Voyzo runs 10 private tours in Guatemala, covering 9 top attractions — each with your own guide, driver, and vehicle, and an itinerary built around your group rather than a fixed bus schedule.
Guatemala is the heart of the ancient Maya world — a country of colonial towns, volcanic highlands, and jungle-covered ruins where roughly 3,000 Mayan structures still rise from the Peten rainforest at Tikal. From the cobblestone streets of Antigua, ringed by three volcanoes, to the crater lake of Atitlan and its Tzutuhil and Kaqchikel lakeside villages, Guatemala pairs living indigenous culture with dramatic natural scenery in a way few countries can match.
One trip on this page makes a single overnight crossing into Honduras to visit the Copan ruins — that itinerary honestly discloses the night spent across the border, with a confirmed hotel wherever you're actually staying. Every other route on this page stays entirely within Guatemala.

Tikal National Park
Guatemala
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest excavated cities of the ancient Maya, with roughly 3,000 structures — including the 65-meter Temple of the Great Jaguar — rising from the Peten rainforest, home to spider monkeys, toucans, and howler monkeys.
2
Antigua Guatemala
Guatemala
The colonial former capital of Central America, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of cobblestone streets, more than 30 monasteries and convents, and a grand cathedral, ringed by the Fuego, Agua, and Acatenango volcanoes.
3
Lake Atitlan
Guatemala
A volcanic crater lake ringed by three volcanoes at 1,600 meters above sea level, bordered by small Tzutuhil and Kaqchikel Mayan villages often reachable only by boat, including Santiago Atitlan and the weaving town of San Juan La Laguna.
4
Chichicastenango Market
Guatemala
One of Latin America's largest indigenous markets, held twice weekly as Kaqchikel and K'iche' traders descend from surrounding villages to sell textiles, produce, and crafts, while shamans purify the church steps with incense in ongoing Mayan ritual.
5
Semuc Champey
Guatemala
A series of turquoise limestone pools and small waterfalls formed atop a natural 500-meter land bridge over the Cahabon River in the jungle highlands of Alta Verapaz, with the flooded Kan-Ba caves nearby explored by candlelight.
6
Pacaya Volcano
Guatemala
An active volcano near Antigua and one of Guatemala's most-visited, where a hiking trail leads across recent lava fields, sometimes close enough to roast marshmallows over residual heat.
7
Acatenango Volcano
Guatemala
A 3,976-meter volcano near Antigua, climbed overnight by trekkers who camp partway up for the view of neighboring Fuego volcano erupting after dark.
8
Yaxha Archaeological Site
Guatemala
A Maya ceremonial center in the Peten jungle near Tikal, with over 500 structures around a lake, far quieter than its famous neighbor and known for sunset views from its tallest temple.
9
Rio Dulce
Guatemala
A jungle-lined river connecting Lake Izabal to the Caribbean coast at Livingston, navigated by boat past the Castillo de San Felipe fortress and hot springs along its banks.
November through April (dry season) brings the most reliable weather across the highlands, Peten jungle, and Caribbean coast. May through October is rainy season with afternoon downpours.
Antigua, Lake Atitlan, and the highlands connect by road. Reaching Tikal and the Peten region in the north typically involves a domestic flight from Guatemala City or Antigua to Flores.
The highlands around Antigua and Lake Atitlan stay mild and spring-like year-round thanks to elevation, while the Peten jungle and Caribbean coast are hot and humid — pack layers if combining both.
Guatemala uses the quetzal (GTQ). Tipping around 10% at restaurants and for guides is customary and appreciated.
Acatenango's overnight volcano trek is genuinely strenuous high-altitude hiking — reasonable fitness and warm gear for a below-freezing summit camp matter more than most visitors expect.
Lake Atitlan's shoreline villages are home to distinct Tzutuhil and Kaqchikel Maya communities, each with their own dress, dialect, and market traditions still very much alive today.
