Free walking tours in San Juan La Laguna

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!

Amazing tour! I couldn’t recommend it enough. It was the best way to get a quick cultural tour of San Juan. Pedro was amazing, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable

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!!

Pedro has a wonderful knowledge of the area and is obviously proud to share this with others. He knew all the perfect spots for photo ops and was patient with all of us as we were exploring the various venues. Highly 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.

We had a great time in San Juan La Laguna. Our guide chose an easy to find meeting point and arrived right on time. The first visit was the chocolate factory where we tasted many items, we then walked up Umbrella Street(hill) and he offered to take many photos of us. We made our way to a textile co op and got to make thread and watch the pros weave the amazing fabrics the local women wear. We also went to a bee farm and tasted all sorts of amazing honey. Along the way he even gave us time to stop and paint a mural. It was a blast.

Definitivamente Pedro es un amplio conocedor de la cultura, historia y actualidad de los diferentes pueblos y lugares alrededor del lago de Atitlan. Sin duda recomiendo tomar el tour y a Pedro como guia! Hace una gran diferencia para bien el hacer el recorrido con guia, te lleva los lugares indicados y conoce a la gente

It was a nice informative tour. I got to relearn about coffee, chocolate, and honey. I also learned about how they create their dyes and textiles. I also learned about the Mayan Corn God and Jaguar God. I also got to see a lot of colors patterns amd beautiful paintings.

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.

Excelente tour, Pedro tienen amplio conocimiento del pueblo, su historia y su cultura. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

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

Pedro tiene conocimiento profundo de la cultura local y su amabilidad hicieron que nuestra experiencia fuera inolvidable. ¡Definitivamente lo recomendaría a cualquiera que quiera vivir un tour inolvidable alrededor del Lago de Atitlán!

Felicidades, un guía muy apasionado y profesional, muy recomendado.

Super expérience avec Pedro, tour très complet qui met en avant le savoir faire du village de San juan la laguna ! Passionnant !

Really great tour with Pedro. Had such a nice time and learned so much! Thank you

We loved our walking tour led by Pedro. He was highly informative and brought us to many interesting places.

El objetivo del tour es visitar los siguientes lugares: una cooperativa téxtil, una tienda de chocolate, un proyecto con abejas y una galería de arte. En cada visita te muestran el proceso de elaboración de diferentes productos, que puedes comprar si quieres. A lo largo del tour das un paseo por el pueblo mientras Pedro te cuenta parte de su história y anécdotas. Recomendable!

Recomiendo al joven Pedro ya que está bien preparado sobre su cultura, es muy responsable y puntual. Realicé el tour por Santiago Atitlan y por San Juan en 2 días diferentes.

Excelente recorrido. El mejor recorrido que he tomado en Guatemala. Super recomendado, porque soy muy exigente.

I highly recommand the Tour with Pedro! It was super interesting, visiting many places. Me and my friend have learnt so much about the local culture , discover local product and population of this amazing region. Thanks to Pedro who learnt us a lot of things. We even didn't see the time passed during this Tour.

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.
