Tough cycling but fantastic views that were well worth the effort
a tough cycling holiday but with so many rewards - fantastic views, excellent hotels, wonderful adaptable guides. our trip gave us so many experiences as we travelled across many different regions of the country

easily adapted to our requests to take our own bikes, get extra leg room seats etc.

Great way to visit Guatemala, although with much less off-road riding than advertised and large/slow groups can be a problem
Highlights are Antigua, Todos Santos, the descent to lake Attilan, and riding cross-country on dirt tracks at 3000m+. Guatemala is a great place to visit by bike. Downsides were that most people got food poisoning, some people struggled with the riding which slowed things down a lot, and off-road riding isn't as advertised.

Everything well organised
KE Adventure Travel responded to this review on 11 Feb 2015:
Hi Tim, we agree this is a great way to visit Guatemala, but we were alarmed to learn about the illness on your trip. As we have run this holiday very successfully for over 10 years with no previous incident, we were very keen to carry out a full investigation. As you know from our private correspondence with you and other members of the group, we now have a detailed report from your trip leaders. Although it appears this was a 'travellers tummy' bug passed between group members, rather than a case of food poisoning, we have never-the-less asked our agent in Guatemala to carry out an audit of all the places we eat on the holiday to ensure they meet our hygiene standards. We are sorry if this tummy bug led to some people struggling and opting for less off road riding.
