Awesome experience - The village tour on quad bikes was fantastic!! It was such a great way to experience the local areas and villages. Our tour guide, Lester, was fantastic - informative, friendly and always made us feel safe. We were a group of 7 with 2 younger kids and the tour was perfect for all of us. All the stops were fun and informative , and we loved whizzing around the countryside in quads.

Jade, Cocoa, and Villages Views: A Fun ATV Day Around Antigua - We booked Simoon ATV Tours during our Guatemala trip, and it turned out to be the highlight of our adventure. The experience took us through villages around Antigua, with a memorable stop in Ciudad Vieja to visit a jade manufacturer and learn about traditional jade crafting, followed by a chocolate education center where we explored cacao production and tasting. The food was 1000% authentic and delicious. Danilo Jose Jose was phenomenal—very patient and passionate about his job. Our guide spoke excellent English, shared fascinating local insights, and kept the pace just right for our group.
The route offered a perfect mix of excitement and scenery—lush forests, rolling hills, and stunning views of distant volcanoes. We paused at a lookout for photos and a quick break, which was a nice touch and gave us time to soak in the landscape. The overall experience felt well-organized, with a smooth check-in process and reliable transport to and from our hotel.
Great value for money and a memorable way to see a different side of Guatemala. Tip: wear closed-toe shoes, bring water, sunscreen, and a small amount of cash for tips or snacks at breaks. Highly recommend booking with Simoon ATV Tours for an adrenaline-filled, scenic adventure.

Older person on a quad - At first we were uncertain if this would be difficult for us. We are 60 something after all. We went with Eric. He was a wonderful guide. He made sure we were safe and took the time to make sure we had a good times. We Did many activities. I highly recommended this tour. Our other people accompanying our group were a bunch of young kids, we all had a good time. For being the rainy season, the weather was great.

A letdown - The guide was good. The only stop that was hands on was the first stop, where we learned about chocolate making and products they made from the loquat fruits. That was interesting, but the rest of the stops seemed like a ploy to buy products. The jade factory wasnt really a stop- they explained how they distinguish jade from other stones and that was it. The stop for the tortillas was just free samples- nothing about how they actually make them. The last stop had more of an explanation on textiles, but was mostly time to shop. There was also an hr long stop at a restaurant, which we did not know about. Overall, this experience was a let down. We were hoping to have more hands on experience and learn about the culture, as opposed to just shopping trips, especially for the price. I would not recommend.
