PRIVATE TRAVEL TO GUATEMALA

The Ultimate Guatemalan Expedition, Curated For You

Every detail overseen by a dedicated Guatemalan travel expert

The Reference for Private Guatemala

We do not maintain a catalogue of trips. We hold relationships.

For travelers who have seen the world's expected places, Guatemala remains genuinely rare.  A country of living Maya culture, volcanic highlands and jungle temples that reward those who arrive slowly and well. Guatemalan Concierge exists to open to you the finest Guatemala has to offer. 

The Destinations

Three worlds, one slow crossing.

The colonial heart, the highland lake, and the cradle of the Maya.

The Concierge
I
A Single Hand

Your journey is composed by one concierge from first letter to final farewell, never a call centre, never a template.  You maintain direct access to your concierge.

II
Access, Not Itineraries

Private gates, closed ateliers, tables that do not exist. We trade in relationships built over years on the ground.

III
Attended in Silence

A team moves ahead of you and behind you. The work is invisible; what remains is the country and your attention to it.

Frequently Asked Questions

A few things, before we begin.

We compose fully bespoke private journeys through Guatemala and Central America — private archaeological access at Tikal, highland itineraries on Lago Atitlán, and cultural and culinary immersions in colonial Antigua. Every journey is built by a single concierge in conversation with a single traveler. We do not sell packaged tours.
The dry season, roughly November through April, offers the clearest skies for the highlands and Atitlán. Tikal rewards year-round; the green season — May to October — brings mist over the temples and far fewer travelers. Your concierge will read the calendar to your interests rather than the other way around.
Yes. We hold relationships that allow a private gate and a pre-dawn arrival, placing you at Temple IV for first light before the day's first travelers reach the canopy. It is among the experiences we are best known for.
Each journey is composed individually, so pricing is upon inquiry. After an initial conversation, your concierge proposes an itinerary and an accompanying figure within forty-eight hours — with nothing committed until you are certain.
