“I really enjoyed this tour - our guide was really knowledgeable about the coffee and food as well as giving us an interesting insight into Guatemalan society. The cycling was not difficult and the bikes were a great way of getting around, meaning we could see the plantation, the coffee and chocolate museum and go to a couple of street food stalls in the time.”

“Roberto was an amazing guide, conscious of keeping the group together and being safe on public roads. The tour included so much, Cocoa, wine, honey and the sites all around Antigua and the outskirts. The driver’s skills going up and down the mountain to Hobbitenago were amazing. Lots of time there and great food. We were able to arrange transport to Guatemala City later that day with the same tour company for a great price too. Would definitely recommend!!”
Review of the $25 Tikal Sunset Tour from Flores, covering temples, wildlife, sunset views, transport, extra fees, and practical tips.
“Our guide Alberto the bird man was honestly one of the best guides we’ve had on a 6 week trip through Mexico. He was extremely knowledgeable and perfectly bilingual between Spanish and English which was great for our group. We didn’t have the best weather on our sunset tour and Alberto adapted the tour to make sure we didn’t miss out on sights and pictures despite the gloomy weather and lack of sunset. We later found out he’d already done a sunrise tour the same day yet he still had the energy and patience to give us a great experience after what must have been a very long day. Tikal…”

Ride an ATV from Antigua to La Azotea coffee farm, taste coffee and chocolate, and see the city from Cerro de la Cruz.
“The ATV quad bike tour was very good. We drove for 15 minutes up to Cerritos De La Cruz viewpoint. Then for another 15 minutes to the coffee plantation. The polite and enthusiastic guide gave a good tour of the coffee site and explained how it is made. We were able to try the coffee and afterwards were able to try chocolate. Then a 15 minutes drive back to the offices. So we had good time on the ATVs also which were easy to use and we drove on public paved & cobbled roads.”

Review of the Pacaya Volcano day tour from Antigua or Guatemala City, with hiking, horses, lava views, Calderas Lagoon, tips, costs, and practical advice.
“The driver picked us up promptly the morning of the hike and we drove to the starting point of the Pacaya Volcano! The hike was genuinely not that hard - our guide Louis wasn’t comfortable speaking English so we tried our best to understand what he tried to explain to us through the journey. We roasted marshmallows at the top - there was no pizza making at the volcano although it’s mentioned in the day trip description? As the other comments suggest, the guide does have a couple of dogs that walk all the way through the hike with you - so bring some biscuits to feed them! On our…”

“I cannot rave more about this tour. Highly RECOMMEND, please don’t hesitate to book this. Our guide, Jay Jay was super knowledgeable, engaging and well respected in the community. We went deep into the Guatemalan culture to some great restaurants and were welcomed by the lovely and friendly owners. He gave us access to a part of the culture that we wouldn’t have otherwise and for that, I am grateful. I would tour over and over again. Btw, the Chicken Bus ride was a wild but fun experience. I hope you enjoy. Kesha- NYC”
