Carlos and his team are one of a kind and gave us a great tour and experience in Guatemala. We went to Antigua and Panajachel/Lake Atitlan and had a blast. Carlos was amazing with my kids and they immediately fell in love with him as he was so fun and interacting with them. The transportation was comfortable and safe and we even got to stop at a roadside stand to try some street corn. The next day we spent with Domingo, another guide who showed us the small towns along Lake Atitlan and his knowledge and hospitality were top notch. I highly recommend using this service for any tours you might want to go on in Guatemala.

From initial planning (via email) to picking us up at the airport and taking us to Antigua/Lake Atitilan for a 7 day tour (which he did himself), everything went as planned even with extra requested stops along the way! He speaks perfect English, is professional (but down to earth) and is super knowledgeable about all of Guatemala. He knows all the good spots for food, drinks and sightseeing and made sure that we were well taken care of in each of the places that we went. Travelling with Carlos is highly recommended! He also does tours in all of Central America! Would definitely book with Carlos again!

Carlos is an absolute GEM of a human and hands down the best tour guide I've ever met. We coordinated all of our travel between the airport, Antigua, and Lake Atitlan with him and all of our Antigua activities. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Guatemala, Mayan culture/influence, and the city of Antigua, while being fluent in English, and so easy going! He seems to know everyone in Antigua and is universally loved. Do not pass up the chance to spend a few days getting to know him - he's one of a kind!

We had an amazing time with Carlos during our 6 day visit to Guatemala! It was easy to communicate with him about our needs and he went above and beyond.
We used him for all of our transport needs including airport transfers and round trip to Lake Atitlan. Additionally, we did the Antigua Walking Tour one day and the Antigua Village Tour the next. The Antigua Walking Tour was fantastic! It’s such a beautiful city and while you can do it on your own, there is so much we would have missed without Carlos. He has a deep bench of knowledge about the history of the city, plus nice fun nuggets of information too. When we went outside of Antigua to visit four villages, it was also a highlight. So close to Antigua yet very different, with each village wholly different from the next. Both days were fantastic!
Carlos also saved the day when I lost my iPhone on the way to Guatemala. Upon picking us up at the airport, he took us to an iPhone store in Guatemala City and then to a data store before heading to the Lake. One of us was also heading to Paris from Guatemala and needed a COVID test. He set it up for us and we conveniently got the test on the way to airport on the day we departed.
We will absolutely use Carlos again and are looking forward to it. He offers a fantastic service and will definitely make your trip better. Highly recommend!

We came to Puerto Quetzal for the day on a cruise ship. We had one of the best days of our trip with Carlos Mijangos.
We saw a couple of the local towns and markets, and Carlos bought us fruit to try that we had never seen before. We saw a town that had been wiped out by a volcano. We also went to Antigua, where I think most of the cruise ship passengers head, but Carlos organized the day, so we avoided the biggest crowds. Another highlight was riding the local chicken bus, and learning how each bus is its own business.
We spent the afternoon at Fredy Gonzalez's coffee farm. We had a great lunch there and learned all about their coffee operation. We picked the coffee, removed the husks, roasted, ground, and drank the coffee. We also learned about how they formed a co-op to process the coffee themselves and get a better price for it.
We felt totally safe our entire time in Guatemala.
I highly recommend Carlos Mijangos.

We had a day tour with Carlos on our recent Panama Canal cruise on the Carnival Miracle. Carlos met us at the dock and we headed our right away in a comfortable mini bus with 10 of us inside. We visited an authentic Guatemalan village, rode a "Chicken Bus" with the local, toured around Antigua including the local market, picked up a local coffee farmer, Fredy" and visited his co-operative plantation where we were able to pick coffee beans and then went back to his family house where his wife and family showed us how the de-husk the beans, then we roasted them over an open fire and finally ground those beans using a stone and wooden tool. After this Fredy's wife and fmaily served us an authentic Guatemalan lunch as well as coffee and local beer. Collectively, we all agreed that this tour was the highlight of all our port tours. Thank you Carlos for a memorable day, thank you Fredy for your hospitality, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Carlos for anyone looking for a caring,professional tour guide in Guatemala. He was there first thing to pick us up (even with all the additional Covid-19 precautions the port was taking) and had us back to the boat in plenty of time for our departure. Thank you Carlos for a memorable day!

Our group of 4 took a one-week tour to Guatemala with Carlos. He picked us up in a very comfortable Toyota Hiace. He speaks excellent English. We traveled together and did all the tours himself. He was knowledgeable and he went out of his way to make sure that we were okay. If he is available, I highly recommend Carlos not just in Guatemala but all of central America!

Our group of women had the most wonderful experience with Carlos! He is so much fun and so knowledgeable about all things Guatemala. We always felt safe. He showed us a great variety of things in our week-long visit. He was oh so patient…not always easy with 10 women!! We all hope to meet up with him for a future trip!!

Carlos picked up a group of 15 of us from our cruise ship. He gave us a fabulous tour of Antigua. On the way there, we were lucky to see one of the many volcanoes spewing smoke and the driver pulled over so we could take photos. My favorite part of the day was when we got to ride in a "chicken bus" with the locals. That was so much fun and such an authentic experience. He also took us to the local market which was spectacular and later to a fabulous local restaurant. Carlos is super knowledgeable, his English is excellent, and the places he took us are not the typical tourist traps where the cruise excursions often take you.

We were with a group of friends touring only 1 day from a cruise ship, but as I said in my review, we were thrilled with the service of Carlos Mijangos ..HIs company is Guatemalan Guide. .VERY knowledgable about all of Guatemala, so I suggest you contact him +502 5575-2200 He will definitely guide you in the right direction. FYI, Antigua rained ash after the volcano, but no major damage to this amazing city & all has been cleaned up.

Antigua is located at about 1.5 hours from the port. If you decide to use a shared service, the price is $85.00 per person.

My husband and I will have 2-3 hours in Antigua in April and would like to hire a private walking tour guide at the Jude Museum for 1-2 hours. We need some guidance. What is the usual fee per hour? If several others ask to join us, does this change the amount charged? Will the guide accept US dollars? Do we come with a short list of sights in which we are particularly interested? If it is over the lunch period, do we invite the guide to lunch with us? Please add information you found helpful. Thank you.
