Very patient in answering our questions. It would be even better if we can stay longer and still climb to closer to the Fuego when it cleared up a bit...

Miserable time

Liz_J, May 2026

Overall, this was not worth the money. I feel like I paid $250 to be miserable, cold, and bored. And there were rats in the cabins. Seeing the eruptions was really cool, but to me, not worth the rest. And I’m an outdoorsy, hiker, adventurous person who has traveled to over 30 countries. Some of this was due to the incorrect expectations - I thought this would involve riding ATVs because Viator lists it as an ATV tour, and I thought the base camp would be really fun. Instead we were packed into 4x4 trucks and honestly, the base camp was pretty rough. The guides discouraged us from doing the hike to Fuego or the sunrise hike to the summit, telling us it was a 10/10 difficulty. I really regret listening to him. Everyone who did it said it was fine, and I just ended up sitting around base camp with nothing to do for hours. The shelters were A-frame wooden structures with wood platforms and a mat on top to sleep on - 5 people to a cabin. And there were rats in them. There was no campfire or sense of community at the base camp. The guides were not personable or fun. Food was better than expected from reviews I read, but it was not a lot. Breakfast was a piece of bread with jam. As a final straw, I paid 300Q for a porter to carry my backpack because I have a shoulder injury. They carried it up, but in the morning told me I would have to pay another 300Q to carry it down, which was not told to me at the beginning. Overall, I regret doing this trek and would not recommend spending your money on this.

Very poorly planned, no communication, very unclean.

Laura_S, Apr 2026

They stated the tour had English tour guides yet no one spoke any English. Everything was very unclear with very limited communication as to what we were doing and where we were going. this was significantly worsened by the lack of English. No equipment was clean. Jackets were very limited all very thin material They forgot us at the pickup location despite us being there waiting and watching them drive off without us. They insulted us (which we were told by one of the other members of the group who was having to translate everything for us). They didn’t provide enough space in the 4x4 . They didn’t let us do both fuego and the sunrise hike despite telling us before we could and making us pay for it. We had to choose between the 2 despite it being advertised as being able to do both. We told them before my friend suffered from asthma yet none of the tour guides knew or cared. There were rats in our bed. My friend woke up to one on her pillow. Tour guides spent more time flirting with one another than communicating with us. Tour guide was texting on WhatsApp whilst driving.

Unforgettable experience

Ana_z, Apr 2026

I had one of the best experiences of my life with Josue. I hiked Acatenango and then continued on to Fuego, something I will never forget. Josue was incredibly helpful, friendly, and made sure I had everything I needed, from hiking sticks to food and constant support along the way. He truly went above and beyond. He quickly became more than just a guide, he felt like a friend, as did the rest of the group. I loved that it was a smaller group because it made the experience feel more personal, warm, and connected. This was definitely one of the hardest hikes of my life, but Josue never gave up on me. He kept encouraging me every step of the way, which made all the difference. I highly recommend this experience for solo travelers or groups, you really do bond and end up making lifelong travel friends. And honestly, I cannot even begin to describe what it feels like to see the volcano in person. It is something you have to experience for yourself.
