All Guatemala City Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 4

Our group of six was visiting Guatemala for the first time, and they made our arrival to Antigua absolutely seamless! They were early, greeted us with a sign, communicated throughout the process, and were incredibly kind and professional. They even stopped for us to try local beers and patiently waited over an hour while we shopped. Because the experience was so great, our group decided to use them for the rest of our trip. They’ve continued to be extremely responsive, reliable, and accommodating, even offering us a group discount and waiting for us during our round-trip trip to Lake Atitlán. If safety, reliability, and great service are your priorities, don’t hesitate to book them! They truly go above and beyond.

This was one of the highlights of my trip to Guatemala. Pacaya Volcano offers a unique opportunity to hike across relatively recent lava fields while enjoying spectacular views of the surrounding volcanoes and countryside. The hike was more physically demanding than I expected, especially under the midday sun. I made the mistake of forgetting my sunscreen, hat, and even my acetazolamide, so I underestimated how challenging the ascent would feel. Although I consider myself to be in good shape, I ultimately decided to take one of the horses for the climb up—and I’m glad I did. The horse handlers were experienced, and it allowed me to conserve energy to fully enjoy the volcano itself. I was determined to hike the entire descent on foot, which turned out to be a rewarding experience. Walking down the volcanic ash and lava rock was challenging but a lot of fun, and my fitness tracker certainly agreed! One of the most memorable parts of the tour was enjoying a freshly made vegetable pizza cooked using the volcano’s natural geothermal heat. It may sound like a gimmick, but it was surprisingly delicious and an experience I won’t forget. Our guide was excellent—friendly, informative, and always focused on everyone’s safety. Transportation was comfortable, and the entire day was well organized. My advice for future visitors: wear sturdy shoes, bring plenty of water, don’t forget sunscreen and a hat, and don’t hesitate to use a horse if you feel you need one. There’s absolutely no shame in it, and it lets you focus on enjoying an incredible natural wonder. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Guatemala. It’s an adventure that’s both challenging and incredibly rewarding.

Our driver Marlon picked us up from the airport and expertly navigated the traffic on the way to Pana. The van was comfortable, Marlon spoke great English, and he stopped at a restaurant along the way so we could have a delicious lunch. Would definitely book again!
