I would highly recommend Karen and her team at Old Town. I am going to definitely book another mini trip with her for the volcano hike the big one Fuego.

The staff at Ka'ana Resort were real professionals. Everyone was warm and helpful. The canoe trip in Barton Creek through the caves was an amazing experience. And everyone in our group raved about the snorkeling at Hol Chan/Shark Ray Alley during our stay in San Pedro. Thank you to Alex for arranging our trip.

The visit to the Maya ruin was spectacular and the guide that we had, unfortunately I don't remember his name, was so knowledgeable. He really made that tour such a great experience.

Just one thing about that particular day .... At 8: 00 AM we were expecting to get picked up. When he did arrive at approximately 8:40 we realized there were several of the people on the tour and that's why he was delayed. It would have been nice to know there was going to be a wait time.

I truly appreciate you pointing out the pickup delay. You’re absolutely right, it would have been better to communicate that in advance. We’ll make sure to improve our communication on this moving forward, so expectations are always clear. I am already in touch with the person in charge.

Thank you again for the helpful feedback. I wish you all a wonderful return home.

He designed a custom trip for me that included the religious aspects and so much more. During my five-day stay, I took a boat ride on Lake Atitlán, saw the preparations for the processions and the process of carpet-making up close, visited a coffee farm, a family chocolate factory, a macadamia nut farm, and had a textile lesson. I attended Mass on Easter Sunday, including yet another procession. I was booked at the beautiful resort-like hotel, La Porta. All the while, I had a personal guide, Diana, who explained the history and customs of everything I saw. Our driver, Manuel, skillfully drove us everywhere we needed to go. Alex was always available for questions and help. He even met me at the airport when I arrived to introduce himself. All in all, it was a beautiful, meaningful experience. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and cared for. I am so glad I did this. I definitely recommend KimKim for special trips like the one I just enjoyed.
