Amazing experience! Loved Hobbitenango. I would’ve preferred the tour to be in the morning instead of afternoon to avoid the rain but it was great nonetheless.
Very professional, getting to know the towns of my own country.
Well, the trip was fun, 10 out of 10.
The experience was good, 10 out of 10.
We had a fantastic day, so informative. Alex was an excellent guide, loved all the towns, demonstrations and tastings.
The guide was knowledgeable and spoke good English. Breakfast was pretty useless. The first town was amazing. Liked the bees experience and demo of handloom. The umbrella street was picturesque. Second town - we had chocolate/coffee making demo which was great. There wasn't much else to do. Third town - we had great lunch. There was street full of vendors selling souvenirs. Boat was very rocky.
Poorly done tour. Breakfast was a zero. After the bad breakfast we checked out the lunch spot our guide Rosa recommended and saw it had a low rating: 3.5, so we wisely went elsewhere. Worst part was when we split to do a self guided option were we told to meet back at the dock at 3:30. Our guide was late and made no attempt to tell us. Half hour later after pleading with tour company to let us know what was going on was told indirectly “she was coming”. Very rude to just make us wait without any attempt to communicate about it. We take these day trips all the time this one was sub-par.
Dear customer, We are sorry that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that the traditional Guatemalan breakfast included in the tour is clearly described in the tour information and consists of eggs cooked to your preference, refried beans, cheese, fried plantains, fresh fruit, and coffee or tea. We understand that every traveler may have different tastes and preferences. Regarding the delay at the dock, the wait was approximately 25 minutes due to an unexpected traffic accident in Santiago Atitlán, which was outside of our control and affected the group’s return time. While part of the group participated in the pick-up tour activity, you chose the self-guided exploration option, which is also part of the experience. Our team remained in communication and informed you that the group was already on the way back. The safety and coordination of our travelers is always a priority for us, and we will continue working to further improve communication during unforeseen situations.
