GTM Tour Guide & Travel Services Reviews

Rachel Theriot  

Great tour company! Very friendly and accommodating!

26-Jun-2023

I reached out to Hector with GTM Tour Guide and Travel Services a couple of months before a large family reunion in Guatemala City and Antigua to help me coordinate a tour itinerary and private transportation from GC to Antigua and back. Hector was amazing to work with and was always so accommodating with our group's ever-changing needs. I highly recommend coordinating with GTM for large groups like ours, and Hector put me at ease since I had over 20 family members coming together in Guatemala, and I lived in the States. We arranged a private Guatemala City bus tour on Sunday with Don Armando, who was a lively Guatemalan for our group who showed us the sights of the City from the comfort of a private A/C bus. Hector also volunteered to put car seats in the bus for the young toddlers in the group. As plans typically change with a large family reunion, the number of passengers going from GC to Antigua increased, and Hector had no issues with securing a larger private bus for our group. We also did a walking tour with Don Armando in Antigua; however, I should have requested 2 tour guides because we had almost 18 people (baby strollers, senior citizens, etc...) and that was a little difficult to maneuver with the cobblestone streets and narrow sidewalks with that many people, but Don Armando kept things moving and interesting. Hector and his group reached out to me during the week to make sure everything was good and if we needed anything. I really felt that I had a tour partner while we were in Guatemala. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

This company is fantastic! They are easy to communicate with, and they are quick to respond. We used them for transport from the airport in Guatemala City to the city of Antigua and everything went smoothly with their driver waiting for us with a clear sign bearing our name as soon as we arrived. In addition, we had an urgent need to travel back to the city at the last minute and I asked them if they could arrange a last minute transport (the night before) and they came through for us! I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again.

13 day trip in Guatemala

14-Jun-2023

Hector and his team did an excellent job organizing our 13-day tour in Guatemala. He organized transportation to and from the airport, our hotels, our tour guides, and drivers and helped us choose appropriate destinations, including taking our opinions/choices into consideration. Hector and his team were very professional, knowledgeable, caring, and open to our extra wants/needs. I would use GTM in a heartbeat again. Everyone in my group was highly pleased with GTM. I would highly recommend using GTM to organize your tours etc.
