00:09I originally booked this tour through Expedia using Grayline, who didn't actually run the
00:14trip and didn't even notify us. Then I booked it through Aviator using Jaguar,
00:20and it was a wonderful experience. Our driver, Carlos, is an excellent professional and person.
00:27He shared history with us and was very punctual, respectful, and kind, a truly wonderful human
00:34being. The bus was very clean and beautiful, and we traveled with two wonderful ladies from Colombia,
00:41Luzdari and Marta. It was a day of learning, jokes, laughter, songs, and sayings, in short,
00:49unforgettable. I highly recommend Jaguar Travel and Carlos.
00:55Vete responsable and great communication
00:58Brian was an amazing driver and took us to meet a tourist guide who gave us an amazing tour of
01:04the
01:04market and churches, then later at Panahachel he was very patient and let me stop in every
01:10colorful vendor on our way to our destinations. I recommend it.
01:16It was very interesting to experience the local culture, and the guide's explanations were
01:21excellent. They were punctual, the transportation was good, and the timing was well planned.
01:28You should wear comfortable shoes, a hat, and be prepared to walk. Check prices at the market.
01:36The lake is absolutely beautiful, warm, and has an incredible view.
01:41Chichi Costinongo is a sociological experience. Mayan culture and Christianity merge in the same place,
01:50church, ancient Mayan temple, and the cemetery is incredibly colorful.
01:56My guide Aloyta was absolutely fantastic. Spent a wonderful day at the Chichi Costinongo marketplace.
02:04Unfortunately rain stopped our visit to Exichm, but it was still definitely worth the trip.
02:11A lot of driving and practically no time to see just a market and a lake.
02:16I hardly enjoyed my day, it was a purely touristy place.
