An amazing tour! Totally recomended, we learned a lot about the mayan culture, history and deities. Salvador, our guide, is from Lake Atitlan, he is amazing, truly recomended. At the start, due to a confusion with the name of the hotel, the driver didn't pass for us. But Salvador made the arrangement with the company to give us a private shuttle few minutes after. So, it was great! Again, totally recomended. You have to walk a lot in the tour to enjoy it in fullness, so is not recomended for childs or old people.

The tour itself is great. The views of the lake, volcanoes and Mayan villages are spectacular. Upon arriving in Panajachel, it seems that in the office they are somewhat uncoordinated with all the tours, but they assign you a guide soon. Benjamin is a fantastic and local guide, with whom you will feel very safe and will give you a lot of useful information.

Had a great time! The tour was extremely organized, with on-time pick up from my hotel in Antigua directly to Lake Atitlan, wth a boat to take us between the various villages. Freddy was an awesome tour guide! And our driver was also very nice - we experienced hale on the way back to the hotel and he made sure we were safely taken care of.

Victor was great and provided a wonderful experience start to finish. He was right on time, got us to the summit before sunrise so we didn’t miss anything and was patient with us while we enjoyed the view. Highly recommend Victor for this activity!

Very good private tour, spanish guide Elena was amazing, many activities! Very recommended
