Top Antigua Walking Tours - page 2

Highly recommended. Unforgettable truck trip up the Volcan de Aqua with guide Axel and coffee farmer Mr. Filiberto to see his plants and learn about his business. Down the mountain, we stopped to roast and drink coffee with Mr. Filiberto’s daughter. Kudos to Axel for sponsoring a tour that directly supports local coffee farmers.

Our driver was super friendly, arrived on time, and we were able to coordinate a departure time so that we arrived to the airport without any issues. We had 9 people in our car and 3 of them elderly. The driver was super helpful with our family members. Appreciated it.

Honestly was an amazing experience for the price. First things first, the entrance fee is Q100 and the horse to the top only is Q300. Ok next, if you are coming from a place of low altitude, I recommend you give yourself atleast a day to acclimatize your body because this was really hard for me coming from the Caribbean, I’m pretty sure I had altitude sickness and that was awful. I went at 6am. Again, if you’re coming from a warm place, I wore 2 to 3 layers of Clothes. If you’re going to be hiking, your body will get warm but others were wearing shorts and t shirts so just know yourself. It was about 12 degrees celcius and windy. Ok now to the service. Our guide was Ervin and he was great, gave us some facts to start off the trail and also spoke English and Spanish. Gave us enough stop points to catch our breath and to take pictures along the way. I would recommend hiking boots because of how loose the soil is but I wore sneakers so it can be done. GET THE STICKS if you’re accident prone. Took about 1hr and 15 mins to and from the city and the hike was about 3hrs give or take includes the breaks. Left at 6:15 and returned at 11:30. Very beautiful, magnificent even. There are tiendas on the descent, hot dogs, pizza, lava rock store and your guide will provide you with marshmallows to roast. Worth the price, it’s safe and a great experience.
