We booked this trip last minute and it was one of the best decisions we made on our trip to Guatemala. The tour guide was early, interactive, and provided a lot of history of the cities we visited. Would definitely recommend this tour, you won’t regret it.

My husband and I went on a tour with Juan Pablo. There is nothing, but positive things! He was an amazing guide; very kind, friendly and intelligent. Please ask for Juan Pablo when booking a tour :)

We attended a weaving class in the village at a place called Tinte Maya, a cooperative of women artisans. The ladies helped us make beautiful scarves in a lovely patio setting. They were so patient with us! It was a really great experience
