Enjoyable volcano hike - Really enjoyed our Pacaya hike, very doable hike to stretch our legs after we arrived in Guatemala. Because it is private, the guides let you go at your own pace. Many beautiful lookouts and a surprise pizza place at top where you can order a custom pizza to be cooked in a volcanic vent! And we got to roast marshmellows as well. Not too strenuous (unlike Acatenango, which we did the next day).

Awesome experience - We went to Pacaya Volcano home, it was awesome, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We did all the hike and he took us to the best view points so we had a chance to have great photos. The hike is nice not to advanced, it is quite windy in some parts but you can't beat the view.

Nice volcano hike - Beautiful day and a nice hike. Daniel was very patient letting us go at our own pace, and pointing out sites and plants along the way. Pickup was on time and the ride comfortable.

Amazing - Placaya volcano - Daniel was amazing , very helpful and gave us all the time we need while climbing 😃. The experience of climbing to the base of placaya volcano is surely an experience not to miss.

Pacaya!! Don’t Miss It - An amazing hike with Daniel. He arrived before our departure time, gave us lots of information along the way, and hiked at our pace. Seeing Pacaya up close was amazing…don’t miss it.

Beautiful Pacaya Hike but Disappointed by Overcharges - The hike and views at Volcano Pacaya were fantastic, and the overall experience was memorable. However, like many other reviewers, I felt the tour price lacked value for money. After paying $100 per person, I expected basics like tickets and water to be included, especially since other agencies offer similar tours at lower prices. What made it worse was discovering that another group on the same tour paid only $80 per person for identical service and itinerary. Tourists should carefully compare the fine print of different options to avoid overcharges. The experience was great, but the pricing left a sour note.

Beautiful but unnecessarily expensive. - For 100, I expected more to be included in the tour. There are other tours on Trip Advisor for 35 dollars or lower in Antigua that are the exact same experience.
