Free tours a San Juan La Laguna

Angelica gave us the tour, a San Juan local. Very lovely and informative walk around the town. We walked around and took us to receive explanations at the women’s textile, maya honey and cocoa. All which you can do on your own, but it was nice to have her show us around, and explain it a bit more.

A nice tour to get to know the people and traditions of San Juan! Flavio was also very helpful after the tour and helped us book a bird tour with a really nice guide 😊 highly recommend!

I had booked with Flavio, but he messaged me that Angelica will be the guide for the day. Angelica met us with another guide Gabriella. They both were good. They did struggle a bit with English, but overall we were able to follow what they were saying and we really liked their spirit and enthusiasm and providing us the best experience.

Very nice and interesting tour from the girls who grew up around San Juan and San Marcos.

The guide Pablo was super nice! I had a great time and learned so many things about the maya culture and the history of San Juan! Muchas Gracias, I would recommend for sure :)

Superbién ! El tour ha sido muy interesante con muchas informaciones además que hemos descubierto muchos lugares ! Aproximadamente unas 3 horas, pero pasaron muy rápido porque el Tour fue cautivador ! Pablo y Angela son dos personas muy amables y con muchos conocimientos ! Muy recomendable !

Un dia muy divertido y informativo. Pablo es el mejor guia!

Pablo was an excellent tour guide! He brought us to loads of different experiences like the Mayan bees, the weavers, Mayan chocolate making, a gallery and a coffee plantation. His explanations were great and he took great pictures of us too! Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone staying around Lake Atitlan!

This tour was great! Pablo took us to many demonstrations at sites we may not have visited had we tried to go on our own. He was very informative!

Flavio organised a great guide Luis for our tour. The route was excellent we had free English tours of chocolate, coffee, textiles, church and native bees/honey. We spent 4 hours with our guide and it was just the three of us. Great experience, can go at your own pace. Highly recommend!

It was a great and very cultural tour! We went to many places and learned about the maia culture. The guide explains a lot about the place, history and culture. You can have good shopping on the way. I really recommend!!

RECOMENDADÍSIMO! Aristides es un guía muy paciente y comparte información muy interesante sobre su cultura, su lengua y las tradiciones de San Juan de la Laguna. También ofrece un tour que conecta con cooperativas de San Juan. Esto te permite acercarte a la gente más allá de una simple relación comercial. Esto permite un intercambio cultural único! En la cooperativa de cacao, de textiles y en la de miel de abeja, nos recibieron con las puertas abiertas. No hay nada mejor que visitar el pueblo con un local y qué además explicar y comparte sus raíces.

Flavio arranged for Aristides to do the tour and we couldn't have asked for a better guide to visit the pretty town of San Juan. Aristides was very informative and gave us lots of insights into the Guatemalan and Mayan culture and their way of life. He spoke perfect English and we were able to share life experiences together, he is very approachable and personable Can't recommend it him enough

Aristides is a very nice guy who knows a lot and takes you to wonderful places. It's not like a standard tour, but more like a walk with a friend who can answer all your questions. We 100% recommend Aristides.

Flavio arranged for Pablo to give us a tour since he was out of the country. Pablo was great with our kids, very knowledgeable and spoke good English. Even though we were an hour late, he waited for us and greeted us kindly. Prior to our tour, he sent me a text introducing himself. I had hoped to visit the Mayan health cooperative but that’s okay, we were all tired and were satisfied with the 3 that we did visit (weaving, stingless honey bees and coffee). Highly recommend!

Excellent experience

The tour was amazing!!!!! Our guide was very informative and very patient with us. my group and I are definitely out of shape and that he took us out but nonetheless our guide waited patiently with us never complained about us wanting to take a break and overall was just so kind. He gave us a mix between history, culture and personal experience. he did not overload us with a ton of long each about each place but the Tour was very informative. We got to see so much of San Juan the end of it we were exhausted. It was a wonderful way to spend a day in San Juan if you’ve never visited before I 10 out of 10 recommend you take this tour because you will not be disappointed and will love it just as much as I did.

We had an excellent time with Flavio. Highly, highly recommended. He was willing to adjust the tour to our requests, he was 100% engaging and knowledgeable and enthusiastic! It was clear that he loves, doing the tour and sharing his country with us! Don’t hesitate to book!

Pablo tenía mucho conocimiento sobre el San Juan y respondió a todas nuestras preguntas aunque a veces estaban fuera del tema

Great day, we learned about local culture and traditions of the region. Thank you.

It was a wonderful tour, bursting with colour and culture. I enjoyed it a lot and Pablo, who took the place of Flavio today, was such a warm and enthusiastic guide with a good level of the English language. Visiting the cooperatives was a wonderful experience, hands on and super informative. Occasionally when the Spanish explanations were too fast for me to catch fully Pablo translated for me. A super your and super kind guide. Would highly recommend. Thank you ❤️

It was very interesting tour , the guide is very kind and with a lot of knowledge. It was one of the best tour we had in Guatamela.

Flavio gave us the best day of our trip. He showed us so much and introduced us to many locals. The walk felt more like hanging out with a friend who was a local than a guided tour. Don’t get me wrong, this is very much a tour but Flavio’s charisma and attention to detail make it so much more personal. We sampled honey and wine while learning about stingless bees. We visited various shops and met local artists. We were given a traditional Mayan weaving demonstration while touring a textile shop. We toured a chocolate shop that allowed us to sample all types of chocolate and several flavors of chocolate alcohol, all made on site. We visited a coffee plantation, met the owner, learned the history while sampling his wonderful coffee. The walked highlighted the culture and beauty of San Juan La Laguna and I couldn’t believe it was free. Please do yourself a favor and book a tour with Flavio.

Flavio was great! Super informative and fun tour!

Excellent and interesting tour!! Flavio was an excellent and professional guide. Flavio learned us about the Maya cultur (textile) and bees and coffee. We hightly recommand this tour with Flavio. Thank you for your firenship
