Lake Atitlan One Day Tour from Antigua

Drew_H, Mar 2026

This was a great...

This was a great excursion that was relaxing, peaceful, and beautiful. We enjoyed perfect weather on a boat that zoomed across Lake Atitlan, then enjoyed a cacao tasting, honey tasting, and textile demonstration all in the city. The guide was very kind and informative, and we had some time to walk around and explore/shop.

Iximché Ruins Tour

Katherine_S, Mar 2026

Recommended!!

Great tour! A driver picked us up at our hotel for a semi-private tour with one other couple that we picked up on the way. Explored the grounds and learned about Mayan life from our native, English-speaking guide. Witnessed modern-day Mayan rituals that still take place at the site. Would definitely recommend if you can’t make it to Tikal, which was too far for us to travel on this vacation.

Guatemalan Cooking Class and Market Tour

William_G, Feb 2026

Best cooking class ever

We helped prepare a four-course dinner using local foods and recipes. Dario, the guide/chef first gave us a tour of the central market and purchased some of the ingredients for the dinner. We rode a chicken bus to the dining location just outside the city. Then we drank wine and chopped it all up. He and his assistants did the final preparation while the guests chatted. We were all dropped off at our hotels about 6 hours later. This was a wonderful experience, best cooking class we have ever taken!

The Antigua Foodie Tour

Dillon_G, Jan 2026

Some of the best food I’ve had in a long long time

Each place we went to we got a little history about where we were, the restaurant, city, and the food. It was just our group so it was very personalized and easy to make conversations. Each place the food was amazing, they even helped us get a reservation for later at a place we’d normally stop but was completely full. Absolutely would highly recommend!

Pacaya Volcano Day Trip from Antigua

Steve_S, Jan 2026

Awesome volcano hike!

One of our favorite excursions. Hiking up to the viewpoint at the base (?) of Volcan Pacaya with beautiful landscapes, and a stop on the way there from our hotel pickup to see Volcan Fuego belching smoke. At various viewpoints we could see all 3 other volcanoes and the different lava flows from recent pacaya eruptions. On the way home we drove by Volcan Agua for more great views and driving through neighboring towns. Our guides were terrific and knowledgeable and the private tour for the two of us made it all the more special. They were also patient with our hiking pace as we climbed.

Truly a SkyHigh adventure!!

Such a cool experience!! Highly recommend if you’d like to experience Antigua as a whole! Ethan was our guide and was so great!! Very knowledgeable about the city, thoughtful throughout it all and flawlessly captured every fun moment. He also had a “break check” on the ATVs to ensure safety! Seriously loved my time on the 9am tour!

Lori_J, Dec 2025

Good option for one day

It’s a long ride from Antigua, be ready! Streets are steep, wear comfortable shoes and be ready to walk some. Guides were great, offered Spanish and English. If you only have one day to visit this is a good way to pack a lot into it. Very touristy, not much nature, plenty of shopping if you’re interested.

Chichicastenango and Iximché Day Trip from Antigua

Matheus_A, Dec 2025

Great experience all...

Great experience all around. Oscar, our guide, was amazing. Knowledgeable, kind and generous, with an awesome personal history to boot. The driver was careful and we had no trouble during the trip. Chichicastenango had a once-a-year event going on ("convite", if I'm not mistaken), which meant it was jam-packed with people and there was a huge traffic jam. Oscar was able to make it work and we even got to enjoy the festivities! Really, I have nothing but positive things to say.

Acatenango Volcano Overnight Tour

Melissa_M, Nov 2025

One of the craziest things I have seen in my life

The hike to base camp is hard but totally worth it. Once we got to the base camp, the view was blocked by clouds but weather changes so fast and could see and hear the volcano. It is so impressive! The hike to Fuego is even harder and you will come back at night, but what an experience! It is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I didn’t go to the summit in the morning because I was too tired. The service itself was incredible. Axel, Leo, Lily and 2 other local guides were very careful, kind and professional. Such a good team. We felt safe and cared for at all times. They cooked for us and organized everything so well. Definitely take the free gear they have to climb and rent hiking sticks. Oh, and loooots of dogs to pet on the way 😍 Muchas gracias, it will stick with me my whole life.

Tikal Day Trip Including Round Trip Flights from Antigua with Lunch

Shalayne_B, Aug 2025

Antigua-GUA-FRS-Tikal & reverse- totally manageable and enjoyable

Wonderful experience! I was hesitant about the 1 day round trip from Antigua and back, however had already booked hotel reservations in Antigua and still wanted to somehow fit in a Tikal during this trip. It was a lengthy travel day, however manageable and all my daughter and I had to do was show up and everything was taken care of from the drivers, airline tickets, shuttles, tour group and lunch. We covered quite a bit of ground within the park and had enough time to explore on our own. We were in the park From 9am-1pm on a Friday in August and it was not crowded. I was actually surprised at the lack of crowds. The guide Luis was incredible, a true treasure to the park. He is proud of the site, very knowledgeable and you can see that bringing visitors also brings him joy as he shares it. He communicated to our group in Italian, Spanish & English. Our driver Oscar was steady, safe, efficient & hilarious. Really happy with this experience.
