Walking tour - This tour was packed full of activities, we were never bored or sat waiting for the next event. The guides were very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about Mayan culture.

Great Tour! - One of the best tours I have ever taken. Pablo was a wealth of knowledge, had a great sense of humor, was helpful and patient. The lunch break was a highlight--scrumptious food and interesting conversations. Six hours of cultural immersion! Time well spent!

Great Lake Tour - Tour provides enough time at each site and you get to see a lot without being rushed. We saw two towns.

Worth every penny - 6/5 stars. Tour coffee, honey, textile, and chocolate makers all in 1 trip? Check. Already loved the tour but when a lady dropped her phone in the lake and the boat driver dove in after it (and it worked!) I was over top impressed. Kudos guys.

Great Experience - The experience was great and Jose gave a lot of education about the different areas we visited on Lake Atitlan. I loved visiting and learning about the artwork, traditions and rich history of the people. Such a beautiful and colorful place!! Jose was gracious enough to take pictures as I damaged my phone prior to this experience. I got to dress in traditional clothing and learn the syncretism present in the churches. It does require you to walk a lot, so be prepared by wearing sneakers. Ride in the back of the boat to avoid huge bumps.

Picture perfect lake tour - Our guide Juan Carlos was great. It was along day though and I needed to dip out of one of the visits in San Juan in order to get water. Great experience and you get to see two villages on the lake.

Beautiful sights but a bit taxing to me - Lots of walking up and down steep hills. Getting to the meeting point was a challenge. The tour was conducted in Spanglish, more Spanish than English but I was able to make it work. Would I do it again? Probably not.
