Guatemala is one of the most incredible places to visit in Central America. There are volcanoes, jungles, beaches, major cities, and indigenous villages. If you can think of it, chances are that you can probably find it in Guatemala. The problem with having so many incredible things to see is not knowing where to start. That’s why we were so thankful for Omnium Travel Guatemala, a local Guatemalan travel company.
Whether it was tours or transportation, OTG took care of everything for us. It was so helpful being picked up directly from our AirBnB in Guatemala city and driven all around the country in their brand new luxury shuttle. The founder Yves has more than 25 years of experience in the travel industry. OTG has visitors from around the world and has guides that are fluent in Spanish, English, French, Italian, and Dutch! We loved having a personal translator everywhere we went.Â
Although Guatemala is a relatively safe country, it was great not having to worry about public transportation or venturing into an unsafe area. We felt very safe the entire time we were in the country. If this is your first time traveling to Central America, having a local guide can be very helpful.
We love working with local companies and with Yves it felt like we were being shown around the country by a new friend! Whether it was riding a water taxi on Lake Atitlan or navigating the traffic of Guatemala City, Yves made it seem effortless. Omnium Travel Guatemala has connections with dozens of local businesses from around the country. So instead of booking with a large travel agency, you know that you are supporting a local small business.Â
With only six days in Guatemala, we wanted to maximize every second we had. Omnium Travel Guatemala knows the entire country and has countless different options. We just told them what we wanted to see, the time we had to see it, and they made it happen! Some of their most popular destinations are Antigua, Lake Atitlán, Tikal, and Quetzaltenango.
