We had a lovely time painting ceramics and seeing the studio. It was such a surprise to see everyone's glazed pieces. Make sure to coordinate timing of firing and pick up for smooth transfer of ceramics.

We had a great time, smooth planning, smooth transfer, and everything was more than expected! I would recommend the Temescal for sure as it was very special and different from the temescal found on hotel or yoga sites. The market is as expected and we enjoyed wandering the aisles ourself. It was nice to know the shuttle was reliable, clean, and comfortable. If you have many people, the value is in the private transfer.

This trip was a cultural experience of Guatemala in which I worked closely with Pablo and Sofia to plan a personalized itinerary. It was 10 days of glorious sights, food and people. We had tours of a coffee farm, macadamia nut farm, personalized demonstrations with two different textile creators, and ate with the locals. We also had local guides who knew everything about the cities and the local places to shop and eat. Our driver, Juan, was so patient and stopped whenever we asked for coffee, restroom and food. He was a joy to get to know. This trip was planned for 5 so it was an intimate group which was great. We are already planning another personalized trip with Pablo and Sofia next year.
