My 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.

We 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.

Victor showed me around the lake villages and told me about the history and culture in a way I wouldn’t have picked up on my own. He was knowledgeable and chill, checked in on my energy level, and generally a very interesting person to chat with all day. Highly recommend!
