Our best day in Guatemala! - This is a must if you’re at Lake Atitlan! Alex, our guide was the best! He is friends with everybody, encourage him to become the next El Presidente of the Republic! We kayaked and went hiking, jumped off a small cliff into the water, went shopping, eating, went to a honey bee farm. Clearly one of our best days in Guatemala! Also concluded the day with a really wonderful Mayan Cooking class. We cooked our dinner and learned a ton along the way. Winner, winner, winner!!!

Great Trip, Great Guide! - A great trip with Fernando, who was an awesome guide! The lake in the morning is placid and you can kayak at your own pace and the hiking back is challenging but doable. I would highly recommend to anyone who is active and wants to explore different areas of the lake.

Great adventure day - We had an awesome day with our guide who helped us kayak along the lakeshore, swim, and hike up to a delicious lunch in Santa Cruz. He made it personalized and flexible, and we had plenty of time to do what we wanted!

Great Combo of Activities, Nice Guide - Antonio was great. Just the right amount of kayaking, swimming and hiking, and ended up with a really great lunch (you pay), but the place he took us to was outstanding.

How many more hills? - Excellent excellent tour. 10/10. Edwin and Fernando were really knowledgeable. Learned a lot about local indigenous history and language. Patient and adjusted to the group’s pace. Bring suit and sandals for kayak.

Amazing day in Lake Atitlan - We had an excellent time with our guide Fernando, who was very accommodating, happy to answer all of our questions and helped us discover many local arts and crafts of San Juan (especially the honey and coffee place!). The Kayak tour was great and allowed us to take in the beautiful panorama of lake Atitlan. I definitely recommend if you’re around!

Adventure by Water and Land - Leading up to the trip, there were communication issues as to which day the tour was booked for, and I had to send confirmation pictures. We also had to change our time to accommodate another group or cancel. While on the trip, our guide was very energetic and excited to be there. We kayaked for about an hour, had coffee, then began the hike back to Santa Cruz that lasted just over 2 hours (have good walking/hiking shoes for this part). 2 of our friends that were supposed to go had to cancel, and our guide tried to make up for the experience by offering us different options to make up for the cost difference.
