A wonderful experience! Mayan Gateway helped us plan our vacation in Guatemala and we could not have made a better choice. From the first time we contacted them the response was prompt and during our trip everything was extremely well organized. Each of the members of the Mayan Gateway agency were courteous, professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. We highly recommend their services and we look forward to working with them in future adventures. James and Dora

Josue was very helpful in getting the last details of a group trip together. He made it easy for us to find our hotel in Antigua and our driver was promptly on time at 4:00am the next morning to take us to the airport to catch a very early flight! Great communication and superb service - highly recommended! Since my organization brings groups down once or twice a year, I will be using his services in the future!

The staff at Mayan Gateway helped us plan and coordinated the logistics for 10 weeks of travel throughout Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica (January-March 2019). The trip was wonderful, and the staff at Mayan Gateway were knowledgeable, helpful, and very responsive. We would not hesitate to travel with their assistance again.

I cannot recommend Mayan Gateway more! We booked a 16 day tour of Guatemala for my 80 year old mother and myself and they were extraordinary! Every hotel was perfect, our driver and guide was so very kind. The day tours were perfectly pitched with knowledgeable local guides and the constant, easy communication with Josue was amazing and so reassuring when we were travelling all the way from South Africa. We were blown away by the level and quality of every part of our trip and will be recommending them to every friend (of every age group and size). It could not have been a better or smoother holiday.

We've traveled to over 50 countries, in both small and larger groups. Mayan Gateway's communication and attention to detail, both before and during our trip, is second to none. The guides were all well-prepared and, in our case, extremely knowledgable about birds and history, which is what we had requested. If we ever go to Guatemala, we will make sure to hire Mayan Gateway again.

We highly recommend this travel agency. They were not only extremely professional but very caring and attentive to our every need. We felt very welcome from beginning to end. The team that accompanied us throughout our 10-day trip to Guatemala made sure we were very comfortable. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was excellent in terms of lodging, food and experiences. We will forever cherish our time with them and our memories during our travels through Guatemala.

Amelio Mariano and Isaac were fantastic hosts and guides. They are now friends. We love the Yucatan. We were informed, felt safe and enjoyed the best of the region. Thank you Mayan Gateway!

We took a group of youth missionaries to Guatemala and ELI was our guide .... it was one of the greatest experiences for the you and the adults, from hiking volcanoes , to zip lining , boating on Lake Atilan, and visiting the little ladies on who make things for the markets. I live in North Carolina and our kids were from all over the USA and everyone in the group had nothing but positive to say. Two thumbs up ELI

Last July we went on a great tour with Mayan Gateway with 3 adults. The tour was on one word excellent. The accommodations and activities were very nice and of a high standard. The drivers were very friendy and helpfull. The biggest plus of this company is the flawless way of communicating. Our contact provided us each day with detailled information of what time, which driver will pick us up and what stuff to bring. We never had to wait or search for a driver. This kind of punctuality and perfection is hard to find in the tourism industry. So a very big recommendation for Mayan Gateway

We had a wonderful experience on our trip to Tikal with Mayan Gateway. They setup a WhatsApp group and were very responsive to questions. They arranged our flights, accommodation, bus travel and guide. Tikal was awe inspiring, and our trip was made especially enjoyable by our very knowledgeable guide, Julio, who indulged our many questions about Mayan civilization and culture.

I booked a Central America Tour during the Holy Week this year with Mayan Gateway. The experience was amazing, I will not hesitate to use them again when I travel to other parts of central America next time. Josue who constant communicated the detail of the tour with me and tailored it to my needs. And most of the tour within Guatemala was conducted by the guide/driver named Eli, who has rich knowledge of Mayan history and I certainly learnt a lot from him. Travelling to Honduras, El Salvador and Belize was also smooth, they always make sure there is a English speak guide/person with me in case there is any problems.

The trip was off the charts! I couldn't believe how many Mayan temples and structures were there - all within walking distance of each other. It was like walking into a parallel universe - like you were going 2000 years back in time. Definitely one of the coolest things I've ever done. Mayan Gateway Tours were awesome. Our tour guide spoke amazing english and knew everything about the area and the ruins. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We were on a tight budget while studying in Xela, but Mayan Gateway worked with us to give us an AMAZING experience at Lake Atitlan for an extremely reasonable price. Very nice people. Very organized. Would HIGHLY recommend and am definitely planning more trips through them during my subsequent visits to Guatemala.

Choose Mayan Gateway! As backpackers of yesteryear, we were hesitant to have someone help us on our Guatemalan/Belizian adventure. But with teen girls, gone are the days of chicken buses, winging it, determining every detail and safety. Josue put together a fantastic itinerary! All the hotels were great and the drivers were amazing. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. I don’t think I have ever had an easier border crossing, seriously.

Mayan Gateway was amazing. After many quotes, questions, and recommendations, Josue made us a perfect, customized itinerary for 9 days in Guatemala and 2 days in Belize. All the drivers and tour guides were on time and very good, the hotels were beautiful, and everyone was easy to contact with questions or concerns (Josue always responded to our texts within 5 minutes). I would highly recommend Mayan Gateway for planning your entire Central America trip!

Josué and his company, Mayan Gateway, did an absolutely superb job organizing our trip. Everything went very smoothly from start to finish, without a single hitch or glitch. The vehicles were impeccably clean and comfortable, the guides and drivers were wonderful and were in constant contact with Josué to make sure that things went as they were supposed to go. There was also a great willingness to be flexible and accommodating with our schedule.

Excellent service for a helicopter tour to El Mirador from Flores. Communication with and payment to company were efficient and easy. We were unable to print paper tickets (which were somehow necessary) so the driver who picked us up at the hotel printed them for us. The equipment and pilot were confidence inspiring. We had a guide who knew El Mirador well and is also an archeologist. It was a great day and well worth the expense. Highly recommend.
