Guatemala travel

We were in Guatemala for 12 nights in October ’04. The travel agency we used in Antigua, Voyageur Tours (Centro Comercial La Fuente, 4a. Calle Oriente No. 14, Antigua, Guatemala, C.A.; phone [502] 832-4237, fax 4247, e-mail info@travel.net.gt or visit www.travel.net.gt/ant.html), was outstanding. We made all contacts with them through e-mail.

We worked with Patricia Barragan and Miguel, the owner. They were extremely kind and helpful, and the arrangements were excellent. They arranged all hotels, all transfers and our round-trip air to Flores (for Tikal). The price for all of this was $1,530 for both of us.

We arrived in the midst of minor political turmoil. Miguel lent us a cell phone to use the entire time, with contact numbers programmed. We were only to drop the phone off on our return to Antigua.

Miguel speaks English because his family lived in L.A. for a few years. We would highly recommend Voyageur Tours for anyone wanting to travel in Guatemala.
