Great tour!

The tour was great! We were lucky enough to have jamila as our tour guide and she gave us a bit of history of each place and showed us a few hidden gems around Antigua also a few more well known with so much variety. There was heaps of food, my wife and I were so full by the end. Definitely recommend this tour!

Pacaya Hike from Antigua an Adventure with Roasted Marshmallows

Kevin_J, Oct 2026

Challenging, but views worth it!

Quite the view when you reach the top! Fun to see ash rising from Fuego in the distance. But keep in mind, you’re hiking straight up. Even for someone in shape, be ready for doing it with the elevation gain. Could be challenging, it was for me. Roberto was awesome.

Lake Atitlan Day Tour From Antigua

Brenda_Z, Oct 2026

Perfect day trip with many activities and spots for great pics!

The best experience from start to finish! We didn’t have enough time to stay at lake atitlan for multiple days so i booked this day trip and it was perfect. We were never rushed and had plenty of time to explore and even make a couple of stops at some great restaurants. Joel was awesome! He was able to accommodate both English and Spanish for my partner and I. So many quick activities included in this trip that were such a pleasant surprise. Thank you to everyone and the driver as well! Will definitely recommend!

Hike to Pacaya Volcano from Antigua

Lezlie_R, Sep 2026

Best tour and guide!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our tour guide Roberto! Our volcano hike was definitely challenging and pushed us outside of our comfort zones, but having such a kind, patient, and encouraging guide made all the difference. Our guide Roberto was incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and attentive throughout the entire hike. They made sure we were doing okay, encouraged us when things got difficult, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. Their positive attitude and kindness helped us keep going, even during the toughest parts of the climb. We truly appreciated all the little things they did along the way to make the experience special. They shared their knowledge of the area, helped us feel safe and comfortable, and made what could have been an overwhelming hike into an incredible memory that we will always cherish. Thank you so much Roberto for your hard work, patience, encouragement, and for helping us accomplish something we weren’t sure we could do! We are so grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend this tour and guide to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Guatemala. ❤️🌋🇬🇹

Pacaya Volcano Hike from Antigua

rita_m, Sep 2026

This was a good half day...

This was a good half day tour being able to see Pacaya Volcano up close. The whole service was well planned. We were picked up, stopped for an early morning coffee, and then driven to the Volcano. The trek up is steep and not the easiest going up. I took a pony up and down and glad that I did. The majority of the people ended up using ponies to go up. It's harder than you would think getting up there. Shout out to Alejandro sticking with me throughout the whole tour.

Great day visiting Chi Chi

Eduardo and driver Marlon were superb. Excellent information on the culture, politics, economics and history of the Guatemalan/Mayan people. Pace was perfect - not rushed and thoroughly answered our questions. Great way to spend a day. Marlon was an excellent driver in this country filled with motorbikes and serpentine roads.

Guatemalan Cooking Class and Market Tour

AishwaryaVaishali_S, Apr 2026

A must-do experience in Guatemala!

This cooking class was such a highlight of our trip! From start to finish, everything was well organized, fun, and interactive. We got to learn about local ingredients, explore traditional cooking techniques, and actually prepare authentic Guatemalan dishes ourselves. The instructor was incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel very welcoming and personal. The food turned out absolutely delicious, and it was so rewarding to enjoy a meal we made from scratch. It was not just a class, but a cultural experience, highly recommend it to anyone visiting!

Lake Atitlan One Day Tour from Antigua

Susana_K, Apr 2026

Must see place!

Must-see place! The tour operators allowed us to spend most of the time in the last village, Santiago Atitlán, where we stayed for about 2 hours. However, in San Juan La Laguna and San Pedro La Laguna, we only had around 25–30 minutes in each village. In my opinion, the first two villages were the most beautiful, with amazing artistic wall paintings. We didn’t have enough time to fully explore San Juan and San Pedro La Laguna. I would definitely recommend allocating more time to these two villages.

I honestly had an amazing...

I honestly had an amazing time. Everything was on time. Guides were amazing. He was so knowledgeable about the ruins. I would’ve never known what i know now if i had gone through with another tour. I feel very enriched in the culture. The shuttle drivers were also amazing and on time too. As a solo woman traveler i felt EXTREMELYYYYY safe

Iximché Ruins Tour

Katherine_S, Mar 2026

Recommended!!

Great tour! A driver picked us up at our hotel for a semi-private tour with one other couple that we picked up on the way. Explored the grounds and learned about Mayan life from our native, English-speaking guide. Witnessed modern-day Mayan rituals that still take place at the site. Would definitely recommend if you can’t make it to Tikal, which was too far for us to travel on this vacation.

Pacaya Volcano Day Trip from Antigua

Steve_S, Jan 2026

Awesome volcano hike!

One of our favorite excursions. Hiking up to the viewpoint at the base (?) of Volcan Pacaya with beautiful landscapes, and a stop on the way there from our hotel pickup to see Volcan Fuego belching smoke. At various viewpoints we could see all 3 other volcanoes and the different lava flows from recent pacaya eruptions. On the way home we drove by Volcan Agua for more great views and driving through neighboring towns. Our guides were terrific and knowledgeable and the private tour for the two of us made it all the more special. They were also patient with our hiking pace as we climbed.
