George’s Travel Club of Guatemala.
Five years ago I packed my bags and bid farewell to NYC and a successful 20 year business career. After a relatively short flight, I arrived in Guatemala where I happily united with several close friends that had just moved to Guatemala. Today Antigua, Guatemala is my home and I have never looked back.
I love mylife here, and I want to do what I can to share this special place with other adventurers interested in traveling to Central and South America – thus, George’s Travel Club of Guatemala.
A trip to Guatemala can be a world-class vacation experience full of amazing places to see and unique things to do. For the average tourist, however, travel in Guatemala can also be very confusing and even dangerous. My clients avoid all of this and simply enjoy their experience here because I handle all the trip details – thus ensuring their safety and ensuring that they see and do only the best that this amazing country has to offer.
The time is now – so why not join me and explore the beautiful and enchanting country of Guatemala!

Travel Club Members’ Testimonials…
How lucky that I found you through a Google search on the term “most visited city in Central America!” From the very first email to the breakfast good-bye, I couldn’t have been in better hands in Antigua. As tormentas, closed airports, sink holes and mudslides wrecked havoc with my travel plans you proactively emailed updates and made adjustments. I never wasted a bit of energy worrying. .

Redefining Service
George, thanks so much for another fabulous trip to Antigua. You made us feel right at home again and it was all very relaxing in such a genuinely beautiful city. The winery on the volcano was a great adventure with really fun friends. My favorite, without a doubt, was zip lining from mountain top to mountain top. Dios Mio! Holy Terror, but exhilarating fun! 
We always enjoy ourselves and adore seeing you. We’ll be back again soon to also spend some time at Lake Atitlan and the coast. Cheers! >>> Erin & Mark, Houston
