El lago de Atitlán y los pueblos de Antigua

Recomendado. Bus puntual, precioso lugar, linda gente y buena comida. Día soleado y apenas para recorrer los pueblitos alrededor del lago.

We loved our tour guide, Alex, but the transportation between Antigua and Panajachel was horrible. They were 45 minutes late picking us up in the morning. Coming back, we had no explanation about anything. We drove all around town and even stopped at a gas station along the highway to pick up more and more people until every seat was completely full. Most of the people driving back with us weren’t part of our tour at all. We were stuffed in the van and very uncomfortable. Our driver didn’t speak English and he drove at an unsafe speed, we were nearly hit by a bus at one point when we stopped in the road. I was grateful to get back to Antigua alive. I hated the transportation. I can not recommend this tour because of the transportation but again we very much enjoyed Alex once we got to Panajachel.

Efficient tour that gives a great feel for Lake Atitlan.

We enjoy our time at lake Atitlan. We would enjoy it even more if the boat was more comfortable and we could see the lake better while in the boat. The seats are so low you can barely see anything while seating.

Pick-up could have been better we drove around for nearly an hour just within a couple miles of my hotel and didn't pick up anyone. The boat tour and guide were great!

Initially I was skeptical about this tour as my driver was late picking me up from Antigua. He did not speak any English, so I trusted that the tour was valid as he knew where to pick me up. While on the bus, I spoke to a few women who indicated that they were headed to Mexico. I was initially alarmed as I was going to Lake Atitlan. One of the women offered to translate for me to the driver. He indicated that I would be dropped off, picked up by a taxi, and then taken to my guide. Once I knew this, I was fine. However, I did wish these details would have been explained ahead of time. I eventually connected with my guide who was AWESOME. He was so kind, so smart, just great. I was the only one on the tour that day and had a wonderful experience touring the various villages with him. It was a great tour and truly worthwhile. It definitely superseded my initial concerns.
