5.00My husband and I took this tour with Vick and enjoyed our day. We were staying in San Pedro, so it was a nice way to explore two other villages (plus San Pedro) on Lake Atitlan. The tuk-tuk rides were fun, and I especially enjoyed the lancha to Santiago. The tour was a bit more focused on shopping than we expected, primarily in San Juan, but I really enjoyed visiting a women's collective for weaving. We also visited a church in each of the 3 villages, a market, a park with a cool sculpture of the lake and its villages, a bee farm, and a chocolate factory. I think the tour could benefit from a little more information on the history and culture of the villages, but overall it was a nice way to spend the day and I'm happy we did it.
Great tour with a kind and knowledgeable local guide

5.00We really enjoyed this private day trip to the Atitlan Indigenous Villages. The tour company was accommodating as we stayed in Santiago Atitlan and the guide and private lancha met us there. It was a full day tour. We visited San Juan and San Marcos and then returned to Santiago. We most enjoyed visiting the Women’s Textile Cooperative, the bee hives and walking through the streets learning about the local communities. An impromptu stop was at the community outdoor covered gym and we looked at the beautiful artwork along the walls. We most appreciated our guide who knew nice cafes to stop and have a beverage with good views, arranged the Tuk Tuk rides and private lancha for us so we never had to wait. She was 21 years old and was very kind and spoke great English.

5.00We had an amazing tour with our guide, Lupe, around Lake Atitlán. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the diverse cultures and pueblos surrounding the lake. She also explained the lake’s ecosystem and the volcanoes that shape the landscape. Throughout the trip, she ensured we were comfortable, adapting to our needs with great flexibility.
