the trip was very easy to book and very flexible to custom requests. Driving distances were tough especially going to Honduras and back.
the guides provided in every location, but especially Honduras, Tikal and Alex in Antigua were exceptional.
Mayan civilization, which my trip was designed to highlight was a revelation and deeply moving.

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Las Americas
Guatemala City
Very basic hotel, a 3 star at best by western standards.
Good bar and food.
Hotel Yat B'alam
Copan Ruinas
Superb small hotel, very authentic. The staff were very good . Don't expect Hilton., expect boutique small hotel perfectly located around town.
An interesting hotel, with pretensions of being 5 star. It's not. Things to keep in mind:
Food was good but way overpriced. Strong recommendation, is to eat outside of the resort at local places for half the price if not cheaper.
Electricity is only available around breakfast/lunch/dinner time.
Wifi was only available at the lobby, zero internet in the rooms.
staff at the restaurant were exceptional, staff as reception could have been better.
Location inside the archeological site is the only reason to stay there. Keep in mind, that entrance to the site at all times requires different tickets, early morning(great to see the sunrise and starting at 10.

Lake Atitlán Village Tour
Guatemala
Great place to visit. Amazing views. the tour should have avoided the largest town on the lake, a complete tourist trap. All stops were designed to bring you to various local shops. largest city, 3rd stop on the tour is to be avoided. I wish more time was spent at the first 2 stops.
