The tour was amazing! The guide was very helpful in explaining how to ride the atv before we went and always made sure to look back at me to ensure I was doing okay. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Very good company and staff!

Good experience - exhilarating and scary sometimes

Birunthini_Y, Apr 2024

Off roading in all that dust - exhilarating and scary at the same time. The guide was great and because of the time of year we didn’t see a sunset as it was too cloudy. Great experience!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hello thank you for taking the time to leave a review!! i hope you can come back again!

Awesome, fun beautiful trip

Stacey_H, Mar 2024

This was an awesome experience. We loved every minute. Our guide Nehemias might have been our best Viator guide ever, and we have done many viator tours all over the world.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

We will let Nehemias know he did great:).. nice compliment for him! Thanks for joining us on the sunset tour at the lake and thank your for leaving a review!

Great experience!

Andrew_F, Feb 2024

It was a great experience. We got to see the volcanoes from a lookout and see a small town and the culture there. My one recommendation to someone doing this is to make sure that you bring a face covering and sun glasses. It gets dusty at points and you will want a way to cover your face.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hello Andrew! we are happy that you had a great experience , i hope you can comeback soon!!

It is a must do experience!!

Aakash_G, Feb 2024

Friendly Guide and Beautiful Ride

Renee_A, Dec 2023

This was one of the best things that I've ever done on a trip. The road to the viewing point was lush and green which gave it an extra special feel. The trip was even better for me than the destination. The tour guide was friendly and patient. This was my first time riding, and he made me comfortable by allowing me to ride for a minute before we took off. I felt safe the entire time.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for sharing your experience! Glad to read you enjoyed the beautiful lake and ATV tour!

An exciting ATV trip along beautiful Atitlan lake

Shaoquan_L, Dec 2023

This was our first time ride on a ATV. Our guides Petro and Carlo were very good teachers, but for our safety we did not go to the top of a mountain but visited Santa Catarina Palopó and the hot spring nearby, and San Antonio Palopó, there we had a tasty hot chocolate and watched beautiful Sunset. Petro and Carlo are very nice and friendly. It is really a pleasure to travel with them. They are very careful about our safety and lead the way in a safe speed and constantly watch the traffic behind us. At the end we almost became "expert" ATV raiders.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hello Hello! thanks a lot for you kind words , im glad that you enjoyed the tour with them !! i hope you can comeback soon!!

Best Birthday Experience!

Must do Sunset ATV tour in Panajachel

Carlyle_W, May 2022

This was such an awesome ATV Tour around Panajachel. I highly recommend it as it was the perfect length. My tour guide Joshua was very knowledgeable and personable throughout the various stops we made. We even stopped at a cultural center to get snacks and do some shopping. He has perfect English and was good at checking to make sure I was at a safe distance behind him while we drove all the up a mountain and back at night.

Response from Host, May 2022

thanks you so much for sharing your positive experience with Joshua !and your great Review

Yeshua was our guide and he was very energetic and kind. He made sure we were comfortable in our ATVs and would check on us during the ride. Yeshua was very informative about the places we went to and would give us ample time to explore. Definitely recommend this tour!
