Bicycle Tour Around Lake Atitlan with Weaving Coops and Coffee Plantations

The ride was not easy - great exercise - with rewarding cities like San Marcos and San Juan to explore and excellent eating and coffee stops. Loved our guide, Mario, and all the places he took us. He was especially wonderful with our 11 year old son.

My son and I rode with Marcelino from Jaibalito to San Juan. The bicycles were in great condition and Marcelino was a considerate and knowledgable guide. The road was steep and rough at times, but he patiently walked with us when we needed to dismount from our bikes. I wouldn't recommend this trip for someone who's not in fair shape. It was a great way to see a lot of the areas around the lake without noisy and smelly tuc tucs or speedboats. We very much enjoyed the visits to the weaving cooperative and chocolate factory in San Juan. Highly recommend

Very tough to write a review when we had so much fun and at the same time the tour did not complied with our expectations. Let me explain, On the plus side Mario was an awesome guide, very attentive and well versed in the local customs and traditions, positive attitude and very friendly, the town of San Juan is wonderful, many very entertaining activities to enjoy. On the down side, bicycles were in terrible condition and one of our party (we were 6) could not participate in cycling because tour operator did not provided an adequate bicycle for her small size even when days before the tour we were asked about our measurements (weight and height), ¿why did you asked for this information if you where not to be careful to provide appropriate-sized bicycles? In the end our friend had to skip cycling and go directly to the town of San Juan.
