Review of the Chichicastenango and Iximché day trip from Antigua, with Mayan ruins, market tips, pricing, timing, and honest drawbacks.
“The best part was to visit the Ixmiche ruins. Chichicastenango and the market are not worhted the time you spent on the bus. Would be great to have a trip that goes to the ruins and perhaps the lake.”
Explore Chichicastenango’s Mayan market and Iximche ruins on a private Antigua day tour with transport, water, and a local guide.
“Chichicastenango is a fascinating, bustling town steeped in rich Mayan history and culture that have stayed alive over the centuries despite Spanish colonization. The market is chaotic and beautiful simultaneously. The hand-woven textiles are absolutely incredible. The colorful cemetery is so unique and tells an intricate story. The tour, guide and driver overall were great. The pyramids are simpler than others, and not as old, but interesting to see and a nice reason to break up the drive.”
Review of the Chichicastenango day trip from Antigua, covering the market, Santo Tomás Church, cemetery, mask workshop, transport, and value.
“Reflexionando, considero que el precio del Tour es muy alto para sólo ser el transporte (sin guía y sin almuerzo). De regreso nos llevaron nuevamente a Antigua, pero con otro conductor. El regreso se sintió bastante inseguro. Este conductor, a diferencia del primero, tomaba las curvas muy rápido en una carretera que ya de por sí ya es bastante peligrosa por el número de curvas cerradas o con barridos de más de 120°.”

“O melhor passeio na Guatemala para se ter contato direto com as tradições maias, ainda vivas em Chichi. O guia deu excelentes explicações sobre a cultura local, enquanto andávamos pelas ruas do mercado, pelas igrejas locais. Em Chichi vi a força do sincretismo religioso e tradições indígenas pulsantes e vivas! Passeio imperdível para quem vai à Guatemala!”
Explore Chichicastenango Market, Santo Tomas Church, Lake Atitlan, and Maya villages on a practical two-day trip from Antigua.
“Honestly I would not do this tour again. It would be easier to book in pieces by yourself. I thought that it was a group tour that stayed together for the two days but it isn’t. After the allotted time in chichicastenango I went back to the shuttle and found out it was going back to Antigua not Panajachel and so I got dropped off on the side of the road to a different shuttle. Day two of the tour ended up going smoothly but day one was a mess. Would all have gone much smoother if the company communicated ahead of time - wasn’t concerned when I thought everyone…”
