“This is an extremely challenging hike that basically vertical the whole 2 miles up. Even for folks that are fit this is a brutal hike. There are folks at the bottom of the hike that will follow you with horses because they know how hard the hike is and that you will eventually break down to pay the $50 cash per person to ride one. Once you get to the top the view is incredible. Walking through the volcanic ash is stunning. But before booking this tour you really should be aware of how hard rather hike is and be prepared to fork over $50 per person and get the…”

“Luis, our guide did a great job showing us the history of Antigua, But the good news ends there. The trip from the pier to Antigua was a disaster. The vehicle supplied by the tour operator was deceptively advertised as having a capacity of eight persons and being wheelchair accessible, but it was anything but. Our friend who was recovering from hip surgery was unable to even enter the vehicle until Luis and the driver scrambled to find a plastic stool. Worse yet, the van was so undersized that the three 6 foot tall male passengers had to turn their knees sideways to fit into their seats for the entire…”

Hike Pacaya Volcano from Puerto Quetzal with private transfers, expert guides, lava fields, hot vents, and optional horseback riding.
“Once we got on shore, met our driver and headed to the volcano. As nothing is close to the port, it takes 1.5 hours to drive each way but traffic can extend this. Once at the national park, we met Claudio to guide us on the hike. This is clearly a strenuous activity, so judge your fitness level appropriately. There are horses to help, at an additional cost. The climb did get steeper as you went higher, but nothing that made it unsafe. Great views along the way plus getting to the summit is wonderful. You can easily see the differences in lava flow from different years. After getting to…”

“Santiago was great on our private tour, as the drive to Antigua is long especially with the bad conditions of the highway and the rain. But he gave us lots of information and history of Guatemala and altered the tour to work with the small time we had in the town. We still had a traditional Guatemalan lunch where we bought 6 of their traditional clay bowls to take home, saw the main architecture, got to buy some coffee beans and shopped for souvenirs. And even with the bad traffic we got back with 20 min to spare before all aboard time, where 4 of the 7 big tour buses…”
Tour Guatemala from Puerto Quetzal with wine, rum, a Mayan village, Antigua, volcano views, and a private English-speaking guide.
“This was exactly the tour we were seeking. As a group of old college friends traveling to Guatemala we wanted to experience as much variety as possible. Nelson, our guide did a wonderful job exposing us to several different aspects of his country. The vineyards and chalet of the winery are definitely worth seeing. The Mayan village and Antigua are a must. Nelson did an expert job explaining and covering cultural facts and distinctions. The rum distillery was good, I've been to so many distilleries I just am a little over the tours, but the tour and tasting was good by comparisons to others. Throughout the entire tour Nelson was…”
