“An Amazing 10 day guided tour through the Guatemalan Highlands”

Reviewed May 14, 2016

My wife and I are in our early 60’s. This has been the best guided tour bar none we have ever had! From the outset when we began corresponding with our ideas for travel to Guatemala, through the various changes to itinerary, to the actual travel experience this organization gets the highest marks we can give. They were responsive to all our needs and requests. The itinerary was flexible, we never felt pressured or rushed. The guides at all of our destinations were top notch, very knowledgeable,and personable. We spent time in Antigua, in Acul, in San Pedro de la Laguna, and Santa Cruz. We hiked Pacaya volcano. We saw the Chichel waterfalls. We saw markets in Chichicastenango and Chajul. In Chajul we even discovered a new local museum. We spent time in Lake Atitlán and visited several towns around the lake. We traveled to a private nature preserve. And so much more. Special kudos go to Domingo Solis for all the time he spent with us traveling through the Highlands and teaching us so much about Mayan culture and customs. By the end of the trip these were not just our tour guides, they were our friends. One of the major highlights was the awesome birding experience in Santa Cruz and especially in Los Tarrales Nature preserve. Pedro is an amazing guide and a real bird whisperer. He got my wife to really enjoy birding photography. He did too good a job now her bird photos are better than mine!! I would recommend them to anyone interested in traveling to Guatemala.You won’t regret it.
