Trips to Lake Atitlán, Chichicastenango Market and Antigua - I went on two excellent excursions with Gray Line Tours Guatemala. The first was to Lake Atitlan and Chichicastenango Market. The second was a full day tour of Antigua and the surrounding communities. Both trips had safe and well maintained spacious vehicles. Both had excellent tour guides and drivers. The price for either trip was an excellent value for a 10+ hour tour. Loved both!!

The tour guide was nice and the ride was clean and safe. However, we only spent about 30 minutes in Panajachel, which was very disappointing. We did not see anything else at the lake. The lake portion of the tour was basically walking to see the lake and that was it. We spent way more time at the Chicicastenango market.</p>

Boring - The tour guide took us to someone’s house to see how they make costumes, gave as a tour inside a hotel to see its decoration (!) only stopped for bathroom on the way to get there and on the way back that we could have a 5 min stop at Sololá he said no because there was no time. The cemitery in Chichicastenango seemed to me more interesting (different) than the market and he didnt even told us about it, we saw it when we started walking by ourselves. Panajachel has the lake with the volcanoes and that’s it. If you dont have a lot of time I suggest staying in Antigua or going to the Acatenango o Pacaya volcano to see eruptions.
