    There was not anything much different to buy in the market than there is in Antigua. I enjoyed seeing the Mayan temple ruins with the church built atop it.

    The tour started very early, our guide Gonzalo and driver David were very nice. We stopped at Katok Restaurant for restroom and coffee break, then we went to Panajachel for a quick lookout of the lake. The market was very interesting, very colorful and so much fun learning about their culture and history. The churches are amazing and we wish we had more time to spend there but otherwise great tour.

    On the plus side; the guide Willie was organized, the driver quite competent and we did visit the market and see the lake. On the minus side, we arrived early at the Barcelo Hotel to meet the tour but when they arrived we were not in the list, and then we drive back to our hotel pick up someone else which was odd. The drive to see Lake Atitlan was interesting but all we did was view it from an overlook and it was foggy; it probably is one of the world’s most beautiful lakes, but we didn’t see that. Also the bathroom there which cost 3 Queztals was disgusting! The Chichicastenago Market was interesting but crowded and hot, and we didn’t stay there to shop as long as scheduled because most members of the group were ready to go home. The lunch was just okay. The main thing to know if considering this tour is that it was 4 hours Each Way in the van. Definitely if you want to see the lake it should be a separate outing.

    <p>This Tour should really just say chichicastenango day trip. Lake atitlan was just a stop at a viewpoint on the way to chichi. We thought it was visiting both. Confusing so that’s why I removed 1 star. Other than that great tour of chichicastenango! The lunch was delicious! tour is thru Clark tours</p>
