What Our Customers Say about San Marcos to Panajachel Boat service

Excellent service 👌🏼 Luis is super friendly.

Luis provides very good service and a very fair price. He has his own boat and if he is busy, he works with other members of his family to provide the service. The boat is in very good condition, our group was 15 and we were very comfortable. We visited 3 towns around Atitlán and Luis gave us suggestions on everything, even though we already had a previous established agenda. He was watching our stuff we left in the boat while we were viditing and was waiting for us without moving. We had 1.5 hours aprox. To visit each town. Luis was always very friendly and flexible when members of our group were late. It was an excellent experience and I will defenetelly hire his service again if I need a boat to go around the lake!

Thank you Luis for such a good service, Charisma, patience and humility are things that characterize him Totally recommended.
