Very well organised - Great experience. The shuttle was there on time, we arrived to the volcano after a short stop for us the coffee-lovers. After the trip to the volcano, we met the guide, Sergio. The guide was very kind, though I think a bit more of explanation about the place would be great. After the hike on the volcano, and marshmallow cooking, we came back to Antigua. They offered to leave us at the Central Park or other places we suggest. It was overall an amazing trip, a bit challenging at the beginning, and rewarding at the end.

A great experience! - I enjoyed this tour very much. Pick up was on time but there was a long stop on the way for coffees etc that I wasn't expecting. Our guides were good, although they had limited English. Unfortunately our view from the highest point was very obscured by clouds on the day I went. Overall I would recommend this, the price is very reasonable.

Great basic hike - This was a great, quick, moderate hike. The staff was attentive and monitored the hikers. I'm old but still was able to do it.

Amazing experience ! - I had a wonderful experience, tour guides were super helpful and allowed for breaks/ participants to go at their own pace. I personally did not find the hike too bad, on a scale of 1-10, 10 being almost impossible and 1 being super easy, i would rate it a 3 to 4. For context, I am 31 years old and i do strength train 4x a week but i do not hike or do much cardio outside of walking. I did not do the hike in hiking boots (just in sneakers) but would suggest it because you do slip and slide a little on the way down. Would advise getting the walking stick and would advise against taking any “short cuts” on the way down because it was steep. All of that being said, it was the highlight of my trip and it was truly beautiful.

Excellent tour - Excellent tour! The view is worth it; not to mention the great cardio workout. I advise don’t bring a heavy bag, we kind of overpacked, and Carlos, one of the tour guides was kind enough to bring it up the rest of the hike up!! 10/10

Great View - This was a great experience and view. However, I don’t like that you have to pay to enter (100 GTQ) then pay for the horse(optional) for 300GTQ. Plus tips to everyone after that.

Great - It was an amazing time. We got picked up at our hotel. Before heading to the volcano, we stopped at a bakery. Upon arrival our tour guide introduced himself. You can purchase sticks to help with hike. They also have horses just in case you don’t want to hike up. It was a great time. Our tour guides was very helpful and informative.
