My husband and I went on a 2 day private tour to lake Atitlan and had a wonderful experience. Vini was a great guide--enthusiastic, flexible, responsive to last minute requests, well prepared, and well organized. We biked the first day--an easy ride mostly downhill with a deluxe picnic lunch prepared by Vini and the driver, spent the night at a hotel on the shores of the lake (beautiful, great food) then paddled and hiked the next day.

We really enjoyed our ride around Antigua valley and Ciudad Vieja. From other reviews, it sounds like this route may vary by tour. It was advertised as Beginner, and I would say that was accurate. Our route was mostly flat or downhill with one difficult climb (which we walked most of the way up). We stopped at a chocolate workshop, a fruit wine workshop, and a jade workshop where we got a little "tour" of the process and a chance to shop their products. The ride itself was a great way to visit some of these smaller downtowns outside Antigua. We were also lucky to also see the Lenten "carpets" that are made of sawdust and flowers in the street each Sunday of Lent before the Jesus and Mary are led through the towns. What a beautiful experience!

Our tour guide Maria was wonderful and so much fun. Our local guide, Veronica, was also a wonderful addition to the hike. It was just 4 of us which made it more personable. The hike is quite steep but they were gracious to stop whenever I needed a break. There are horses if you need a ride up. We had a great lunch, great conversation, and beautiful atmosphere. A wonderful experience.

This is an excellent, smaller group tour to stay overnight on Acatenango, with Fuego visible from your tent. Great food, excellent guides & porters and a fantastic camping location. Our group naturally broke into 2 smaller groups - a faster one & slower - & each group had an excellent guide which made it safe, inclusive & enjoyable. We saw larger groups with a smaller ratio of guides & we saw someone get altitude sickness without her guide in sight. Also people turning around & not making it up to the top - our guides were always nearby & on the lookout for signs of fatigue or altitude sickness. Our guide, Vini, was entertaining & knowledgeable, with lots of positive energy & great photography skills. A highly recommended tour.

What an amazing hike! The views were amazing and you need to be an experienced hiker. This was a challenging hike. Maria was so great from her personable nature to her knowledge and amazing lunch. Definitely try to go with her as well as with Cubano.

Thank you so much to Old Town Outfitters for organizing an absolutely incredible 10-day journey through Guatemala for our family! From start to finish, the planning and execution were nothing short of flawless. Matt thoughtfully arranged every detail of our itinerary, including nice hotels, reliable transportation with trusted drivers, and guided activities that left us in awe. The highlight for us was the 4-day mountain biking adventure through the stunning Guatemalan outbacks. A special shoutout to Pepian & the Old Town Outfitters team, who guided us from our first day volcano excursion, to our unforgettable mountain biking trip and stayed connected with us for the remainder of our trip. Their professionalism, care, and attention to detail were exceptional. Whether it was picking us up promptly at our hotel, anticipating our needs, helping us navigate challenges on the biking trails, or staying connected via WhatsApp throughout our stay, Pepian & the team truly went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. This trip was easily one of the most memorable family adventures we’ve ever had, and we are deeply grateful to Old Town Outfitters for delivering an extraordinary experience!

We took the Acatenango Day Hike today with Ronoldo as our guide. What an AWESOME experience! While the hike was amazing, Ronoldo made it so much better. He was patient with us, kept us laughing and shared lots of information along the way. It would not have been the same without him.

We had fantastic experiences with our trips, both to Tikal and Lago Atitlán. Excellent guides and safe, experienced drivers. Thank you very much Mateo and Old Town Outfitters!

Acatenango Volcano Overnight Hike - an unforgettable hike! From the start the company were professional and responsive. The challenging hike was made easier by our guide, Rudy. He kept us motivated and looked after us very well. His knowledge and enthusiasm was welcomed. Overall the hike was a magical experience. Highly recommend Old Town Outfitters!

We had a fantastic time on this excursion. We met our guide, Rudy, in Antigua and then we drove an hour to the volcano. The ride was scenic. At Pacaya, we also had a local guide join our group. He was very knowledgeable about the flora and insects. We hiked up to the lava fields and roasted marshmallows over the heat vents from the volcano. Rudy prepared a delicious lunch which we enjoyed at the top. We had a lot of fun! Highly recommend bringing a rain poncho on this trip! It is a moderate difficulty hike with some very steep areas.

We had a fabulous tour with Old Town Outfitters of Pacaya volcano. It was a great hike to get us warmed up for the overnight Acatenango hike the following day. The scenery is gorgeous and we really enjoyed learning about different plants along the way. The guides are so friendly and knowledgeable and took great care of us. We loved the unique experience of roasting (steaming) marshmallows in a dried lava field and having lunch with a fabulous view. Highly recommend this tour and Old Town Outfitters for any other tours you’re interested in! They’re excellent.

One of the best tours I ever had was the overnight tour trek to acatenango volcano! Old townfitters were really good. Bini is very knowledgeable and made great meal at the base camp! Highly highly recommend them over other operators that charge less but also provide a very mediocre experience. What I also loved is they respect nature and ensured we’d didn’t pollute with plastic bottles and stuff. So total respect. They are premium and rightfully are amazing!

Had an amazing time doing the Acatenango Volcano overnight stay and even hiked over to Fuego as well. The whole trip was well organized and Rudy (our guide) made the biggest difference — he was friendly, thoughtful, and fun to hang out with. He also prepared delicious meals for us! We got to see some amazing views of Fuego from the base camp. The tents for the stay were spacious and the pads and sleeping bags provided were extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend doing this trek with Old Town Outfitters!

What an amazing experience! My partner and I did the Lake Atitlán Kayak & Hike Day Trip with Vini, who was an amazing guide! He was super friendly, fun, positive, knowledgeable, professional, and accommodating. Honestly, he was possibly the best tour guide I have ever had. And T=the activities we did with him were super fun and physically challenging (in a good way) for occasional hikers like us. Antonio, the driver, was also great. Overall, I would absolutely recommend going on an adventure via Old Town Outfitters (and ask for Vini)!!

Excellent visit to the Acatenanco Volcano (stay overnight). This is an excellent activity that involves walking through beatiful Guatemala landscapes. Our guide was excellent and did a great job not only in the preparation of the activity itself, transportation, cooking, guiding, telling us interesting volcanos facts, etc, but also to take us to the summit in a safe way. I strongly recommend Old Town Outfitters. Personnel is very friendly, reliable and helpful. I did not have enough clothes for the trip, and they kindly provided me at no extra charge a jacket and gloves. Making this trip enjoying such nice landsacpes and enviroment, is a life-time experience. Thank You for everything.
