I'm not going until February, but it's never too early to start doing your homework. I was wondering if anyone has been to the Las Escobas waterfall. Any input would be appreciated. Also, if anyone has done this tour, was it booked through the ship or privately.

Thanks!

I booked one with a city tour at the dock. It was GREAT. The price at that time was $35.

Lots of pictures here to see it is your cup of tea:
NCL Sun 2006 Puerto Santo Tomas de Castilla Guatemala

I'm scheduled to return again in December on NCL Spirit.

Ok, thanks. I figured there were be plenty of options to choose from once we got there. The price for this tour is $69.00 per person. (I'm sailiing on the NCL Spirit in February.) I'm hoping for cheaper. After you go in December, you'll have to fill me in.

Inside the terminal building there are many booths selling tours - I think lots are selling the same tours.

Outside the building, people will be trying to sell you tours, but what they are really trying to do is escort you to one booth or another. They may receive a small commission and will probably ask you for a tip.

You can ignore them or not. (Guatemala is very poor and it may be the only income for some)

I don't know if she is still doing tours, but you might email the tour guide I used and see if she is still doing the tour and/or what tours are available and prices. She was a real sweetheart and very good as well. They all charge the same.

I'll report back what i find in December, as well.
