Very nice excursion, beautiful day - If you take this tour, I hope that there is not too much wind at the top of the volcano that day, because if that is the case, as for us, you will not have the opportunity to climb to the top and see the beautiful lake at the very top, which, let us say, is the main reason why tourists buy this tour. The decision does not come from the guide, of course. If you are lucky, you can take the free excursion again to try it again. Unfortunately, this was not our case. However, I am very satisfied with the great guide we had, David, 22 years old and who, despite his young age, had already climbed this volcano more than 300 times! If you have special requests, such as going down to Lake Coatepeque and swimming there, you can ask your guide and who knows, maybe you will have the chance to go, if you are only 2 (and not with a group). Thank you David for your good service and kindness!

Eduardo!! - Incredible tour. Eduardo was so knowledgeable and honestly I don’t think the tour would have been nearly as beneficial with a different guide. Eduardo was by far the highlight of the tour because you could ask him a simple question and he would give you so much detail and history. Beautiful country with beautiful people. 10/10

Great guide, amazing views, and some exercise - If anything like me, you’ll sweat, you’ll huff and puff and your legs will ache but the effort is well worth it. Amazing views of (but really not from, due to cloud cover) Santa Ana’s milky turquoise crater lake and the surrounding multihued slopes. Hike thru jungle and lava plain, fortunately not straight up but zigzagging with lots of flat stretches on which to catch your breath. My guide Adonis was amazing and encouraging and escorted me on the climb of a lifetime. Follows up all the fun with a delicious lunch on a crater rim above another, much larger lake nearby. Highly recommend !

Tour suitable for everyone with a Top Guide - A beautiful and quiet tour, it is not very demanding to climb the volcano, but it is worth it for the beauty of the landscape, as well as that of the lake. Guide was Christian Rendon, who is top. He has a lot of mountaineering experience and a lot of mountain knowledge. Besides, he tells a lot of things about his country, anything you ask him. It is worth taking the tour with Christian, a 10 for him as Guide.

Superb tour experience. - View of the crater at the summit is truly breathtaking. "Raul," our guide was extremely knowledgeable (and not only about the site) and professional. He speaks is spoken so all can hear and understand his excellent commentary. Truly, a great communicator. I found his knowledge of the site and culture in general excellent. Having lunch afterwards at the mercado food court was a great option! Lucky that we got him for the tour!
