1. Flexibility in Itinerary

One of the biggest benefits of booking a custom tour with AKT Tours is the ability to design your own itinerary. With a custom tour, you can decide:

• When you want to start and end each day.
• What activities to prioritize, whether it’s an extended stay at the summit of Acatenango or a more leisurely tour of Antigua.

2. Personal Attention from Expert Guides

• Adjust the route based on your preferences and needs, ensuring that every moment of your tour is tailored just for you.

3. Tailored to Your Fitness Level

Guatemala’s landscapes are diverse, ranging from high volcanic peaks to lush forests and ancient ruins. Custom tours allow us to adapt the physical demands of your experience, so you don’t feel overextended or underwhelmed. For example:

• Intensive Hikes: If you’re up for a challenging hike, we can arrange a route that reaches the summit of Acatenango and gives you more time to enjoy the volcanic landscape.
• Leisurely Strolls: Prefer a slower pace? We can modify the itinerary to include shorter walks, breaks, and more time for sightseeing at historic sites like Iximché.
• Family-Friendly Options: If you’re traveling with kids, we offer family-friendly routes that allow everyone to enjoy the journey safely.

4. Unique Cultural Experiences

Custom tours with AKT Tours provide the opportunity to dive deeper into Guatemala’s rich cultural heritage. Beyond the traditional sites, a custom tour allows you to experience:

• Private Mayan Ceremonies: Participate in an intimate Mayan fire ceremony at Iximché, led by local spiritual guides who offer blessings and insights into ancient traditions.
• Local Community Visits: Spend time in nearby communities, meeting locals who share their crafts, traditions, and everyday life.
• Authentic Culinary Experiences: Enjoy traditional Guatemalan meals tailored to your preferences, from classic dishes to regional specialties. Whether it’s a private cooking lesson or a curated tasting, we can make it happen.

Our custom tours allow you to explore Guatemala through your unique interests, whether they’re cultural, culinary, or adventurous.

5. Travel at Your Own Pace

One of the main reasons travelers choose custom tours is the freedom to travel without feeling rushed. With a custom AKT Tours experience, you set the pace:
