Basic Tour to Tikal Includes Transportation and Guide Service

Janet_H, Apr 2026

Wonderful tour

We did the 4:30 am trip to Tikal from Flores. It was well organised, and Jose was a very informative guide. We entered the park after buying our tickets at 6:30 am. There was a restaurant and bathroom stop at the park gate. There are other bathrooms located by the ruins within the park complex. No need to feel desperate, if that is a concern. It was a good temperature for enjoying the sights and wildlife within the park.

Private Transport - From Guatemala City Airport/hotels to Antigua

Aanya_P, Apr 2026

Great Experience - Reliable and Punctual.

We had a great experience with this private transport service and would highly recommend it. Valerie was extremely responsive on WhatsApp and made the booking process very easy and seamless. The cars were clean, drivers were punctual, and everything ran smoothly. We especially appreciated that they accommodated a stop on the way from Antigua to Lake Atitlán. Our driver Gustavo Rivas was fantastic, very friendly, engaging, and shared a lot about Guatemala’s history and culture during the drive, which made the journey even more enjoyable. Jose, who drove us from Guatemala City to Antigua, was also wonderful and very pleasant to ride with. Overall, a really reliable and enjoyable experience. Would definitely use them again.

A perfect day trip! We...

A perfect day trip! We started off with a comfortable (but long!) car ride to Lake Atitlan. Upon arrival, we met our guide, David, and had breakfast with a view. He was a wonderful guide who made sure we experienced all we wanted to see. We loved San Juan and Santiago. We opted to skip San Pedro so our kids could have time swimming in the lake. Would highly recommend this excursion. And if you go, hope you are lucky to have David as well!

Stress free. Absolutely worth it.

Extremely punctual and had great communication with the owner the entire time. We used this company twice in our trip and were never let down.

Hobbitenango & Antigua Shared Day Tour

Howard_W, Jan 2026

5/5 Amazing Experience in Antigua + Hobbitenango!

This tour was absolutely one of the highlights of our trip! Our guide, Ruben, was incredibly knowledgeable and super accommodating from start to finish. He made everything feel easy, comfortable, and fun, and you can truly tell he loves what he does. Hobbitenango is such a beautiful place, and it completely lived up to the hype. The views are unreal and we got so many great pictures there. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to take your time exploring because every corner feels like a photo op. What made this experience even better was getting to explore Antigua with someone who really knows the area. Ruben shared so much history and local insight that we definitely wouldn’t have learned on our own, and it helped us appreciate the city on a whole different level. Overall, this tour was the perfect mix of sightseeing, culture, and fun. If you’re visiting Antigua, I HIGHLY recommend booking this!

Walk Antigua Like a Local

Adriana_B, Oct 2025

A Superb Introduction to Antigua

This is a great tour to help get aquainted with the city and begin to understand the history of the land. Our tour guide was Roberto and he spent several hours walking us around and giving us lots of information not only of the places, but if the architecture, food, and local culture. I couldn't recommend this more. Wear good shoes because tou will walk a lot.

This experience was very easy. Saul was my driver and he was amazing - he was waiting at the airport when I landed. The instructions were clear and I received several WhatsApp messages guiding my process until I finally met Saul. I felt very safe and taken care of -he offered to stop for coffee food and to use the restroom. I was impressed by the level of professionalism service and the great condition of the van

Pacaya Volcano Hike from Antigua

Chekesha_G, Sept 2025

Hiking and horseback riding Pacaya Volcano

Unforgettable experience! Much more challenging than I expected. I’m glad the “taxis” (horses) were an available along the route. Riding horseback partway up Pacaya made the climb easier while still taking in stunning views. Hiking across lava fields and roasting marshmallows over heat vents was surreal. A must-do in Guatemala — magical, humbling, and unlike anywhere else.
