Trianna_P, June 2026

This was a super fun experience and super fun way to learn about Guatemalan culture! The guides were great!

Response from Host, June 2026

Hello! Thanks for the recommendation and review, We are more than happy that you chose us to do a completely different activity like our tour of villages on the most beautiful lake, When we introduced you to our guide he was in charge of providing you with important information about the history of the small,colorful villages and what each one makes, and you learned more about Guatemala.

5.0 The Best we had in Lake Atitlan

35nr, June 2026

We had an amazing experience with Simoon Tours! From the very beginning, Iva was incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful. She made the entire booking process easy and was always willing to answer our questions. Our guide, Sebas, was absolutely wonderful. He was patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire tour. Since we were the only reservation for the day, the tour became a private experience, which made it even more special. Sebas took his time, shared information about the area, helped us with photos, and made sure my 9-year-old son enjoyed every moment. The ATV tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Guatemala. The views were spectacular, and the service exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Iva and Sebas, for making this such a memorable experience. We highly recommend Simoon Tours to anyone visiting Guatemala!

Thanks for the recommendation and review, We are more than happy that you chose us for our Villages Tour on the most Beautiful Lake,where our guide took care of telling you the history and culture of how each village was founded and whay they make, at the same time you were able to appreciate unique views

5.0 Lovely way to see lesser known side of the lake

Lisa S, May 2026

Really fun way to see the villages on that side of the lake. ATVs were very safe and comfortable. In addition to the leader, there is a motorcycle that runs ahead to stop traffic as needed. This is mostly on city streets and the open road between villages. The chocolate, ceramic and weaving stops were nice - educational. I would say the only downside was there was considerable lingering at each stop and at a couple they were really selling, and wouldn’t always leave you alone. If each stop would’ve been about 15 minutes shorter, in my opinion, it would’ve been better.

What a fun way to see villages and demonstrations we wouldn’t have seen if it wasn’t for Yeshua and his vast knowledge. We felt safe and are still talking about how great it was. Highly recommend!

5.0 Super fun

Joel_P, April 2026

It was so much fun! Getting to ride atvs up and down a winding mountain side into smaller towns of Guatemala was awesome. Out Guid Nemi was very knowledgeable and spoke in English extremely will and with him being our guid we (my wife and I) felt extremely comfortable we didn’t feel rushed or felt uncomfortable. I would definitely book with them again! Thank you to Nemi and Simon tours for an excellent experience!

5.0 Tons of fun!

Zak M, April 2026

I had a super fun tour with Pedro as my guide! I was lucky that on the tour was myself and one other person, so Pedro took his time explaining everything and even took us to a few extra spots for excellent views. (He was an excellent photographer for us!) Pedro was attentive making sure we were safe and that we understood how to operate the ATVs. He was super knowledgeable. He often helped the workshoppers translate and communicate with us. You can tell he loves his job and thus, helped me love Atitlán even more. It was my first time riding an ATV so beginners are welcome to Simoon Tours. Santa Catarina Palopó and San Antonio Palopó felt less touristy than the other pueblos around the lake, making them feel more quaint and less commercialized. Being with a guide made navigating them much easier. You get to avoid the crowds and see more locals.

Response from Host, April 2026

4.0 Two reasons why I gave...

Jamie_L, April 2026

Two reasons why I gave this a four star. In the description, it said we were going to go on a coffee tour taste coffee, see how the process is made, etc. that never happened. We stopped by a very small coffee shop to buy coffee. Also, this tour was supposed to be four hours and we got back in less than three. However, our guide was great and it was fun to visit to Mayan villages.

Response from Host, April 2026

Hello! Thanks for the recommendation and review,We apologize for the minor incovenience you experienced on our coffee tour, we make it our mission to ensure all our clients get to know one of the most famous farms, where we share the history and process of coffe from beginning to end including a tasting.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would, my guide Pedro was hands down one of the most charismatic, uplifting and reassuring guide I could’ve asked for. Not a dull moment! Pedro did not miss in none of the recommendations and spots he took us too, from food, tours and his recommendations with everything else. I truly thank him for going above and beyond on the tour and making my family feel welcome! ASK FOR PEDRO in your upcoming tour in Panajachel!! And a sincere thank you to Pedro

5.0 Incredible Tour - Even Better Tour Guide in Nemy

Will_D, March 2026

This was an absolutely incredible tour that we would recommend to anyone. Riding the ATVs is so much fun, and the stops along the way were exactly what we were looking for. Our tour had five people on it including us, which we felt was perfect. Our tour guide is what really perfected the tour for us though. His name is Nemy and he is an incredibly nice and knowledgeable guy with a huge heart. He took good care of us, took the time to get to know us a bit, never rushed us, and gave us such interesting information at each stop. We stopped at a local coffee spot with local coffee beans, a traditional textiles location where we got to spin some cotton and learn about all the dies and textile making process from some locals with Mayan heritage, and a traditional ceramics shop where we got to see the various steps of the ceramic making process. We found some of our favorite souvenirs on this tour as well at these stops. We feel incredibly lucky to have found this tour and to have had Nemy as our tour guide in particular, and we would recommend the tour company and Nemy to anyone. Thanks again Nemy!

5.0 Best thing we did in Guatemala

CalamityJaneSays, March 2026

Two important things you should know right off the bat: 1. This was the best experience we had in Guatemala. 2. We are not ATV people. We are quiet nature people, hiking, snowshoeing, etc But, we read so may positive reviews, we decided to swallow our ATV judgement and do it. It was so, so fun, thrilling, interesting and SO worth the price. Our guide was Pedro and he was safe, knowledgeable and funny. We ranged in age from 18-66 and only one of us had had ATV experience. Yet everyone felt safe and in control. Don’t hesitate. Book this and, if you are really lucky, Pedro will accompany you.

5.0 Great !

Carol R, March 2026

Fuimos un grupo de 14 chicas y la pasamos ¡espectacular! Desde el primer momento, Nehemías y su compañero nos dieron un trato VIP que hizo que la experiencia fuera aún más especial. Nos llevaron a disfrutar de vistas impresionantes, aprendimos sobre la cultura local y visitamos lugares maravillosos como una finca de café, una chocolatería y espacios de artesanía local. Todo estuvo perfectamente organizado. Lo que más me encantó fue que respetaron nuestro ritmo y nos permitieron disfrutar cada parada con calma, apreciando cada detalle sin prisas. Siempre que viajo me gusta hacer tours en ATV, pero este definitivamente se ha convertido en uno de mis favoritos. Sin duda lo recomiendo y lo volvería a hacer. ¡Muchas gracias chicos! Son los mejores, trato excelente y servicio de calidad. We were a group of 14 girls and we had an amazing time! From the very first moment, Nehemiah and his partner gave us VIP treatment that made the experience even more special.

Everything was perfectly organized. What I loved most was that they respected our pace and allowed us to enjoy each stop calmly, appreciating every detail without rushing. Whenever I travel, I like to take ATV tours, but this one has definitely become one of my favorites. I would definitely recommend it and would do it again. Thank you so much, guys!

5.0 Helmet On. Mountain Roads. Let’s Go.

karenrP7016FR, February 2026

If you’re anywhere near Lake Atitlán and want real adventure, book with Simoon Rentals. I had never been on an ATV before. Zero experience. I definitely started off “how do I do this?” and within minutes I was confidently cruising. My guide, Nemi, was patient, clear, calm in the best way, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. That energy makes a huge difference. The tour starts in Panajachel and climbs into the mountains toward San Antonio Palopó and surrounding villages. You’re riding high above the lake on winding mountain roads with unreal views. This is the highlands — terrain, elevation, perspective. Not just a spin around town. And it’s not only about the ride. We stopped at a cacao workshop, visited a traditional Mayan pottery studio, and watched cotton being spun and naturally dyed with plants. The craftsmanship and Mayan influence woven into daily Guatemalan life was one of the best parts of the day. Adventure with depth. Mountain air. Culture. Views for days. Tip your guide. Bring a small backpack for souvenirs. And wear sunscreen — that mountain sun is no joke. Simoon Rentals absolutely revved it up!

It was an unexpectedly good experience. Driving the ATV was fun, we had a proper glimpse of the local culture, never felt rushed or pushed to purchase anything in particular. Sebastian, our guide, was fun, knowledgeable and attentive. He took excellent care of the group. Also, his English was quite impressive!

I absolutely loved this tour!! Nehemías was a fantastic tour guide—super friendly, informative, and helpful. He always made sure we felt comfortable and even took amazing photos of us. This tour is a great way to see areas around the lake that you might not get to explore on foot. It was easily one of my favorite parts of my trip to Guatemala, and I would 100% recommend it!
