We had an amazing experience exploring the villages in and around Antigua. It was easy to book our experience and start our adventure. Driving the ATVs was easy and a great way to get around! Jonny's experience was evident in everything he did, whether it was navigating the streets or sharing historical/cultural information. We would book another experience with Jonny in a heartbeat and highly recommended this adventure!
5Antigua ATV Villages Tour
It was my first ATV drive. I did a group Antigua ATV Villages Tour. I had a wonderful time exploring the towns. Our guide, Ethan, was wonderful, ensuring we stayed together and felt comfortable. He also gave us a brief educational history of the towns. I will truly recommend Simoon Rental and Tours, and our guide Ethan, to family and friends.

About Antigua
Antigua Guatemala is a colonial city of cobbled streets, ruined churches and pastel façades, ringed by three volcanoes in the Guatemalan highlands.
Antigua was the capital of Spanish Guatemala until earthquakes in 1773 led to the move of the government to the present capital. The grid of cobbled streets and low colonial houses survived, together with the ruins of grand churches and convents, and the town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The yellow Santa Catalina Arch, with its clock tower, frames Volcán de Agua at the end of a street.
Top-ranked sights in Antigua: Antigua Central Park (Parque Central), Cerro de la Cruz (Hill of the Cross), La Merced Church (Iglesia de la Merced).
