“Simply a great trip! Hotel pick-up and drop off went flawlessly; once we arrived in Flores, our mini bus was new, very comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. Sergio, our Guide, and Oscar, our driver, were both great, and Sergio was very knowledgeable about the area and Tikal. Lucy was a plus as well! Overall well worth the money and a must do tour for anyone interested Mayan culture and life.”

4.Chichicastenango and Iximché Day Trip from Guatemala City

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 14 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $105

Review of the Chichicastenango and Iximché day trip from Guatemala City, including sights, timing, shopping, price, guides, and practical tips.

“Given the worldwide capacity, Viator is unfortunately unable to control all service providers ; This local travel agency, Guatemalan Adventure, profit from the extreme popularity of this world famous open air market, but their real objective is sparing a large free time in Panajachel to suggest various optional extra activities ! The guide made an extreme effort not to lose any guests in Chichicastenango (I got free strolling time by forcing him), and brought the group to an extremely expensive restaurant (but with no wi-fi facilities !) at Panajachel with no other eating option. Then, the rest of the time is for recommendations of optional extras. I have no objection…”
