    Review of: Pacaya Volcano Day Trip from Guatemala City
    Very cool and surreal. Worth seeing
    Very cool experience! Hiking a volcano is a bit surreal. A little work to do but if you can walk two miles on a street no problem, not for coach potato people. Wear hiking shoes or boots not gym shoes. Nathan out guide was excellent and would highly recommend this tour.

    Review of: Private ATV Tour of the Pacaya Volcano
    Horseback to the Volcanoe
    Beautiful, fun, informative and exciting. Excellent tour guides. Everything from the ATV ride, the horseback ride then the walk to the volcanoe (while the clouds moved in around us) to the delicious meals and then relaxing in the hot spring. This tour was fabulous

    Review of: Pacaya Volcano Tour and Hot Springs from Guatemala City
    So glad we opted for this tour
    This was a great way to relieve our designated driver for a day and so glad we opted for this tour. A lovely little hike to see Pacaya Volcano close-up, we were the first party to ascend that day and glimpsed some lava. The views from the top were well worth it and taking El Arenal route on the descent was an adventure. After the hike, the Kawilal Spa was just the ticket! We even had the whole area to ourselves due to the pandemic, so all felt very safe. The smoothie and lunch there were also very delicious. Could have done with a tad more direction at times, but all part of the fun!

    Review of: Graffiti Walking Tour in 4 Grados Norte Guatemala City
    Getting Artsy in Guatemala
    My favorite part of the experience is besides the initial mix up Paula went out of her way to make sure I got a chance to experience the graffiti tour. Her customer service and knowlegde was outstanding and I truly do appreciate it. Highly recommend the tour, you'll learn so much!

    Review of: Pacaya Volcano Hikking from Guatemala city
    Easy and unforgettable experiences!
    What a cool experience! I actually booked three separate tours with GTM, all went smoothly! I was able to get picked up and dropped off from my airbnb. Hector was communicative and set everything up custom according to my needs as I was staying in Guatemala City vs Antigua where a lot more travelers stay. The pacaya tour is worth going. Bring an extra 350 local currency to ride the horses up instead of hiking as the trail is rather messy otherwise. Bring a few extra bucks for souvenir shops where you can get items made of the volcano ash and even buy some beer or snacks for the horse ride up. I especially wanted to go on this tour to try pizza pacaya - pizza made within the volcano rock! Definitely worth the money - the guy even takes pay pal! Make sure to ask your tour guide to stop here and try it. I also did semuc champey which is 100% worth it - but make sure to wear good hiking shoes and water shoes as the trail is harder than it appears, and the rocks within the thermal pools are slippery and a little dangerous in the cave. This was especially cool as at the end you basically go through an obstacle course in a cave using only a candlelight to see! Hector made sure I got to see this and planned it around a weekend that wouldn’t be as crowded given the influx of tourists for Holy Week. The hotel was actually really nice as well - a beautiful eco lodge by the water with a pool and private room with a hammock. The lunch was also great with plenty of options. My last tour was an overnight hike on acetenago. They booked me a hotel in Antigua the first night which was so clean and had a beautiful garden and traditional breakfast included. This is a very difficult hike as the majority of the hike is on a steep incline. Make sure to wear appropriate shoes, warm clothes as it is cold on the top of the volcano, bring toilet paper and additional Gatorade and snacks! You can buy things along the way but it’s best to be prepared. We could see the lava coming out or Volcan Fuego which was unforgettable. Every tour I went on was incredible and worth every penny. Thanks again for making it so easy!

    Review of: Altamira + Hobbitenango: Movie Themed Nature Parks - Enjoy In A Private Full-Day
    AMAZING!!!
    Our tour guide, Jennifer, was informational, enthusiastic, and went above and beyond for us! Not only did she teach us and show us so much of Altamira and Hobbitenango she was so generous helping us take pictures, suggesting what to eat, etc. Her passion for tourism was evident from the moment we met her and it made the tour unforgettable. Truly the best tour guide I've ever had in any of the countries and tours I've been on! I miss Jennifer!!

    Great place
    This is a spectacular place. In this beach you will find turtles, eggs, black sand and good ocean. Perfect for kids and family members. Also is a romantic beach. The water is warm. There is a 2 or 3 hours from the city depending the traffic.
