I thought the boat tour... - I thought the boat tour was great, San Juan was my favorite, definitely a must-see. Coffee place recommended was great in San Pedro, and tour guide, Alex, was wonderful, truly amazing person and guide. I think the chocolate tour was kinda meh but the textiles was cool. Overall, I think this was worth the money and I would recommend!

See the towns of Atitlan with an amazing ambassador - From before the start of the activity, we were contacted by Kevin, the leader of our tour, who was a complete professional. He made sure to meet up with us at the meeting point and my sister and I were traveling with my mother for her 70th birthday. Kevin made sure that my mother was well accommodated as older lady as far as accessibility and mobility for the tour. The tour was excellent as Kevin was entertaining, well informed, very kind, and such an amazing ambassador for his country. He brought us to a great place for lunch, gave great recommendations for the rest of our trip, and made sure after our tour that we made it back to our hotel ok. We cannot rave about Kevin enough. My sister said that her favorite part of our trip was the tour with Kevin. If you take the tour of the towns of Atitlan by boat, ask for Kevin- He is the best!
