Hike is nice, would not book it again though
Antje_G, Jan 2022
The hike itself is easy and beautiful. However, the guide we had made us feel like he just wants to finish as fast as possible. I booked an english speaking guide but he did not understand me and did not say a single word until my friend started to ask questions in spanish. He was rushing through the hike and I had to actively stop in order to actually enjoy the view. He then wanted to cut it short, taking a boat from Tzununa to San Marcos instead of walking. I had booked a trip to San Marcos and when I said I would like to walk he asked if I want him to come along. After doing this hike with a guide, I personally would say it's definitely fine to do it without a guide. I liked the hike but the guided tour is overprized for only 2 hours and the guide experience we had.
Response from Host, Jan 2022
Thank you for booking the hiking experience with us. We are happy you enjoyed the trail and the views. To be clear, San Marcos is not included in the decription, so continueing on to San Marcos should not have been expected unless you engaged the guide as an add on. Our local guides are from this area and study their English continuously, and I know Mario's English is quite good.
Beautiful Tour

Humberto was a wonderful tour guide . Me and my bf had a nice time and were able to explore Lake Atitlan in a more profound way . I would recommend this tour for people who are looking for a nice hike and not too hard .
