“I absolutely loved this tour!!! my first time riding an ATV. the guides were so fun and they were patient when I got myself stuck twice. the experience of riding ATVs through a lava field at the base of a volcano is a hell of a way to spend a Sunday. now I want to do more ATV tours. I absolutely would do another tour with this company. word of advice - don't forget sunscreen! I got a little burnt because you will be riding at a higher altitude.”

“We had an amazing time on this adventure. Christian was our guide and he was phenomenal. Rolling through the streets and hills of Antigua in the mule was fun. Christian walked us through all the sites, took our pictures, and told us the history behind some of the stuff! There was a minor mix up with being picked up. We thought the tour was going to pick us up and drop us off at the Airbnb, but we met Christian at the office to start the tour and he dropped us off afterwards.”

“Pleasing a group of 8 people (ages 13-76) with one activity is no easy task, but this tour did just that. Two of us had done the tour in April 2017 and thought it might be a great way to end a week in Antigua for our big group. It’s a bit of adventure, excitement; very different sights, and sounds. You see and experience places that I do not believe you will easily come upon if not for this tour. Our guides ‘Fofo’ and Darrell were terrific! – Absolutely worth the price – Highly recommend it – Will do it again - I say it's great for couples, family with…”

“This was a great tour, but I have to say that my tour guide Giovanni was very distracted on his phone all the time. I came outside of my hotel and saw him in front of me in the car on his phone. I was there for at least 15 minutes and he didn't noticed me until I send the message to the company. The something happen through the whole tour, he was always on his phone talking or texting and we had to rush on our last stop. I would've given the tour 5 star if it wasn't for the guide being so distracted. Other than this, I would…”

“Tanto el tour como el guia muy agradable! Vistas espectaculares. Pero muchas horas para la actividad. Terminamos antes de tiempo y eso que no íbamos con prisa le falta algo más que visitar al tour.”
ATV adventure from Antigua to Hobbitenango, with a hobbit-style village tour, panoramic stops, and included meal and guide.
“Very fun activity. Pedro was a great guide. I really enjoyed it this. Be ready to drive an ATV right inside the colonial city, and up hill sharing the road with actual traffic. It is an ATV experience right in the city, and considering all the traffic, requires some skills and it can be challenging. Also going down hill back to town via the main road can be challenging if you are not used to driving ATVs. However It’s an amazing experience. Highly Recommended. I would do it again!”
