My mom and I spent a fun day at the market in Chichi with Isaias as our guide and with our driver Ricardo. The ride from Panajachel to Chichi... read more took almost 2 hours but was extremely comfortable and smooth. Ricardo is an excellent driver and the SUV looked brand new and super clean.

The market is quite large and it was so much easier navigating through it with Isaias instead of trying to do so on our own. As we approached the center of the town, Isaias noticed that a Mayan procession was getting underway and we were able to follow it to the church where the Mayan brotherhood made their offerings. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we would have never found this on our own.
Isaias is extremely knowledgeable about the ancient and modern Mayan culture. It is apparent that he loves Guatemala, its nature, animals, and people. Both Isaias and Ricardo were fun to be with and we will definitely ask for both of them again on our next visit to Guatemala.

We also went with Isaias to several towns on Lake Atitlan. Rene, the captain of the boat did a great job and they were both very patient and helpful while we took our time shopping at the many art galleries, textile co-operatives, ceramic workshops, and other stores.

My mom and I only had a few hours in Guatemala City before our return back to the US. We knew that it wouldn’t be enough time to thoroughly visit the city but we wanted to get an overall feel for it. Well, we did! Our guide Vinicio and driver Josue made our short time in Guatemala City unforgettable. They both have really fun personalities and we got a great overview and history of the city while having a great time. Vinicio is a very experienced and knowledgeable guide that was able to answer all of the questions we had. We were so fortunate that Josue stopped on the side of the road just before we got to the airport so that we could see the active volcano erupt.

  We spent two days hiking around Lake Atilan with our wonderful guide and touring some of the villages. It was wonderful! Our guide spoke very fluent English and organized everything... read more perfectly. We learned a lot about the local culture, ate some wonderful food, and hiked really hard. Could not recommend this operator more highly.

  Good tours. The guides were always on time and super helpful. We did a tour of a couple towns and a sunrise hike as alternative to Indian Nose. Both trips... read more were well organized and interesting. Juan Carlos was very knowledgeable and friendly.
