We offer unique and memorable experiences that collaborate with the communities we visit and support the local economy by partnering with local guides, providers, and artisans.

It was great! The Spanish classes were a good help to improve my Spanish. Loved the home stay. Food was delicious, all the help given was fantastic. A great thanks to my hosts that have become new friends.

Its was a really nice experince to spend a day in Ninos de guatemala, really enjoyed it and learned from it. Thank you for the opportunity.

What a cool tour! After seeing so many chicken buses on the streets of Antigua, it was fascinating to see how they take derelict school buses from the U.S. and completely renovate them into beautiful, "new" and customized transportation! As we walked from place to place, our guide shared many interesting insights about the local area and the local culture. The Worry Doll workshop visit was really fun. We expected to learn about the history and traditions of Worry Dolls, but we did NOT expect to get "hands on" and have the chance to make our very own worry dolls!! Our instructor is a 3rd generation worry doll maker and she was quite adept at helping each of us to construct our very own worry dolls!! So cool that proceeds from this tour support the children at the Ninos de Guatemala schools. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour!!!

We went on the Worry Dolls tour, it was so good! We met in Antigua, got a chicken bus to a town where we went into Rosa’s house to make worry dolls, and then visited a school ran by the organisation. Our guide Andrea was fantastic! She explained everything really well and was very helpful too. Would recommend this tour to see the real Guatemala with the comfort of a guide!

The easiest way to describe my trip is to say that I plan on returning sooner rather than later. I spent 6 weeks volunteering at Escuela Futuro in Ciudad Vieja. The coordination with the office of Ninos de Guatemala made setting up the trip easy. Brandon, my Spanish instructor, did was excellent. Mostly, though, the school was fantastic. The staff and the students were so incredibly genuine and welcoming. My experience was refreshing and life affirming.
