Our guide, Miguel, was on time and a kind hearted good man. He seemed knowledgeable, but his English was poor and we were unable to learn enough to make the trip worthwhile. We had many interests and questions about the history and culture of the communities around the lake. It was our understanding for $110 per person that we would have a guide who spoke good English. We were disappointed.

Our day spent with Miguel was so lovely. He took us to see interesting Mayan demonstrations of textile weaving, harvesting honey, and making coffee and chocolate. He taught us about Mayan history and culture and was engaging and flexible with us all day. One small miscommunication was that our lunch was supposed to be included, but at lunch we were told we had to pay for our own drinks. In the future, it would be helpful to make this clear to travelers ahead of time for transparency.

We had a great time with Joe. He was really nice and we were the only people on the excursion. I def recommend. We ended up skipping one of the towns since it was just another church, but the end was great with great shopping.
