Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to our most commonly asked questions. For everything else, a concierge is a message away.

The Firm
We are a private travel agency that composes fully bespoke journeys through Guatemala and Central America for discerning travelers. We do not sell packaged tours. A single concierge designs each itinerary in conversation with each traveler, drawing on long-standing relationships for access that cannot be booked online.
Write to us through the inquiry page, or ask to be introduced. Share an approximate window and what draws you to Guatemala — a concierge will respond personally within forty-eight hours. Nothing is committed until an itinerary is right and you are certain.
Planning & Timing
The dry season runs roughly November through April and offers the clearest highland skies and calmest mornings on Lago Atitlán. The green season, May to October, brings afternoon rains, lush landscapes, atmospheric mist over Tikal, and noticeably fewer travelers. Tikal rewards a visit year-round; your concierge will read the calendar to your interests rather than the other way around.
A considered first journey across Antigua, Lago Atitlán and Tikal is well served by eight to ten days. Five to six days suits a single region in depth. We design to the pace you prefer rather than to a fixed number of stops — and we would always rather you saw less, slowly, than more in a blur.
Yes. We compose journeys for families with the same care as for couples — pacing for younger travelers, age-appropriate access at the ruins, and guides who know how to hold a child's attention as readily as an adult's.
Access & On the Ground
Yes. We hold relationships that allow a private gate and pre-dawn arrival, placing you at Temple IV for first light above the canopy before the day's first travelers reach the site. It is among the experiences we are best known for.
Traveling privately and well, with experienced local guides and drivers, Guatemala is comfortable and welcoming. We arrange discreet, vetted logistics throughout — trusted vehicles, knowledgeable guides, and a concierge reachable at any hour — so that security is present only in its effect, never its appearance.
By private vehicle for the highlands and by light aircraft or helicopter for longer stretches — notably to Tikal, which a short flight reaches in place of a full day's drive. Your concierge chooses each method so that movement is felt as little as possible.
Pricing & Discretion
Because each journey is composed individually, 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. Our work suits travelers for whom the experience, not the line item, is the measure.
We work by introduction and invitation, and we never publicise our guests, their itineraries, or the access we hold. Discretion is not a feature we add; it is the condition under which we operate.
