that beautiful moment.
I am glad that Ruben was there to take you some photos and that you both could discover the little Mayan towns around the lake.
We hope to be part of your future adventures in Guatemala again. If there is anything you need in the future like transfers, tours or accommodation, don´t hesitate to contact us, we will be happy to be there for you!
It’s the guide that made it awesome

I think what made this tour awesome was the guide who is really educated and has degree in history plus is set to become archeologist. He taught us the differences between the Mayan region clothes, showed us how churches have incorporated local traditions, showed us little artisan shops of chocolate, painters, co-op of weavers… we took a couple boat rides to reach separate towns on the lake. We also went to eat at 2 amazing restaurants.
Response from Host , Dec 2021
Hello Marianne! I hope you're doing good and wish you happy holidays. Thank you very much for your comment regarding the cultural tour on Lake Atitlan. Rubén, our tour guide will be glad to know how satisfied you're with his service. He is very educated and prepared to deliver an outgoing service.
I am glad to know that he explained every detail of the culture of the towns you visited.
Please stay safe, come back soon, and we'll be happy to tour you around Guatemala with the promise of delivering outstanding service from beginning to end.

We`re happy to know that this was a great experience for you and that you enjoyed the locals, the colorful streets, the culture, and the landscapes.

Good once in a lifetime trip

Great tour to see the Atitlan lake and some of the surrounding towns. The lake and scenery is gorgeous and worth a full day trip to see it at least once. It takes about 3 to 3 1/2 hours to get there with a breakfast stop and about 2 1/2 hours to get back to Guatemala City. It’s not to bad if you are traveling with someone. Watch out for the Shannon visit in one of the towns. He will try to hustle a couple Quetzal out of you for visiting the place of worship.

Great tour where you got to feel like a local riding the taxis boats around the lake to different cities on the lake. Such a beautiful day learning about the culture!
Response from Host , Apr 2021

Mi guía Rambo fue excelente, me explicaba muy bien y me llevó a ver la ceremonía de maximon. Y su acompañante Elizabeth una gran persona. Ambos apasionados por su vocación de ser guías.

Tour muy normalito para el precio!
En primer lugar me recogieron casi una hora tarde y tuve que ponerme yo en contacto con ellos para averiguar qué pasaba. Fue un problema en la carretera, ok eso puede pasar, pero la clave es informar, sobre todo cuando uno madruga y está esperando.
Después de eso, y el tour especifica que incluye agua embotellada, pues nunca me dieron ni una simple botellita de agua, y tuve que comprar varias porque estamos hablando de un día copleto con 4 horas de coche más todo el día andando bajo el calor! Así es que muy mal por la organización.
Lo mejor del tour fue mi guía maya Elena! Un encanto que me explicó todo estupendamente, involucrada en mi comodidad e intereses y me recomendó según mis peticiones. Un 10 para ella!
Si no hubiese sido por ella le daría menos estrellas al tour!
Gracias
Las vistas del lago con los volcanes detrás sin duda son preciosas, pero los 3 pueblos que se visitan, al menos para pasearlos en un rato como se hace en el tour, salvo algunas tiendas bonitas para hacer compras y que te explican un poquito sobre el cacao y los tejidos y otros temas, pues no tienen nada de especial, pero eso ya depende del interés de cada uno.
Response from Host , Mar 2020
Estimado Sr Antonio,
Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia con nosotros. Queremos que se sienta cómodo compartiendo buenas o malas noticias con nosotros. Lamento mucho que su experiencia en nuestro tour no cumpliera con las expectativas.
Estamos utilizando sus comentarios para hacer algunos cambios importantes como el asegurarnos de informar a los pasajeros con antelación si en dado caso hay algún percance en ruta y también lo importante de percatarnos que nuestras unidades tengan agua embotellada como prometido.
Con respecto a Elena, ella es una persona muy servicial y estamos muy seguros que gracias a ella su experiencia de viaje en el Lago fue mejor. Con mucho gusto le haremos llegar sus comentarios.
El Lago de Atitlán se presta para todos los viajeros, sus impresionantes vistas naturales con sus imponentes volcanes le da una perspectiva diferente al viajero, cada quien experimenta las poblaciones de diferente manera.
Una vez más pedimos disculpas por los inconvenientes gracias a estos comentarios estamos seguros de que mejoraremos en el servicio al turista y a brindar mejores experiencias de viaje.
Que tenga un excelente día.
