Such an Awesome Experience!! - This was a great tour! Cesar was awesome - great English & a really fun tour guide! We climbed the volcano with horses, ate pizza on the volcano from the “Pizza Man”, & then drank some fresh brewed coffee from the “Coffee Queen” when we got back down! Great tour! Thanks Cesar!

Great morning hike! - David was great. He was prepared for everything and was very knowledgeable about Pacaya and the surrounding area. It was a great morning activity and the hike made the pizza extra delicious.

Hiking - My husband and I did the private tour with David. We had so much fun. This is perfect for people that want to do a hike that is not too difficult. It's not easy but it's not super hard.

A fantastic experience - I went on a solo adventure to Pacaya in November 2024. Roundtrip transportation from my Airbnb in Guatemala City was included. We left promptly in the AM and enjoined a smooth ride to Pacaya where I met Walter, the perfect guide.
Because I read other reviews, I figured adding on a horse to get to the top was the best route. I’m glad I did. You can still enjoy the views without testing your endurance at a high altitude.
Throughout, Walter was kind and joyful, often recommending the best spots of photographs, sharing history, and making conversation. He made sure I was comfortable and safe every step of the way, which is extra important to me as a solo traveler.
The pizza at be top was delicious and there is a cute jewelry store where you can buy items and trinkets made with lava.
Truly a 10/10 experience, and one of my favorite travel adventures to date.
Special shootout to Walter, Guapo (the horse), and Marisol for making my day extra fun!

Guat2do Travel Experiences - First off, this was an amazing adventure I read the description and saw a few photos before booking the activity. Well done this was very organized, the views were breathtaking and s/o to tour guide Mynor. He was very professional, knowledgeable about the landscape and provided insight through out time together about the culture. I really recommend if he is available to request him you won’t be disappointed.
The elevation on the hike up the mountain was intense after awhile so he recommended taking a taxi (horse) which proved to be beneficial for parts of the steepest but once you make it to your destination overlooking the city with the beautiful clouds in the background.
Also have S/o Guat2do they were helpful keeping me up to date on timely changes with the weather and pickup/drop off. There was not anytime that I felt unsafe and the staff all did not great job pointing out some of the things unique to the city.
I wasn’t about to check out the cooked pizza on the volcano due to the rain but it wasn’t so bad bc the steamed marshmallows. I was even given a partial refund due to the weather thank you for honoring that agreement.
I am looking forward to my next visit to watch the lava flow at night and I’ll likely book again with Guat2do Travel.

Different and Worthwhile - Driver was phenomenal even in crazy traffic. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable as well. We rode horses up a volcano and hiked a bit. Once we got to the top, it was certainly a bucket list experience. Having pizza from a lava rock is cool

Great people + the best pizza - The conductor of the shuttle, Mario, was so sweet and efficient in getting us through the Guatemala City traffic to the base of the volcano. Our guide was informative and patient with our pace. I got to ride on a horse named “Muñeco” up the volcano which was so much fun! The Pacaya Pizza made by David was probably the best pizza I’ve ever had. 10/10 experience.

Super great day! - David was an awesome host and guide. The hike was very doable and the pizza lunch at the top was terrific. David made sure we paused at key stops along the way for the perfect photos. The local company reached out the night before to adjust our start time earlier based on weather and expected views—and they were dead on. We had incredible views of other volcanoes on the way up that were clouded out by the time we headed down. I would do this excursion again the next time I’m in Guatemala.

Such a fun experience - Mynor was our tour up the volcano! He was the best! Super friendly and informative. He gave us suggestions and choices of how we want to go about the journey to the volcano. Gave us plenty of time to rest and gather ourselves thru out. Highly recommend him! 10/10
Miguel was our driver, he was also friendly and knowledgeable.

Enjoyable time - The sky was clear and view was amazing. The tour guide David was knowledgeable and prioritized safety. The pizza was top tier, overall great experience.
The pizza location recently changed, thus we hiked up a less crowded area.
