Unforgettable experience - The guides Alexander and Jorge are very kind, attentive and Professionals. The service delivered by them is good, highly recommended!!! An unforgettable experience

An experience of a lifetime! - The tour was awesome. We went with Soy Tours. They arranged everything that. we needed for the tour. The cabins were comfortable, but cold as you expct in the wilderness. The tour guides were awesome and very helpful. We were a bit slow to hike, but they adjusted the spped and accommodated our pace. Most of all, the lava flow views were unmatchable. Once in a lifetime experience. The topilets were clean as far as you can accommodate in the wilderness. Overall wonderful experience with the guides and tour company. Will definitely recommend Soy Tours for this.

As a non hiker usually I... - As a non hiker usually I was a little apprehensive after hearing this was one of the more challenging hikes. It was! We had Jose as our guide who was extremely helpful, patient and friendly. He looked after the group ensuring we were all together and arrange for porters to carry the luggage for those who were really struggling. The morning climb to see the sunrise was tough where the altitude hits you but sooo worth it once you get to the top! Would recommend this tour.

Worthwhile. - Since this was my first time hiking alone I was very skeptical. Being so I emailed them about my concerns and within hours they kindly respond to every question I asked. With great detail from what you should bring with you, where they pick you up how the hike is and so fourth. I was very pleased. The hike itself is grueling but very worth it if you have the heart. I recommend you do all that is available and really take it all in bc the next thing you know you're back home on your computer writing a review about your experience.

Great experience! - Rogelio was my guide, a great person by the way, very helpful all the time, such a nice and patient guy. The driver from Antigua was very nice as well, sorry I don’t remember his name but he was with his 8 year old son, maybe you’ll be able to know his name. A special thanks to Rogelio!

An great time - The trip was overall amazing I honestly don’t have any complaints. I found the guides were very kind and caring and always watched out for people, making sure that no one was left behind. The hike is very difficult but the guides were very attentive to our needs and made regular stops to let us catch our breath. They were also very encouraging which helped since it was often quiet hard. The food was good but I would recommend packing yourself some extra fresh fruits and snacks. I didn’t train or go to the gym before the trip but was still able to hike fuego and summit acatenango so really don’t be afraid to do it. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend booking with this company!!

Grueling Yet Unforgettable - I chose this activity for my birthday celebration and I had a blast! Before the hike, GuatExperience Tours staff was helpful in answering my questions. At the Antigua office, they provide headlamps and trekking poles for rental. There is a bathroom for use here before the hour-long drive to the company’s second office near the trailhead. At the second office, there is a bathroom, but you have to pay to use it. Here they provide hats, gloves, sweatshirts, and coats at no cost. You will need them for the top where the wind is relentlessly cold. I recommend leaving extra room in your backpack for an oversized, bulky sweatshirt. Also, ensure that you have brought at least 4 liters of water and extra quetzales to buy more water, electrolytes, and snacks (as needed) at a few of the rest spots. Some of them have bathrooms, but you will need your own toilet paper. The provided lunch was a hearty sandwich. The hike itself is no joke for those that are not used to that elevation. Fortunately, our trail guide Osbin was patient and straightforward about the time we needed to make it to base camp in order to hike El Fuego in the evening. Prepare for at least four hours of constant uphill hiking before getting to your base camp. It is rustic and provides ample bedding. Don’t forget a pillow though! The second hike to El Fuego is a must! Also uphill though slowly paced due to the sheer number of hikers on the trail. The sunset view is incredible and once the volcano starts erupting (quite often), it’s hard to look away. Once we got back down, Osbin prepared a fire and a vegetable sauce to go with the noodles for dinner. The next day, you have the option of waking up at 3:30am to do a third hike to see the sunrise. Afterwards, a banana bread breakfast was provided and we left at base camp around 7:45am. Going down the mountain can be quite slippery at some spots. Osbin ensured that we all stayed together so no one was left behind. Overall, I highly recommend this activity and Osbin as the tour guide.

Tourist trap, so many people - I hiked Fuego and Acatenango with my friend with Brothers expeditions. Go on a week day, it’s crowded on the weekend. There was no running water at our cabin which isn’t a big deal.It’s hit and miss as to whether or not you’ll see the volcano while it’s active. The views were great (when there wasn’t people in the way). Also make sure you are properly prepared with a couple jackets, headlamp and water. I had to rent a headlamp for the price of a new one.

Good company difficult hike great experience - this is run through brothers expedition. Overall it was a good experience. The hike itself is extremely challenging physically and so i would be prepared for that. We had 4 guides for a 20 person group which was good. On the way up they were very helpful and great. On the way down they were not as present but the group did get spread out a lot more. It is optional to do the volcan de fuego part as well as the morning hike and a guide stays at base camp with those that dont want to go. The food is basic and i would highly recommend bringing lots of snacks with. The biggest issue was language barrier. None of the guide spoke english so it was a little hard communicating but as a group with some strong/native Spanish speakers i was able to get by.

The tour was well... - The tour was well organized and the camp was just fine (low standard), we had cacao, coffee and pasta in the evening. The Organisation was not Guat Experience as we expected, it was the Brother‘s Expedition. We had a good communication beforehand via the app viator. They told us what to bring (i.e. sweets, toilet paper, water) and what is included (i.e. warm jackets, hat, gloves, a backpack could be rent for 7$). We booked an english guide but he only spoke spanish. He was pretty kind and funny but he didn‘t give any further information or facts about the volcano.
