Guatemala Tours & Trips
Walking Antigua's cobblestone streets with those massive volcanoes looming overhead? That's Guatemala in a nutshell. You'll tour coffee plantations where your morning brew comes from, haggle at Chichicastenango market, and actually walk on hardened lava at Pacaya. Lake Atitlan's so pretty it almost doesn't look real. Worth every step.

This was a fantastic tour! We took an 11 day Overland tour of Guatemala and hit most of the highlights. By driving through the country, we got to see the small, local communities we would not have seen had we flown. We decided to upgrade our hotels and were blown away - each one was better than the next! And the highlights we saw were totally amazing!

Overall, the tour was well organized. We asked for a shortened, custom itinerary, and we got one! Being on a private tour was a true bonus. The parts done by Guidequidor were very good. Their guide Abraham was on time, organized, and knowledgeable. The parts with the second operator (can’t remember their name) was on time, but pretty disorganized. They did not know our itinerary at all. I had to show them where we would go and when. The highlights were definitely just that. Very happy to have seen all that we did in such a short time. The accommodations were all very nice. Two different places in Antigua were both amazing. My biggest complaint was that a flight was involved. Due to a change in that flight’s time we left Antigua, around the halfway point of our trip, earlier than expected to overnight in Guatemala City. The Antigua hotel that we stayed in, San Rafael (beautiful), charged us for two nights. We should have been offered the opportunity to check-out and save ourselves the price of that accommodation. When the client is sent their itinerary, it doesn’t contain enough facts, and therefore it was impossible to know that we were booked for two nights… until we arrived at the hotel. I don’t think I needed to pay for the extra night to simply check-out 4 hours later. Knowing what I know now about Guatemala, I would say that this tour was on the pricey side. However, I did get a private tour, with excellent accommodations along the way, and saw some very cool places.

Best time to visit Guatemala
- Spring 2026
Spring opens up perfect weather for getting into Guatemala's culture. The 5-day routes combining Antigua's colonial areas with Lake Atitlan's indigenous villages are particularly popular with our customers. You'll join local women for corn workshops, visit chocolate cooperatives in San Juan La Laguna and learn how they create those intricate textile patterns using traditional dyes. Some tours stop at the Candelaria Caves - our travelers tell us exploring these underground rivers with local guides who know every twist and turn makes for quite an adventure. For those wanting more activity, spring tours often include hikes around Lake Atitlan's three volcanoes and visits to coffee plantations where you'll follow the whole process from growing and picking to roasting and brewing.

- Summer 2026
Summer tours connect Guatemala's ancient Maya sites with its natural areas. The fullest routes begin in Guatemala City and head to Quirigua Archaeological Park, where you'll find the Maya world's tallest carved stelae reaching over 10 meters high. You'll take boats through the Rio Dulce canyon to reach Livingston's Garifuna community, with its unique mix of reggae music and coconut bread recipes. Many summer trips include early morning visits to Tikal - our customers say watching the sunrise from Temple IV is something they never forget. Some tours add the Quetzal Biotope reserve, where you can spot ancient trees growing up to 120 feet tall while learning about the 50 different species in Guatemala's cloud forest system.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall offers ideal conditions for mixing volcanic landscapes with living Maya traditions. Several routes start with evening hikes up Pacaya volcano, taking you through humid forest to reach active volcanic cones. Lake Atitlan plays a big part - our travelers particularly enjoy kayaking along the shoreline and visiting the artist workshops in San Juan la Laguna. The cultural side continues at Iximche's ancient Maya ruins, where local spiritual guides share traditional customs and ceremonies. Some fall tours include optional zip-lining across Lake Atitlan, which our customers say gives you amazing views of the three volcanoes surrounding the water.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter in Guatemala really shines from November through February, with several excellent routes worth considering. Starting in Antigua, you'll walk those old cobblestone streets before heading up Pacaya Volcano - our travelers love that you can actually cook pizza using the volcanic heat as the sun sets. There's also a great route through the highlands to San Andres Itzapa where you'll join a traditional shamanic ceremony at the Temple of San Simon and then ride those famous painted chicken buses to local markets. Over at Lake Atitlan, the winter tours include boat trips to Santiago Atitlan where local families welcome you into their homes to share their Maximon shrines and show you what daily life is like on the lake.
