Top Guatemala Hiking Tours - page 3

Amazing experience. It’s a steep climb, prepare mentally and physically, but not impossible. Our guides Luis and Javier were fantastic. They made sure we made it up in good timing while being mindful of rest. Don’t be afraid to take a break when you need at stops. Try to pack lightly if not you can rent gear or a porter. It gets colder at night but not insane cold, some good layering should do the trick. The meals were just what we needed to have energy but bring extra snacks and electrolytes. Yes you can buy more on the way. Base camp is real camping style nothing fancy don’t expect luxury. I had a great time Luis and Javier made sure everyone was comfortable and fed at night including a campfire. I recommend for adventurist this group just be prepared for a challenging but not the worst 24 hours. The views at night base camp are incredible. I don’t recommend the optional hike to fuego but you can do it if weather is nice and you really feel like it. The summit hike in the morning is cooler but tougher especially that early. All in all great experience just temper expectations.

We had a wonderful hiking tour and really enjoyed the whole experience. Our driver Gustavo arrived about 10 minutes early to pick us up, which was great. He’s very funny and easy to talk to. He speaks Spanish, great English, German, and even a little Japanese. The ride was honestly a lot of fun. Our tour guide Alan was also amazing. He’s very easygoing and informative. During the hike we chatted a lot and had some really great conversations. He was very patient, always checking on us, and encouraged us to take breaks when needed, which we really appreciated. The views were absolutely breathtaking, with lots of great photo spots along the way. We also stopped midway to roast marshmallows over the volcanic heat, which was such a fun and unique experience. We were also lucky to have great weather that day. Overall, it was an amazing experience — honestly a 10/10 for us.

Victor was amazing and super knowledgeable of every step of the coffee growing, harvesting and roasting process. The coffee tasting experience also included the opportunity to harvest and peel the beans for a truely immersive experience. The experts at the chocolate and textile facilities/stores were just as amazing and they really enjoy showing off their crafts to visitors. If you want to experience true Guatemalan agricultural and artisanal methods this tour is a must do!

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

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!

This was a really precious once in lifetime experience in a truly magical place. Miguel was such a great guide he knows this terrain like the back of his hand he truly gave us the inside track. Tikal is an incredible place the temples the forest the wild animals surrounding us I'd do this all over again.

Felix was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable regarding the history, buildings etc in Antigua. He also answered all my questions and gave me information regarding restaurants and other places to visit. His english is great. Highly recommend! Thanks for a wonderful tour.

Our guide Alex was amazing!!! We had limited time in Atitlan and this was a good way to see/learn a lot in a short amount of time. You have the option to do ~1.5 hours of kayaking followed by ~1.5 hours of hiking, or you can add in a boat ride to visit some other villages in the area. Alex was good friends with the locals so we got a great look at the culture, art, and food! Alex was super helpful the entire time and was lots of fun!! He was so incredibly nice and definitely our favorite guide of our trip. I recommend you wear hiking shoes because the hike is a real hike, and they’ll bring you your shoes after kayaking so you don’t have to worry about getting them wet. There’s also an opportunity to change out of your wet clothes after the kayaking part. Bring cash with you too to pay for the boat transfers if you add in any village visits!
