Absolutely fantastic kayak & hike trip around beautiful Lake Atitlan with Domingo from Voltan Adventures. We booked a private tour for our family of 4 with 2 children aged 12... read more & 14. Brilliant time kayaking and swimming plus hike along the lake. Domingo our guide was fantastic - super informative about the lake & the flora and fauna, very relaxed and great company. This trip also included a boat ride to visit some of the local villages. Colourful San Juan La Laguna was a real highlight too. 100% recommend this brilliant local business

I found this tour company from a google search and with... read more in a matter of minutes I had talked to Pedro and he had my whole itinerary arranged. From airport pick up to a gastro history tour of Antigua to a hike up Pacaya, visiting Iximche, and kayaking and cooking lesson in Lake Atitlan, everything was amazing. Our guide Chay was kind and well planned. I can’t say enough! We will definitely be back again.

December 1, 2021My 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.

In March 2019 I for the first time visited Guatemala. Voltan adventures had arranged a 2-week itinerary based on my wish list of things to see and supplied a... read more car, driver and guide; this is of course a luxurious arrangement. I was met by a fabulous young Mayan nature guide, who not only knew animals and plants, but also showed and explained to me many beautiful cultural aspects of Mayan culture. Through him I met many local people and could visit remote villages and sampled much tasty local food. It was by necessity somewhat of a whirlwind trip. I was impressed by the flexibility by which the itinerary could be adjusted. I traveled in South America dozens of times over a 50-year period; this trip was among the most enjoyable and satisfying.
