Amazing and unique experience with a passionate and local coffee farmer!
Manuel was so friendly, informative, energetic, and passionate about growing and producing coffee. He and his wife welcomed us into their home with open arms and were eager to answer our many questions. This was a fantastic experience that we will always remember! Luis was a wonderful translator and was a great resource for clarity on the nuances of the whole process.

Great Ride!
Saul through GT Negocios y Viajes was an excellent driver. We were traveling at heavy traffic time to Antigua from La Aurora airport. He got us there safely and without frustration. The vehicle was clean and perfect temperature. Highly recommend them and booking through Viator was super easy and convenient.

Once-In-A-Lifetime Experience!!
What a fantastic experience! I would highly recommend booking the Acatenango hike with Experience GT. Clear communication before, during and after the experience. Our guides were Roberto, Jessica, and Daniel. Depending on the varying hiking speeds of the members of the group, the group naturally falls into separate hiking paces, and I ended up spending the most time hiking with Roberto. He had us LAUGHING nonstop on this hike. The guides are very social, friendly, and helpful. A couple of tips:
- Even if you are in great hiking shape, hiring a porter on the way up makes a huge difference. Well worth the money spent, and you get to truly enjoy the hike.
- (For seasoned hikers) the Acatenango hike is medium difficulty, not that bad at all, but the elevation can make it more difficult for some. The optional Fuego hike is incredible, but this is notably harder than the Acatenango hike. You go steep downhill on ash terrain, so you’ll want to bring your own or rent hiking poles for this hike. Then you ascend Fuego on the same terrain, with multiple other groups going up and down the same narrow path.
- When we reached Fuego, everyone we encountered that was coming down didn’t see anything, as the volcano was dormant. We reached the viewing point and waited as Roberto did his fire dance (ask him about this!!!!) - the volcano started up with multiple eruptions after that!
- If you don’t feel up for the more difficult Fuego hike, don’t sweat it - GREAT views of the eruptions at base camp as well!
- Overall great experience with a great group of hikers and guides. Would definitely recommend, 10/10 !

Fun and tasting
This was such a fun and educational experience! I absolutely loved how our guide walked us through each step of the chocolate making process. It was so interesting getting to see how chocolate is made from start to finish, and even better that we got to taste the different phases along the way!
I also loved how interactive the experience was. Our little dances and chants had us laughing, smiling, and fully enjoying the moment. It made the experience feel so much more personal and memorable.
But most importantly, I LOVED getting to craft my OWN chocolate bar! There was something so special about being able to make it myself and take part in the entire process.
Overall, this was such a unique experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something fun, interactive, and educational!
Thank you for singing me happy birthday and bringing out a delicious sweet treat afterwards! It felt so special!

Roberto was absolutely excellent! He was friendly, professional, patient, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. I truly appreciated his kindness and the effort he put into making the experience memorable. I would definitely recommend Roberto to anyone looking for a great experience. Thank you so much, Roberto! ❤️

Great private transportation option in Antigua/Airport etc.
Great to deal with. Marlon the actual driver assigned was the nicest person. Safe and good driver. Clean and comfortable vehicle. We used them for lake attitlan also. Honestly I would recommend without hesitation and if you can get Marlon as your driver - even better. If you are looking for reliable, efficient and friendly transportation in Guatemala/Antigua City. This is your best option.

Best tour ever!
Absolutely loved this trip! Our guide Fernando was incredibly knowledgeable and you can see how passionate he is about his culture and Mayan history. The rain is my own complaint but I came prepared and still had a great time. A lotttt of walking but it was 100% worth it!

Perfect start to Antigua
Carlos was so wonderful! He was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to answer questions, personalize the tour and get great photos. We felt he genuinely was excited to share Antigua with us. This was a perfect taste for our first day and highly recommend booking this tour!

Perfect ride
This was one of the best experience we've had in Antigua. Our Guide Ethan and Daniel were very attentive and professional. They do explained some of the places, and the places we went to were really nice, places that we would have missed since it's in the surrounding city of Antigua. Definitely a must try, fun and adventurous.

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

Fantastic Antigua tour
We had the walking tour with Felix and it was fantastic. We learned so much about Antigua, not just the buildings but also its history and people. Finally he was so kind to drive us to a restaurant outside of the city after the tour - he didn’t have to do that but we really appreciated it. Book the tour with him!

Perfect Sunrise Hiking experience
Was picked up at hotel in Panajachel it was definitely an early pickup of 330am driver said 90-minute drive to start of hike, but we got there after about 70 minutes we slept on the way which helped pass time along. It was certainly a challenging 30-minute hike towards the end to get to the top with the switchbacks, but guide was very patient and waiting on me because I was the slowest. Bring your own water they do not provide water. Once at the top guide found us our own spot for our small group and brought us hot chocolate because it was very cold that early in the morning and also offered us cinnamon like bread. Definitely bring layers and hat and gloves with wind and chilly early morning temps. Sunrise was gorgeous to watch we got plenty of time to take a ton of pictures before we started hike back down. On way back we had a different vehicle was a more comfortable van where we could recline seats and sleep on way back. We were brought back to hotel by about 845am which gave us rest of day to explore more of Lake Atitlan. Would highly recommend company! :)
