Overall tour was good. We went to the market, went to a church, had lunch, then went to the lake then back home I wish we spent more time at the lake, lunch would've been better there. Our tour guide and driver was amazingly sweet.

Fun trip to the Mercado and Breathtaking Views of Lake Atitlan!

Juan Pablo was a great guide and Cubano was a fantastic driver! Juan Pablo was a wonderful guide! He taught us about Guatemala, the Mayan that live in this beautiful place, the customs and traditions of the Maya, and about the places that we visited. A guide book to Guatemala cannot give the personal information about a place the way that Juan Pablo gave to us. A visit to the Mercado is a must! The views at Atitlan are breathtaking!
