“Gonzalo was an excellent tour guide. He made sure everyone was safe and having fun! He was also great with explaining to us the sites and a little bit of history about our stops.

Ride horses across Pacaya’s lava fields, eat pizza cooked on hot coals, and watch sunset views on a private Antigua volcano tour.
“So. Much. Fun! Dave, aka Alaska, was such a treat! He was so knowledgeable about the amazingness of Guatemala and had such great stories to tell about Nikki (the owner of the animal reserve the tour is done through). What their organization is doing is truly inspiring and warmed my heart to hear how well the animals are preserved and cared for. Their work transcends beyond helping tourists see the beauty of Antigua. They are truly changing the lives of so many animals and it’s inspiring. The tour was a blast! And to eat pizza and s’mores made with the lava coals from the volcano?! Come on! And the pizza…”

“We had a great time at Tikal, our guide Roni was most attentive, polite and informative, he treated us so well! The site is amazing and a must do when in Flores or Peten. Lunch (included) was ok. All in all a memorable day. Oh and I highly recommend the sunset tour, the site is almost empty!”
Review of Tikal’s 7-hour sunset tour from Flores, with guided ruins, wildlife, air-conditioned transport, costs, tips, and drawbacks.
“We booked the Tikal tour with Tikal Express specifically because it was advertised as a small group (max. 10 people) experience. We ended up in a group of 23 people, the complete opposite of what was promised. If you’re looking for a genuinely small and more personal tour, this was not it. The mismatch between what was advertised and what was delivered was disappointing.”
Ride an ATV above Lake Atitlán, visit Santa Catarina Palopó, and watch sunset at Café Flor on this four-hour tour.
“El Tour en general bien pero no es la gran cosa , solo subes al mirador unos 15 o 20 minutos y luego la ultima parada es un Pueblo que tampoco hay mucho que hacer ni ver y es muy poco tiempo . Te pasas la mayor parte del tiempo manejando en fin no vale la pena lo que pagas”
Review of the private Yaxha sunset tour from Flores, with Maya ruins, lake views, wildlife, guide service, timing, price, and practical tips.
“Elmer is an exceptional guide, one of the best I've had in any country. He is passionate about archaeology in all cultures, a passion that goes far beyond the sites where he leads tours. If you have visited archaeological or architectural sites in other countries, you can exchange travel stories with him and you will find an excellent listener and audience. He is patient, polite, curious, and full of interesting facts about ancient Mayan culture. He taught me a few phrases in Spanish and I taught him a few in English, which made us both very happy since we are both always trying to improve. He brings cold water bottles…”
