Guatemala Tours & Holidays

Bienvenidos! Welcome to Guatemala – a land of ancient civilisations, steamy jungles and laidback locals.

This coffee-growing, lava-flowing, jungle-clad landscape definitely doesn’t hold back when it comes to colour – think retro chicken buses cruising down the highway, pastel-painted buildings lining the cobbled streets of historic Antigua and vibrant wares on sale at market stalls in Chichicastenango. And whether you’re cruising down the Rio Dulce to Garifuna-influenced Livingston, strolling around the quaint island of Flores in Lago Peten Itza, or trekking to the Maya ruins of Tikal, your Guatemalan adventure will unlock all but one of its highland secrets – how this Central American beauty is still largely undiscovered will continue to remain a mystery.

Heart of Guatemala

Heather · Traveled February 2024
The enthusiasm of our guide Isaias made all the visits so interesting. He was excellent. There wasn’t too much bus travel and we stopped frequently to talk about something interesting. I learned so much about Guatemala.

Guatemala to Belize

Kate · Traveled February 2024
Overpriced, unsafe, and unvetted; no sign of positive impact on local communities, group leader encouraged tax evasion. Trip was not as sold, accommodation was substandard, and the whole thing felt like a rip-off from start to finish. Group leader was rude and unapproachable in addition to promoting criminal activity. Utterly horrifying.

Maya Encounter

The trip from Carmen del Playa Mexico to Antigua Guatemala was a great experience and got better almost every day. Guatemala is a beautiful country. With our relaxed Guatemalan tour guide (Chris), it was a great opportunity to get to know the culture of this country.

Guatemala to Belize

Kelly · Traveled February 2024
Guatemala to Belize. Unforgettable. The itinerary is full on but manageable. You get to see soooo much and experience so much I highly recommend had an amazing time. Only downside was the size of the double hotel rooms. Don’t let that deter you from experiencing this wonderful adventure. Truly out of this world!
