| About Us |
Adrenalina Tours, is one of the most experienced tour
operators in Guatemala. Our main office is in
Quetzaltenango, the principal city of the Western Highlands
and the second largest city in Guatemala. Our other office is
in Antigua, which is one hour away from Guatemala City and the
airport, and usually the first destination for visitors in
this fascinating country.
We also have an office in Huehuetenango, which concentrates on natural, social and cultural attractions – where most of the communities still have (through the practice) inherited traditions of their forefathers. Soon we
will open an office in Panajachel on lake Atitlan. From
these offices we offer many services that cover all of
Guatemala and extend into Mexico, Belize, Honduras and El
Salvador.
We operate daily shuttles to and from major tourist
destinations in the Western Highlands and offer arranged
service to and from the airport. We offer half-day and full-day tours to indigenous villages, markets, and colonial
churches. We offer several hikes with different levels of difficulty,
some with a duration of several days. We offer packaged tours with durations from one to several days. These tours take you to the most
interesting and beautiful places in our little part of the
world. |

| Hi Patrick,
My friend had a great time climbing Santa Maria and Laguna Chicabal. She said the service was excellent. She needs to go to Mexico tomorrow to get a flight from Tuxla Gutierrez on Tuesday. Do you have a shuttle going to La Mesilla or Tapachula?
Thanks

| Dear Javier,
I wanted to write and thank you for your service.
When my plans were disrupted when the shuttle failed to pick me up to go to Tikal (from Antigua), I was quite upset. However, your sincerity and customer service was great and helped in dissolving my frustration.
Thank you for your time and efforts. You are surely an asset to Adrenalina Tours!

| Dag Patrick,
Ondertussen zijn wij het gewone leven al terug gewend en is het werk ons al niet meer vreemd. Toch willen wij nog even stilstaan bij onze huwelijksreis en jou daarbij speciaal bedanken.
Wij hebben een prachtige reis gehad. Het programma, de timing, de locaties, de gastvrijheid en de service waren top! We hebben Guatemala gezien zoals we het wilden zien.
Ook in Belize zijn we ontvangen geweest als koningen. We zijn ook daarover ontzettend tevreden. De suite, het uitzicht, het zéér lekker eten waren de kers op de taart.
Wij willen u ook nog bedanken voor de upgrade naar de luxesuite. Het zorgde ervoor dat we onze laatste dagen nog leuker konden beleven!
Indien vrienden of familie willen reizen naar Guatemala, weten wij met wie ze moeten reizen. We zeggen het voort!
Veel succes verder en dank voor alles.

| Hola Edwin! Saludos desde Miami Beach. Quería darte las gracias una vez más por la hospitalidad en mis aventuras Guatemaltecas. Mis dos semanas en Guatemala son inolvidables. Me siento muy afortunada de haber tenido la oportunidad de conocerte, ver las bellas montañas y volcanes,y de estudiar con los profesores maravillosos y estudiantes en el Centro Maya Xela. Has inspirado a tanta gente en el trabajo que haces, la naturaleza es una cosa tan preciosa y me has inspirado también. Tienes una pasión por lo que haces, una cualidad poco común en estos días. Yo conocía muy poco de la naturaleza de tu país tan lindo, y muy poco de la historia indígena. Eras como mi profesor de todas cosas Guatemaltecas (y también de españolI), y aprendí mucho mi amigo nuevo. Alex también es un guía excelente, pero no tengo su correo electrónico. Conocí mucha gente con el en el trek por las montañas, y también fue un experiencia inolvidable. Hice cinco toures diferentes con tu buena compañia...el trek al volcán Santiaguito...el trek de tres días con Alex...en bicicleta por los pueblos hermosos contigo...en caballo en San Pedro...y el parasailing a fuera de Panajachel! Soy un experto sobre los toures de Adrenalina! La próxima vez quisiera hacer el tour hasta la ruinas, si tuvieras tiempo Edwin.
Acabo de terminar un video de la escuela, de mi familia Rocío en Xela, de mi familia tan alegre en las montañas (la familia de Clara), de mis nuevos amigos, de mis muchas aventuras en las montañas contigo, de Alex y los otros guias, y lo más importante de toda la gente indígenas y maravillosa que conocí a lo largo del camino. Mis mejores recuerdos la naturaleza y historia indígena, y de la escuela y la gente de Guatemala son los recuerdos que voy a apreciar toda mi vida, y espero que el video lo refleje. He enviado dos copias del vídeo a tu oficina esta mañana, y debería llegar en unas dos semanas...una copia para ti, y otro para Alex. También, envié dos libros de fotos, uno para ti, y otro para la familia de Clara. Puse algunas de las fotos de mi viaje en Facebook, y te enviaré una invitación si te gustaría verlas.
No sólo tuve la oportunidad de hacer aventuras divinas y de estudiar español en la bella escuela Centro Maya Xela, pero también tuve la maravillosa oportunidad de aprender más sobre tu cultura, costumbres, la naturaleza, y la belleza de Guatemala, y eras una parte importante de mi viaje increíble. Me habría quedado más tiempo en tu país tan hermoso si hubiera tenido el tiempo. Gracias de nuevo querido amigo. He adjuntado unas fotos de mi viaje a Guatemala y de la escuela hermosa, de mis aventuras, y de la gente que conocí.
Hasta la próxima vez Edvin...y espero que pueda regresar pronto!

| Hi,
We just returned from our guatemala trip yesterday,
Everything went perfectly and Andres did his job very well. I would like to mention the EXCELLENT work of Salim, our private driver, who took us to Semuc Champey, Lanquin, Boquerón Canyon, Finca Paraiso and Rio Dulce in a really bad road (lanquin-cahabon). I also want to mention that our guide, Edwin (not sure of the orthograph), for the Santiaguito trek was AMAZING!!! You have very good people working for you.
I will definitely recommend your agency to my friends :)
have a nice day
Brigitte
PS: do you have the personal email of Edwin...i have pictures for him and i would like to ask him some pictures as well :)

| Hello Patrick
I just want to tell you that everything worked out well for us. We had a little trouble getting picked up but that was due to our flight coming in late. In the same way, we were unable to stop at Iximche on the way to Pana. Although our driver made a valiant attempt, the combination of a late arrival and some pretty horrible traffic made it impossible to get to Iximche before it would have closed. Again, this was not the drivers fault, he was great.
Also, in Pana, Diego was very helpful to us and all our vouchers were all setup when we arrived. Diego also went the extra mile to make sure we got the right boat out to Santiago. The trip to and from Chichi also worked out fine.
With reference to the Posada de Santiago, the room that we were given was perfectly acceptable and we had a lovely experience there.
We look forward to working with you again on our next trip to Guatemala.
Jim Donegan

| Dear Patrick,
I wanted to tell you how much we appreciated working with Adrenalina tours.
Mario, Ingrid and Fidenzio were particularly helpful. We will highly recommend your services. On our next visit to Guatemala we hope to have more time with Mario. He was very knowledgeable and always extremely helpful.
We had one disappointing day when we were provided a poorly functioning car on our return to Antigua and thus were unable to make the stops we had requested. Overall, though, your services, and particularly the staff members we noted were excellent. We have already recommended your company to other travelers. Congratulations on a great company
Best regards,
Bruce Silverman and Courtney Nevitt

| Estimado amigo Pedro.
Hoy pude, por fin, hablar con Alvin y con Gladys y obtener
una dirección donde comunicarme contigo. La temperatura
por acá ha estado bastante fea, con mucho frío y mucha
nieve. Además, volver a ponerse al día con el negocio y
otros asuntos personales se lleva bastante tiempo.
Te quería expresar
mis más sinceras gracias por toda tu amabilidad y tu
bonito gesto de permitinos compartir un rato tan agradable
con tu linda familia. De todas las cosas que hicimos, esa
fue una de las que se nos quedó grabada para siempre,
porque fue netamente auténtica. La gente no se da cuenta que
cada uno de nosotros somos un embajador de nuestros países
y Guatemala quedó muy bien representada por tu familia.
Hazle llegar nuestros sentimientos a tu esposa y a tu cuñada.
A tu hijo, como le dije, que persevere y continúe su educación
que ese es el pasaporte a una vida mejor.
Las películas salieron muy bien, pero nadie las ha visto todavía.
Pensamos reunirnos pronto ahora que Roy y Lucrecia ya regresaron.
Te diré que me dió mucha pena no poder despedirme de ti en persona .
La gente del hotel no nos dio tu mensaje, a pesar de que les estuve
preguntando todo el día anterior a nuestra salida. Muchas gracias por
hacernos llegar la batería para la cámara y gracias por pasar a recogernos.
Habíamos salido unos minutos antes de que llegaras.
Annette y yo la pasamos bien en los días
que estuvimos en la ciudad. La verdad es que nos permitió conocer
otra cara de Guatemala, muy moderna y muy sofisticada. Todos los
días caminábamos por la zona X, y a pesar de que nos pusieron
sobre aviso, no tuvimos ningún percance. Después de haber vivido
en Nueva York y en Detroit ya sé más que bien cómo comportarme
en las grandes ciudades.
Tomamos un Tour por toda la ciudad, fuimos a la sección de embajadas,
a los museos y a muchos restaurantes, incluso el Portal del Angel, que
me pareció una maravilla. Lo principal fue que deceleramos el paso
y descansamos mucho, algo que le vino muy bien a mi señora que
no andaba muy bien de salud (Por eso decidimos no ir a Tikal).
Bueno, Pedro, ya estamos aclimatados otra vez en Michigan, pasando frío
y extrañando a Guatemala. Gracias otra vez por ayudarnos a conocer
a tu país y por la manera tan profesional y eficiente en que desempeñaste tu
labor. Espero que tengamos la oportunidad de compartir otra vez.
Aquí estamos a tu disposición para lo que se te ofrezca.
Abrazos de
Mariano y Annette Pallarés

| I've just returned from a month in Guatemala. Prior to my arrival I contacted Javier at Adrenalina Tours via e-mail to arrange a couple of shuttles. During my visit I had the opportunity to meet Javier in person at the Antigua office. Not only were he and his staff professional and helpful, he even went so far as to introduce me to regional cuisine at an unknown, except to locals, establishment. Over the following weeks I referred no less than 6 other friends to Adrenalina, all of whom were equally as happy with their services. Whenever I return to Guatemala, I now know that I'll receive personal and highly effective service from Javier and the Adrenalina staff in Antigua. Many thanks! |

| Dear Pablo
It's a long time ago (24. April 2009) when we have made a tour on the Lago
Atitlan with you. And we promised then to you, to send you some picture.
It was great and very interessting day and we very so happy to have you as a
tourguide. You told us so many interessting things about Guatemala, the
people, the culture etc. etc.
I don't know if you remeber us? We are from Switzerland. We were travelling
from Venezuela to Mexico.
Here in Switzerland we have now autome and all the trees became now red and
yellow leaves. It looks very nice. But the temperature ist quite cold. (
about 10 Celcius).
We hope you and your family are doing well and everething is ok. You live in
a such a nice country, and we are lucky that we could visit it. Gracias!!!

| Hi Patrick,
It's Scott, the Canadian who was next to you on the semi-defective Pullmantur bus from San Salvador last week.
I just wanted to say thanks for setting up the Pacaya tour for me from the bus. I was late enough arriving in Antigua that I likely wouldn't have been able to get a tour that evening, and my flight was early enough the next day that I wouldn't have had a chance to go. The volcano was amazing: a large river of lava was flowing that day! A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Thanks again.

Anyway - thanks for your help, we had a wonderful time in Guatemala.

| Hi Patrick,
I think everything worked out very nicely, and I am sorry I haven’t contacted you sooner. The van driver in Antigua showed up promptly. He did ask for a voucher, but I didn’t have one. I showed him my e-mails, and he was fine with those and was happy to take us to the airport. We had no trouble there (except we forgot about the airport tax) and got to Flores just fine.
The driver there offered to take us to Yaxha for a little extra, so we did that, and it was a very nice side trip.
When we got to the Jungle Lodge, they, too, asked for a voucher, but since I didn’t have one and they had our reservations anyway, that worked out ok. The accommodations at the Jungle Lodge were fine. They have batteries to store the electricity. The batteries are on a grid system, and sometimes the systems went out so we had no electricity for several hours. I took a small portable fan with me that operates on 2 D batteries, and that made a huge difference when trying to sleep without the comfort of the ceiling fan when the electricity was off.
The guide in Tikal, Luis, was fabulous and took us out the first day, explaining about the Mayan people, customs, buildings, legends, birds, trees, flowers. He is very knowledgeable. He offered to take us out very early the next day, too, for a little extra, so we did that and saw some mammals and lots of birds. Although we paid him for entrance to the park, we did not get any type of receipt so we were not able to go back into the park later that day for more exploration. But that was ok, too. We saw lots of monkeys and Toucans right around the pool, and it was pretty hot and humid, so we were content to just kick back and take it easy.
The van taking us back to the airport was late. Apparently the driver showed up and wanted to take a nap. He was supposed to drive us at 2 and there were at least 2 groups of us (about 15 people) waiting for him to get up from his nap. His van was there, parked up a little ways from the reception area of the hotel and he finally woke up and got the van started close to 2:30. He then had to speed through the park, which we know he’s not supposed to do. We arrived at the airport and luckily our plane did not take off on time, so it all turned out ok. That was the only negative thing.
I believe you also arranged for the Westin’s van to be there to pick us up and take us to the hotel, because they were there waiting for us, and that was great. The Westin is quite nice, and their food is very good.
If you want to know about the food at the Jungle Lodge, I can tell you that I think it’s overpriced for what you get, they were out of many of the items that they offered on their menu, and it was just ok. We ended up twice at the Tikal Inn, I believe, to eat there. It’s a lot less expensive, and was about the same quality. Also, the Jungle Lodge only offers one bottle of water per room as complimentary, and it’s a small bottle. It would be nice if they would offer two bottles, one for each person instead of one bottle per room. We talked with them about that, but they said it was their policy for one bottle per room.
Thank you so very much for arranging all the tours, the transportation, and everything that went with the trip to Tikal. We had an absolutely wonderful time. If I get the opportunity, I will recommend your company to others. You did a fabulous job!
Muchas gracias,
Barbara

Acabo de llegar de Mexico a España para incorporarme a España. Quería darles las gracias por la organización de mi viaje a Guatemala que practicamente salio perfecto.
Estoy muy satisfecha de los hoteles, especialmente del Hotel Tikal.
Incluso estoy muy contenta con el trato recibido en el hotel de menor categoria, la Pension Belen, en la el trato al cliente es extraordinariamente bueno.
Salvo el viaje de Chichi a Guatemala donde se perdio mucho tiempo, los transportes han sido rápidos y eficaces.
Quiero agradecerles las ayuda prestada que recomendaré a quienes conozcan viajen a Guatemala.

| Buenas tardes, Diego.
Esperando que estés muy bien, gracias por tu saludo y por los buenos deseos de regreso feliz a Colombia.
Te cuento que nos fue muy bien y ya de nuevo estamos en nuestra labores cotidianas.
Muchas gracias a ti y a todo el equipo de Adrenalina Tours, todo salió perfecto, en especial mis agradecimientos y felicitaciones a la formidable Sarita, es una excelente representante y anfitriona en nombre de Adrenalina Tours, hicimos una excelente empatía, supero nuestras expectativas. (por favor hacerle llegar este comentario al gran Jefe en Adrenalina, para que sepa en el gran equipo de trabajo que tiene).
Y por el otro lado al inimitable y siempre charro “ERICK”, que personaje. Como no tuve la oportunidad de despedirme de él, Diego te pido el favor de enviarme la dirección electrónica donde me puedo comunicar con él, te agradecería.
De este mail le estoy haciendo copia al profesor Jose fernando Acevedo, quien también va para Guatemala, próximamente, y está interesado en ir a Antigua y conocer sus alrededores, un tour similar al que realizamos en Antigua y sus pueblos cercanos, recogiéndolo en Ciudad, ya él te contará, para que por favor lo trates con cariño en el precio y en la atención, ya él se comunicará contigo para efectos de concretar qué es lo que quiere y que fechas tienen disponibles.
Bueno, no queda otra cosa que recomendarte de nuevo la dirección electrónica de Erick y como dijo Soda Stéreo en su concierto de despedida por desintegración del grupo en Argentina,
GRACIAS TOTATELS……….

| Hi Patrick,
We have returned from our trip to Guatemala, and I would like to thank you once again for your assistance. Your team of drivers were excellent, courteous, prompt.
It was great to meet you while we were in Xela.
By the way, our accommodations at Dos Loros Inn in Antigua were excellent. It's a small, recently renovated place, owned by an American. Has 6 spacious rooms, with beautifully-appointed bathrooms. Along with a large kitchen available for guests to prepare their meals. Especially good for guests planning for an extended stay in Antigua.

| Dag Patrick,
Na een lange rit kwamen wij aan bij onze familie.
We waren nog niet goed en wel uitgestapt of de kinderen uit de buurt kwamen ons al verwelkomen en bekijken.
De vrouw des hises wees ons waar we sliepen,het was eenvoudig maar zeer proper.Het was hun slaapkamer,eetkamer,voorraadkamer enz. kortom dit was een echte "living room"in de letterlijke zin van het woord.
Intussen waren de drie kinderen aangekomen van school en beschouwden ons direkt als hun abuelos.Moesten direkt onze naam weten en van welk land dat we kwamen en het plezantse voor hen was dat Monique het Spaans machtig was,wat op dat moment nog niet van mij gezegd kon worden.
In de namiddag wandeling en boottocht gemaakt met lokale gids,hebben ons nog nooit zo dicht gevoeld bij de natuur.
Na het avondeten zaten wij buiten in het donker met een hoofdlamp op in gezelschap van de kinderen.Wij hebben ons allen geweldig vermaakt met vertellen en tekenen van allerhande dingen.
Onze ervaring kan ik het beste vgl. met een venster.Hier kijkt men erdoor en bij ons hangen we er gordijnen voor terwijl het gebodene spektakel gratis is.
Groetjes Stan,constant.carpentier@telenet.be

Dear Patrick
sorry for the delay in replying to you
- it's been rather hectic since we got back
We had a fantastic time over the 3 weeks, thank you for great organisation
There are too many highlights to pick out single ones
Favourite country: Guatamala
Favourite experiences: posada caribe in sayaxche, tikal, roatan, el salvador
Favourite hotel: la cocatera was amazing
The travel agent in el salvador, Veroinca, was fantastic
Birthday in san pedro sula with the paz family was also a highlight
Otto was great fun & an interesting character!
What could have been better:
the hotel (B&B) in roatan could have been closer to the sea
San pedro sula is not great for tourists, but the evening with the family was v enjoyable
The only things I would have changed is that we would not have bothered with Casa Santa Domingo Hotel for our final night - the room was too small for 5 people
Pico Bonito is in a great setting, but the meals v expensive - you were right in telling us 2 nights was enough
We would have spent an extra night in La Cocatera in El Salvador
Overall we had a wonderful time, the children said it was their favourite holiday ever!We shall certainly reccommend you to our friends - we have already had enquiries
Thank you once againg for your expert organisation, and hope to be calling on you again

| hola sara, espero que se acuerde de nosotros, somos pilar y guillermo un matrimonio de españoles al que llevo a la estacion de autobuses en la capital para tomar el autobus hacia tikal que venia de panajachel y que casi pierde el bus, pero gracias a usted no lo perdimos, nos hemos acordado mucho de usted, fue como un angel que se cruzo en nuestro camino y le estamos muy agradecidos por la molestia y cariño con el que nos atendio.
le prometimos escribirle desde tikal, pero con las prisas de los viajes, la dificultad de encontrar ordenador no lo hicimos.
ahora estamos ya en la recta final de nuestro viaje por guatemala, estamos en la capital hasta el viernes por la mañana que tomamos el avion, queriamos estar aqui para ir a un museo y visitar la zona 1.
nos ha encantado su pais, estamos enamorados de el, es precioso, muy interesante y estamos deseando volver, pero ahora nos tenemos que volver a trabajar, el tiempo se ha pasado muy rapido.
muchas gracias por todo y un beso muy fuerte.
pilar y guillermo.

| Hello Pat,
I just got back from Honduras and would like to thank you for all the work coordinating the trip for us. It turned out great, a few little blips, mixed up hotels and some meal locations, but that is quite expected in Guatemala. Again, thanks for everything, the kids and I enjoyed the trip and Pedro the driver/tour guide. Cheers,
Derek

| Hola Diego,
We are now back in Canada safe and sound. It is much colder here but not as cold as when we left on Feb 8th.... The sun is shining right now and it is about 1 C outside... soon winter will be over and we will enjoy warmer temperatures ....20 - 30 C beginning in June.
Kelly and I would like to thank you for all the arrangements you made for us for our adventure in Guatemala... all the transportation was right on time and the accomodations were very good... We really enjoyed Posada La Merced in Antigua and felt very safe... We told the owner we would highly recommend her Posada to anyone...
Cafe el Sol in Montericco was also nice and we enjoyed the warmth, ocean, playa and pool. Our accomodations in Flores were nice and comfortable.
We especially enjoyed our stay in the bungalows in Tikal, Rio Dulce and Finca Tatin. Our Tikal tour guide Bertha was fantastic and very knowledgeable. The whole trip was quite magical and we always felt safe and well looked after. Thanks for organizing this for us... we would highly recommend Adrenalina to anyone we know who plans to travel in Guatemala.
Thanks again...

| Dear Diego: I want to thank you for the wonderful vacation we had recently in guatemala. the hikes were spectacular and the guides were terrific...very patient and always putting safety first. i want to particjlarly coomend the second guide (carlos?) for his enthusiasm and his encouragement. as you know, the hike wound up taking nearly 18 hours! but we did complete it and it was a great feeling. i certainly could never have done it without him. in addition, the taxi driver's were great. i work for an international road safety organization, and so i am particularly alert to good driving. the driver's we had were excellent and the vehicles were also excellent. if i could make one suggestion, the drivers perhaps shouldn't talk on the cell phones while they drive, but, even when this happened, i knew they were still very attentive to the road. the hotels were also very nice. thank you also for your flexibility when i needed to make some changes in the itinerary. in short, a great trip and i thank you for all of your efforts. you have a beautiful country. be well, paul blank |

| Dag Patrick,
ondertussen geacclimatiseerd en weer aan de slag.
We hebben het in ieder geval zeer goed gesteld en hebben onze trip niet beklaagd;
Guatemala is een prachtig land qua natuur (jammer van het vele vuil -maar dat zal hun prioriteit niet zijn-);
veel vriendelijke mensen.
Het reisschema zat goed in mekaar en de meeste hotels spraken ons wel aan (alhoewel sommige bedden een betere matras verdienen).
We hebben het goed getroffen met Henry, hopelijk was hij ook tevreden met ons gezelschap: we zullen hem nog wel een aantal foto's doorsturen. Het was voor ons ook een verrassing dat we telkens maar met z'n 2' (3')en waren; nooit geen gecomb. shuttle-vervoer; vanuit Antigua moet je natuurlijk je manager aanspreken (heb je al gezegd). Henry is overigens een zeer goede chauffeur, steeds bezorgd om onze veiligheid (geef hem maar een pluim).
we hebben ons nooit onveilig gevoeld, alhoewel we toch verschillende signalen kregen dat het toch voorzichtigheid geblazen was (?): voorzichtigheid van Henry, andere toeristen, kranten,...
de bezoeken bij de locals zijn ook zeer goed meegevallen/ Julian, Carlos: probeer dit maar iedere keer in te lassen.
als je nog vragen hebt, contacteer ons maar,
groeten,
en tot de volgende (?) keer.
gerda en hugo

| Dear Patrick,
Now that we're back home, I thought I'd give you a review of all the arrangements you made, including our opinion of the hotels.
The trip was very well organized and we immensely enjoyed ourselves. We tried to call you before we left, but your mobile phone seemed to be closed.
First, the hotels:
San Cristobal - Plaza Magnolia - Very good hotel. The main building, which we stayed in, has been named a national heritage landmark
Palenque - Xibalba - Pleasant hotel, 5 minute walk to a large, well-stocked supermarket, adjacent to an excellent seafood restaurant
Xela - Casa Manen - Unique building for us. Could live in it.
Panachanel - Hotel Dos Mundos - Very nice hotel, nice staff, good complementary breakfast
Chichicastenango - Mayan Inn - Same as Casa Manen
Coban - Casa Duranta - Good hotel, pleasant staff
Antigua - Casa Mia - Good hotel, problematic location (out of town) if you don't have your own private transportation. Language problems with night staff (only one young man who doesn't speak a word of English)
Antigua - Posada La Merced - Good hotel, manager is English, so no language problems
Posada Caribe - Suggest to Julian that he consider installing a system guaranteeing electricity at all times and put in hot showers. Very basic, and very clean. If you can accept the lack of comfort that you get in 4-5 star hotels (which we had no trouble with), Posada Caribe is not to be missed. Wonderful hike/tour of Aquateca with Julian's assistant, David.
Recommendation - Arrive at night. The boat ride in the dark is fantastic, something out of a Hollywood movie, or National Geographic nature film.
Flores - Casazul - Pleasant hotel for the price. Great to sit on the veranda overlooking the lake and drink a cup of coffee or a late-night cocktail. Recommend 2nd or 3rd floor rooms only, due to mosquitoes on the ground floor
On the way to Sayache, we stopped at the underground caverns (I forgot the name) and Semuc Champey, and toured them alone. We believe that the authorities should provide a guide specializing in each place should accompany any group and people should not be allowed to go alone, as there can be danger.
The services you provided were at a very high, and professional, level. The only negative comment we have is regarding Flores. We knew we were going to Tikal in a collective shuttle, but didn't realize the plane from Antigua was an hour late. We apologize for our complaint about this.
All in all, we were very satisfied with all the arrangements and have said so to all our acquaitances.
Sincerely,
Mark

| Hallo Jan,
Dit mailtje om je nog even te bedanken om me aan het mailadres van Patrick Vercoutere te helpen !!
We zijn net (sinds gisteren) terug thuis en het was werkelijk de moeite ! We zijn zeer enthousiast over het land, de reis én de organisatie (we hadden wel in Guatemala wat pech met het regenweer maar daar kan niemand wat aan doen natuurlijk) !
We zijn ook even langs geweest in de ViaVia in Copan Ruinas en moet je veel groeten doen van Geert-van-de-ViaVia !
Men zegge het dus voort : Guatemala is een echte goede vakantiebestemming !!! En Adrenalinatours (www.adrenalinatours.com) (Patricks reisorganistatie) is een aanrader voor de Guatemalareiziger !!
Nogmaals dank en tot een volgende gelegenheid.
Geert Massant en Renild Janssens

| I very much enjoyed the day I spent at the coffee farm El Patrocinio nearby QUETZALTEANGO with Adrenalina Tours. Paulino, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the plethora of beautiful birds, flowers, and trees we saw in the peaceful finca and nature preserve. We started out the day in an observation tower listening to the birds chirping and the water cascading through the scenic valley. We then walked through the woods toward the coffee, cocoa, and macadamia fields where we learned about the operation of the finca. We ended the day in their outdoor dining room and observation deck with a wonderful meal and great conversation with our tour guide and other people at the finca. Between the owl spotting, the picturesque waterfall , the exotic nature hike and the great company, I cannot think of a better way to spend a day. THANK YOU SO MUCH ! |

| Soy antropologo. Hace un par de dias hable con un empleado suyo desde EEUU. Le pedi informes sobre dentistas en Guatemala. Me ha ayudado mucho. Era un hombre muy cortes.
Se que vivia en San Francisco en mi pais y que habla muy bien el ingles. Creo que se llama Javier Corona. Perdone la molestia si estoy equivocado y si el trabaja por otra agencia. Encontre su numero de telefono en el libro Lonely Planet, asi estoy casi seguro que trabaja Javier por Adrenalina Tours.
De todas maneras, si se encuentra en su oficina en Antigua digale que le agradezco mucho por los informes que me dio. Seguramente usare los servicios de Adrenalina si llego a Antigua a finales de octubre. Voy primero a un dentista en la capital.
un cordial saludo,
Dr. John Mamone |

| Hola Patrick,
Qué tal? La verdad es que una vez más, nosotras con MUCHO RETRASO!!!!
Llevamos queriendo escribirte este mail desde que volvimos de Guatemala, tristemente, el pasado 26 de julio.El motivo del mail es simplemente para DARTE LAS GRACIAS, y sí, en mayúsculas!!! Han sido 2 semanas INCREIBLES!!!
Si Guatemala nos ha encantado, Giovani ha sido INCREIBLE......sin palabras.....siempre sonriente, siempre dispuesto a ayudarnos, a aconsejarnos, a tranquilizarnos.....la verdad es que nos lo hemos pasado en grande con él!! Sin Giovani Guate no hubiese sido lo mismo!!! Las mismas palabras para Adrenalina Tours y para ti.....el servicio y la atención han sido inmejorables desde el primer día hasta el último!! y eso que al final os liamos bastante con el tema del cambio de la selva a última hora,...etc. pero con todo y con ello,vosotros no perdisteis las buenas formas y nos ayudasteis y apoyasteis hasta el final!! Haciendo que el viaje finalizara para las siete con un gran recuerdo y una gran sonrisa!
En nombre de todo el grupo Patrik; MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS!!!! Tenemos un recuerdo inmejorable del viaje y no tengáis duda de que cada vez q hablamos de Guatemala, hablamos de vosotros!!! Así que esperamos poder enviar a mucha gente del País Vasco a Guatemala con Adrenalina, y si puede ser, con Giovani!!!
Por cierto, dile a giovani que estamos recopilando las mejores fotos para enviarselas!!! Aunque ya sabes, que una vez q hemos vuelto al trabajo, somos bastante lentas en hacer las cosas.....como este mail!!!
No me alargo más, simplemente GRACIAS!!! Tenemos un gran recuerdo!!!
Saludos
johana y las SIETE!!!

| Adrenalina Tours,
Having used your excellent services twice when in Xela two years ago
I'm planning to return in about 13 months and wondering about a tour
to El Salvador and or Honduras lasting about 10 days or 2 weeks?
Since I plan to study Spanish in Xela my first 3 weeks there it
would be later in April after Easter or in early May.

| I was with the group that had the privilege of having Lucas as the driver of the bus Feb. 2nd. - Feb 10th. I just wanted to send an e-mail to tell you what a wonderful job he did for our group. He is a very careful driver and showed us alot of wonderful places. It was exciting to have a driver that mixed with the group.
Lucas is a very nice person and you are lucky to have him as an employee.

| Dear Pieter, we spent November in Guatemala. We used Adrenalina many times to buy shuttle and airline tickets. It felt like home. All employees were very helpful, especially Javier in Antigua. You drivers are great people. One took us all the way into a little village, San Jorge, where we visited some friends of Sonja's. All together we had a wonderful time in Guatemala. The people arewonderful the scenery outstanding.Thanks again,
