What are people saying about Guatemala

AnnKathrin_S, Aug 2026

As a solo female traveler...

As a solo female traveler and regularly hiker, I can wholeheartedly recommend the hike with Experience GT. The organization was excellent, the accommodations were good (no tents, plenty of blankets), and the food was delicious—but our two guides, Vidalia and Jairo, were absolutely unbeatable. They looked after everyone in our —fortunately small— group (7 people) and turned this adventure and the incredible natural spectacle of Fuego into a truly unique experience! Thank you so much ❤️ If you have time to prepare: - do 60 squats a day for two months - start acclimatizing early once you arrive (or consider taking acetazolamide, starting the day before — provided there are no contraindications - bring a total of 4 liters of water (especially for the altitude) - try to pack light while still bringing enough changes of clothes: long underwear (merino, if you have it) - Rain poncho a/o rain jacket/ trousers - Know your limits — the climb to the summit is no walk in the park and can be very windy (and sometimes foggy) during the rainy season. But if you do it, enjoy every second!

Great driver!

Our driver Edgar was great! We felt comfortable the whole way to Antigua. He was very helpful helping us arrange our trip back to the airport.. he got us with good time regardless of the traffic situation.. I would definitely recommend to book with Edgar within this company…

Carve your own jade piece in Antigua!

Johansei_H, Aug 2026

August 2026

Carve Your Own Jade was such a great experience! The staff was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful, and you could tell they genuinely wanted everyone’s pieces to come out as beautiful as possible. Definitely be prepared to work and get hands-on because you really are involved in creating your own piece from start to finish! But don’t be intimidated. The staff supports and guides you every step of the way, while still allowing you to feel like you truly made something yourself. Such a unique experience and an even better souvenir to take home from Guatemala. Highly recommend!

Antigua ATV Sunset Tour

Adrian_L, Aug 2026

Book the tour!

This was such an excellent experience that I wasn’t expecting. Gio, our guide, made sure we were all comfortable with our ATVs—I wasn’t. But he didn’t make a big deal about it or seem frustrated and served as my driver. He made the experience memorable for us all and was a great paparazzo! I would have never been able to capture photos so well. Having a small group of kind participants made the day even more enjoyable. Gio did a wonderful job of giving us plenty of time at Hobbitenango, but not too much so we were bored. He stuck to schedule, which is appreciated when traveling and tour/events are booked in advanced. I also liked how all off the gunners were included In our entrance to Everything. I would recommend Gio’s ATV ride to anyone!

Lake Atitlan One Day Tour from Antigua

Fahad_K, Aug 2026

Very well coordinated...

Very well coordinated experience. Pickup and drop off in Antigua was easy and well communicated. We went to a few different villages and did a bunch of activities. I also decided to stay overnight in San Juan and come to Antigua the following day and they were very accommodating and allowed me to return the following day with the other group at no extra charge.

Multiple perfect experiences

We had multiple car rides all over Guatemala and our Driver was Joshua. He was courteous and kind, and I felt comfortable with him. My entire family enjoyed having him as the driver for our vacation. I would definitely book with them again. Zero issues and they were always on time.

Authentic Guatemalan Cooking Class in Antigua

Stevanna_D, Aug 2026

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.

Acatenango Overnight Hike Multiday Tour

Brooke_Z, Jul 2026

Great time with CA!

Toni and team were great! The trip was affordable, fun, and each detail was carefully planned. Read the packet before you go and you’ll know almost all of the information. Everyone was helpful and answered any additional questions! Plenty of hotels near their headquarters in Antigua, and about half a block away is a safe/and secure parking spot for 13 USD per day.

Pacaya Volcano ATV Adventure

Amy_W, Jul 2026

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.

Private Shuttle in Guatemala

Christiane_R, Mar 2026

Guatemala City to Antigua

Our driver Rolando was great. Our flight was delayed multiple times and the company was very accommodating to let us know it was no problem and someone would pick us up whenever we arrived. Rolando got us through the rush hour traffic in Guatemala City and to Antigua all in one piece and made sure we got into our accommodation before he left us. Would recommend Rolando and this company for your transfer needs in Guatemala

Acatenango Volcano Overnight Tour

Jonathan_K, Dec 2025

Challenging but Unforgettable Acatenango Experience

I did the overnight Acatenango hike with Ox Expeditions and was really impressed with how well organised everything was. The welcome briefing the night before is absolutely essential—it gives you a clear idea of what to expect and how demanding the hike truly is. One thing I really appreciated was that they offer lots of warm clothing to hire for free, which meant I didn’t have to pack bulky layers in my own bag. I would strongly recommend hiring a porter for the ascent (for an additional charge). The hike is steep, long and genuinely difficult, and having someone carry your main bag makes a huge difference. Be prepared for very cold temperatures at base camp. Food is provided and perfectly fine for the conditions, but the campsite itself is very basic. It’s also worth knowing that you’re not guaranteed dramatic views or a clear sight of Fuego erupting—weather and cloud cover can change quickly. Even so, the experience is absolutely worth it. Reaching the top and spending the night on the volcano is something I’ll never forget.
