Gonzalo was an excellent tour guide. He made sure everyone was safe and having fun! He was also great with explaining to us the sites and a little bit of history about our stops. I would definitely recommend bringing a jacket or windbreaker, I messed up and didn’t have one, although Simoon tours suggested it.

So good! It was a cloudy day but we still had an epic time traveling around through villages and the countryside on the ATV’s. And my guide went above and beyond to help me find an ATM after the tour. Highly recommend. Thank you!

Great stops and information along the route. It was too cloudy to see a good sunset but still worth it. You won’t regret it.

The highlight of our Lake Atitlán adventure was definitely the ATV tour! We’re so happy we went; it was my first time driving my own ATV. I was a little nervous at first, but then I got really excited. Our guide, Sebastian, was fantastic, making the whole tour smooth and safe. The views were absolutely breathtaking and totally worth every moment.

Driving through the streets was fun, and the mirador has a great view. We felt the second half of the tour when visiting the nearby town was the best part, however. Everything was timely and they were communicative in the lead up to the excursion on any questions.

This was such a great time. It started raining in the middle of the tour but that did not deter us. Our guide Pedro gave us ponchos and we kept riding. Would recommend this experience. We were able to see so much!

We had Nemy as a guide, and he was great to us and the other couple on our tour. The ATV ride was beautiful, and he got a really nice video of us riding. Even if you have zero experience with ATVs, this is a very manageable ride. Definitely recommend

This was such a fun experience - we traveled a lot on the ATVs which let us see so much of Panajachel, with the most incredible views of the lake. The stops along the way were breathtaking and so interesting. Would absolutely recommend.

WONDERFUL trip through some of the towns around Lake Atitlán. Tour guide Gonzalo was outstanding and really took the time and effort to make the trip the absolute best it could be. I actually didn’t even get to do the Sunset Tour (due to harsh rain the day before), but I guarantee the experience would be just as amazing if not better than the Towns Tour that I got to do. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Response from Host, Jun 2024

Off roading in all that dust - exhilarating and scary at the same time. The guide was great and because of the time of year we didn’t see a sunset as it was too cloudy. Great experience!

This was an awesome experience. We loved every minute. Our guide Nehemias might have been our best Viator guide ever, and we have done many viator tours all over the world.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
We will let Nehemias know he did great:).. nice compliment for him! Thanks for joining us on the sunset tour at the lake and thank your for leaving a review!
Andrew_F, Feb 2024
It was a great experience. We got to see the volcanoes from a lookout and see a small town and the culture there. My one recommendation to someone doing this is to make sure that you bring a face covering and sun glasses. It gets dusty at points and you will want a way to cover your face.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Hello Andrew!
we are happy that you had a great experience , i hope you can comeback soon!!

Thank you for your review! We hope to see you again!
Renee_A, Dec 2023
This was one of the best things that I've ever done on a trip. The road to the viewing point was lush and green which gave it an extra special feel. The trip was even better for me than the destination.
The tour guide was friendly and patient. This was my first time riding, and he made me comfortable by allowing me to ride for a minute before we took off. I felt safe the entire time.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thank you for sharing your experience! Glad to read you enjoyed the beautiful lake and ATV tour!
Shaoquan_L, Dec 2023
This was our first time ride on a ATV. Our guides Petro and Carlo were very good teachers, but for our safety we did not go to the top of a mountain but visited Santa Catarina Palopó and the hot spring nearby, and San Antonio Palopó, there we had a tasty hot chocolate and watched beautiful Sunset. Petro and Carlo are very nice and friendly. It is really a pleasure to travel with them. They are very careful about our safety and lead the way in a safe speed and constantly watch the traffic behind us. At the end we almost became "expert" ATV raiders.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Hello Hello!
thanks a lot for you kind words , im glad that you enjoyed the tour with them !! i hope you can comeback soon!!
Jerri_J, Sep 2023
The tour was amazing! The guide was very helpful in explaining how to ride the atv before we went and always made sure to look back at me to ensure I was doing okay. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Very good company and staff!
