We had a great time in Flores and Tikal. Everything worked out as expected. Excellent guide and transport service

Andrea was a very good, friendly host, she spoke excellent English and we had a nice and open conversation about women's rights and emancipation, and about health care. The trip was nice and I'm happy to have made a financial contribution to the school project of this organization, but the content of the excursion was a bit meager. I would have liked it to be a little more interactive. A discussion with the children in the school would have been nice.

Una visita recomendada. Ir a Guatemala es una excelente experiencia porque rompe con la imagen que las cadenas noticiosas nos han vendido. La calidad humana de su gente es impresionante, mucha educación, mucha formación y respeto. Hay lugares maravillosos por conocer en este bonito país, los cuales se pueden visitar de las manos de fantásticos guías que nos brindan un servicio formidable para que conozcamos la mejor escencia de los guatemaltecos. Les aseguro de que quedarán con el deseo de repetir. Un PLUS que nos brindan los guías de Niños de Guatemala es que aman el trabajo que realizan, así como todos los involucrados de la fundación. Todo lo que hagamos es un aporte a las escuelas de la fundación. ¡País recomendado!

We are a family of 4 with young children, and all us of loved travelling on the local buses, seeing how they are made, and visiting the primary school. Our guide was friendly, informative and engaging! The trip was a great way to understand the local realities better. A great morning that we will all remember!

Really good trip, great guides - one locally based guide and another two Antigua based guides to translate and provide additional context. The trip we were on was very small, two couples and the guides. Tania, the main guide, spoke perfect English and translated the information from Miguel (the locally based guide) who explained and showed photographs from previous eruptions. Booking through ninos de Guatemala is a bit more expensive than through other agencies, but the extra cash goes directly to helping children in the area - a very worthwhile cause. I cannot recommend this trip enough and wanted to say thanks again to Tania and her colleagues for taking good care of us throughout. One tip, the route from Antigua to Pacaya is very mountainous with lots of curvy roads. Take some motion sickness 30 minutes prior to pick up.
