Another great transport from Joshua!
Joshua came to transport my brother, my wife, and I to the airport from our Airbnb in Antigua. Just like the previous transport that Joshua provided for my other family members, he arrived early and let us know he was outside via WhatsApp. This worked perfectly because we were ready early, and were able to depart to the airport a bit earlier than our scheduled time. Joshua was very nice and we had some good conversation along the way. We got to the airport with plenty of time to catch our flights. Thank you!

Started off pretty bad and ending great!
We booked and we had absolutely no communication before arrival. When we showed up the staff didn't know we had booked at all but quickly got us on our way up the mountain. They had all the supplies you'd need and additional supplies you could rent. We felt concerned at the start but our local guide Jaido (not sure how to spell it but he pronouced it as Hi-do) was amazing (He is pictured below in the middle)! He spoke Spanish and some English and let us move up and down the volcano at our own pace. We literally ran up the to the camps on Acentenago. After 2 hours of resting we struggled our way up and down Fuego and I will say, it was an amazing trip. Unfortunately, Fuego was a little shy when we got closer but we tried to be friendly. It erupted when we left and was back at base camp so maybe its a little performance shy. We stayed up at base camp overnight and came back down the next day. Even though they failed at communication their expertise showed through when they were able to put the tour on full speed at the last minute. They said there was a communication error with Viator and their system which didn't make much sense to me but I know stuff happens. I'd recommend them because our trip was amazing and they put it together at a moments notice. Give them some prep time and it should go even better.

Best Pacaya Tour - HIGHLY recommend ✨
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Guatemala! Everyone involved was knowledgeable, attentive, and had great energy.
The driver picked me up in Antigua and shared fun stories and history on the way to Pacaya. There we met our incredible guide, Danny, who introduced us to our horses and walked up the volcano alongside us, answering questions in Spanish and English. As a local, he had a wealth of knowledge about Pacaya, its history, and life there. Shoutout Danny, he's the best! The views of the volcano among the clouds at the top were insane!! I was surprised to find the charming "lava shop," selling souvenirs made from volcanic matter and I was psyched to see the infamous volcano pizza in action, cooked with the volcano's heat. It was actually really good (coming from a NY pizza snob) and we roasted marshmallows for dessert.
After taking in the views, we rode our horses back down and were back in Antigua mid-afternoon.
All said, it was a magical day I will never forget!

Polite and efficient driver
Our driver was very polite and efficient. He seemed to take some shortcuts to help us out of traffic as well which was nice, because there was a lot of traffic and a few vehicle accidents. It was also at nighttime and a 3.5 hour drive from airport to Antigua.

We had such a great...
We had such a great experience with our shuttle driver, Dereck! He was incredibly friendly, professional, and welcoming from the moment he picked us up. Dereck made the entire ride comfortable and enjoyable, and we felt completely safe throughout the trip.
He was very attentive, helpful with our luggage, and easy to talk to, which made the drive go by quickly. You can tell he genuinely cares about providing a great experience for his passengers.
We couldn’t have asked for a better driver and would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing transportation in Guatemala. Thank you for making our trip even more enjoyable! 10/10 experience!

A must do to experience a taste of Guatemala City
Byron was a fantastic guide. Contacted us even before the tour to establish details. He pick us up on time and we had a very safe and informative tour of the city. The posted itinerary is what we followed but all along the way Byron was open to questions or stops to try things. This is a must do for anyone wanting a taste of Guatemala City

Incredible experience but keep illness in mind
I really enjoyed the tour company I thought they were professional and friendly from start to finish I like the touch of providing smoothies for us on return. Lots of our gear was included I only payed extra for hiking pools at the base of the mountain but I felt they went above and beyond to make our experience special they had marshmallows and hot chocolate at base camp and a common area cabin that was really nice. The cabins held 2 to 4 people and were very comfortable I didn’t feel cold when sleeping only at fuego and they really monitored out weather to make fuego happened. That being said every person on our tour did get sick within 24-48 hours with a gastrointestinal illness I suspect ecoli it could have been from the chicken in the lunch or water truly anything and as unfortunate as this is I truly feel it was a one off and i would still recommend this company just be mindful if you feel unwell in the following days to go to a pharmacy

Must do
Such a fun and light experience we had so much fun and learnt a lot about chocolate and its history while getting to make some ourselves goofed around a bit. there is a beautiful hand made jewellery store in the same building that we explored while waiting I would absolutely recommend this experience thank you josaline

This was such a fun and...
This was such a fun and unique experience in Antigua! We really enjoyed getting to take part in the entire process of creating our own piece of jade jewelry, rather than simply watching someone else make it.
The experience started with being able to choose our own piece of jade, which made it feel personal right from the beginning. From there, we picked the design we wanted and then actually worked on shaping and creating the piece ourselves. It was really interesting to see how a rough piece of jade slowly transformed into something beautiful that we could take home with us.
The instructors were wonderful. They were friendly, patient, and very helpful throughout the entire process. They gave us plenty of opportunity to do the work ourselves while stepping in when needed to make sure our pieces turned out well. They also helped with the finishing touches so that what we made looked polished and professionally finished.
I especially liked that you leave with a souvenir that has much more meaning than something you simply purchase in a store—you actually selected the jade and helped create the finished piece yourself.
This was a great hands-on activity and something a little different from the typical sightseeing tours. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Antigua who wants a fun, creative, and memorable experience.

Great experience; with things to know!
John was a fantastic tour guide for our ATV sunset ride! We started around 2:15 PM, and he was thorough, friendly, and guided us in English. The whole experience felt well-paced, with enough time at each stop to explore and enjoy everything without feeling rushed and not feeling like we’re spending too much time at places.
A few things worth knowing beforehand: You are required to wear a helmet. You’ll be riding the ATVs on regular roads alongside other cars, so this isn’t an off-road or mountain ATV experience. At Hobbitenango, the final stop, the departure time you agree to is set because the vehicles operate on a schedule. If you decide you want to leave earlier, they may not be able to accommodate that, so plan accordingly.
There was also one very short stretch where we got some dust in our faces for a few seconds, so that’s something to keep in mind if you’re particularly sensitive to dust or have any related concerns.
Overall, it was such a fun experience and surprisingly not stressful at all. John made everything easy and enjoyable from start to finish. 10/10 would absolutely do it again!

10/10 Recommend!
This experience was definitely one of the highlights of my trip and probably the best meal I had. Dario and Victor were fantastic, personable and so knowledgeable. I ended up having a solo class because others dropped out last minute but I highly recommend! Thank you Dario and Victor! And a special shoutout to my driver Ronny for getting me to and from the class safely.

Unique experience and well organized
We loved experiencing the volcano. In particular, the lava field was fascinating. It felt like a uniquely Guatemalan experience, which is what we were looking for. The tour was really well organized, including excellent communication days before the outing and during our tour. We had 3 guides that were spread out amongst our group to assist with navigation and safety.
Tips:
- There is about a 1.5 hour drive through the mountains in a shuttle before and after the ATV part, so come prepared if you are prone to motion sickness.
- Wear hiking boots. We did ok in sneakers, but hiking boots would have made for an easier experience.
- For novice ATV drivers… the instructor provided good operating instructions and also provided advice on navigating some more challenging parts of the trail throughout the trek. It is the rainy season, so we could see where some parts of the trail were washed out, etc. If you’re uncomfortable, they do provide an option to back out of driving before leaving. Also, the ATVs can accommodate 2 people if you want to designate a driver and a rider.

Antigua, Guatemala, tours run the gamut. To get your adrenaline pumping, opt for an overnight sunrise summit hike of the Acatenango Volcano to safely view the adjacent—and still highly active—Volcán de Fuego. Not an early riser? Buckle your helmet strap and explore the countryside and its mountain villages via ATV sunset tour. For something more laid-back, take a day tour of Lake Atitlán, join a cooking class and market tour, or learn about the locally-produced chocolate and coffee. Whether adventure-driven or culture-centric, each Antigua tour will give you something to talk about.
