Fantastic Journey. - This was a fantastic journey! My guide Nery was amazing at explaining the history of the local villages during each stop. As an experienced scooter rider I especially enjoyed riding the Vespa. I highly recommend.

Magical Experience - Just finished with the Vespa Tour and words do not do this experience justice. Our guide was one of a kind! He was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and took his time answering all our questions. He took so many amazing pictures of us to help document our trip. Getting to explore the villages around Antigua is an absolute must and I wouldn't choose any other company to do it with. Not once did we ever feel unsafe or pushed to do anything we didn't want to do. We will definitely be back for more adventures with them!

Great tour of an amazing place! - As we were researching which tours to books, we came across Antigua rides through a youtube video. I looked at their website and saw that they had the vespa tour, but we didn't know how to ride motorcycles, so I ended up messaging them and they were able to accommodate us with the 4x4, doing the same tour (Vespa Macadamia, Wine and Chocolate). We were able to get their contact info and received instructions on when to show up, where to show up, and how to pay. Our tour guide Javier was very helpful and informative. We were the only ones during this tour, so Javier was very attentive. He showed us how to operate the UTV, just like a car. We never felt unsafe driving around Antigua and the surrounding towns. Javier stopped along the tour to show us where to take pictures, told us about the volcanos, and even became our chocolate factory guide (since they didn't speak English and the English-speaking guide was not there). He never pressured us into buying anything at the macadamia farm, the chocolate factory, or anywhere else. He answered all our questions with a smile. Javier went above and beyond when we were asking for tips around Antigua. We needed a ride back to Guatemala City the next day and Javier was able to schedule one for us. If I can give him more stars, I would. Javier is an excellent tour guide. You'll be lucky to have him as your tour guide. Our tips are: * try some macadamia nuts at the farm. * If you have more time in Antigua, book a massage at Valhalla Macadamia Farm. * buy more chocolate at the factory (because everywhere else was more expensive) * wear hiking shoes (or shoes you don't mind getting dirty) for this tour * take lots of pictures

Get to know some of the roads less traveled - There are few options with this company, I can talk a bit about my experience with them doing the 4x4 scenic tour (something like that "miradores 4X4") the tour was fun, being able to drive the 4x4 cars was an awesome experience for me, I'm an adrenaline junkie and was nice, since the tour is relatively new the attention to everyone was superb, they explained along the way how to use the cars properly during different terrain areas which was good for me since it was the first time using the cars and visiting some new trails for me... The tour was relax, then fun, then exciting, then really nice views. There was a little break to go to the bathroom; total time of the tour was about 2 hours... Tips: bring a buff or a bandana because it gets really dusty (was super fun tho) sunglasses are definitely recommended and if a rainy day it just gets better I can imagine. For direct contact follow them on facebook. This company also has its Vespa tour around the outskirts of Antigua, seems like they add the possibility to realize special activities along the ride… I must say that the company is very flexible with their tours so its easy to organize different things, they are open to suggestions or they adapt to your needs. You can rent Golf carts, vespas, cuads, and the 4x4 polaris cars.

Cost to value ratio… - Not even close to being worth $80. I’m not saying at all that the guide or any of the employees aren’t super nice, because they absolutely were. I’m saying the cost to benefit ratio is low. The only thing they show is a few old churches. The volcanos can be seen from literally any location. I should have went with my gut and rented a motorbike and rode around on my own.
