What our customers say
From travellers who visited Guatemala with us
“
We chose Guatemala over the more obvious destinations and it was the right call. It's raw, authentic, and the Mayan culture is still very much alive. We loved learning to weave with local women near Lake Atitlán. The only reason for four stars is that some of the road journeys were quite long, but the scenery made up for it.

Tikal at sunrise is worth the trip to Guatemala alone. Climbing Temple IV in the dark and then watching the jungle canopy emerge as the sun came up, with howler monkeys roaring all around — extraordinary. The rest of the trip was great too: Antigua's colonial charm, the Semuc Champey natural pools. Good honest food everywhere. Travelfab handled the logistics perfectly.

“
Guatemala was the most culturally rich trip we've ever taken. Antigua is gorgeous — the cobblestone streets framed by volcanoes, the colourful markets, the chocolate-making workshops. Lake Atitlán took our breath away and the boat ride between the lakeside villages was wonderful. We visited Chichicastenango market on a Thursday and the colours and energy were incredible. Highly recommend.
