★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 288 reviews · 12 to 14 hours (approx.) · from $92Our pick

Review of the Lake Atitlan day tour from Antigua, with village visits, boat rides, Mayan culture, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“The tour ran smoothly. We were picked up at our hotel and shuttled to the lake where we had time for breakfast. Then we were off by boat to 3 different villages. The umbrella street was cool and we really enjoyed the honey and weaving stops. Many people said one day was too short but I think it gave you a taste of what the lake is like.”
