Avoid this company! I fell very ill the day of the tour. I was aware of the cancellation policy. I had a high fever, headache and was concerned about my exposure to Covid. I text the company and asked could I reschedule for next month since the tour was 100 US dollars. They were kind enough to agree. I picked up another Guatemala to do the tour. After many texts, they were happy to take me on the tour. Then I received a message asking me for more money. It would be 200 US dollars for a three hour tour. We had established I would be back and they seemed happy to make up for lost time. I wanted to be cautious due to Covid. I have gone on tours all over the world. India, Peru, Columbia, NYC and Rome to name a few. This seemed suspicious. Save your money.

Erwin was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! He is extremely knowledgeable and definitely has a passion for his city! He even recommended and joined us for an extremely delicious, traditional Guatemalan meal. We not only had a blast on our tour, but also gained a life long friend. I highly recommend taking a tour with Erwin.

For Spring Break, my family of 4 traveled to Antigua, Guatemala. We were lucky to locate ViaGuate as our transportation and tour provider. Hernan, the owner/manager, was very responsive to our needs throughout our travel. Alejandro, one of his tour guides, spoke very good English, provided excellent tour services, and even provided great local recommendations for shops and restaurants. We used ViaGuate for our airport transportation services as well as private tours of Picaya Volcano, Monterrico Beach, Lake Atitlan, and the Iximche ruins. I would highly recommend ViaGuate and all of these tours. Thanks again Hernan and Alejandro for your excellent service!

I heard about this travel agency from a few friends that I’ve met while staying at Yoga forest. We all needed a shuttle from San Marcos to Antigua. They offered pickup from San Marcos but we elected to get the pick up from Panajachel. The person managing the WhatsApp hotline has been amazing. Even on a Sunday she/he replied very promptly and answered all the questions and concerns we had. I would highly recommend them!

A surprising great day thanks to our tour guide, Gustavo. He was very knowledgeable of Guatemala’s history and flexible with itinerary. He took us to a great spot with local cuisine for lunch. Highly recommend.
