These 15 tours make a case for a few hours: Zona 1 and the Palacio Nacional, the Popol Vuh and Ixchel museums, the relief map, and the food in Zona 4. Prices, durations and hotel pickup details are on every entry.

Shared door-to-door shuttle from Antigua to Guatemala City La Aurora Airport, with air-conditioned comfort, easy pickup, and flexible drop-offs.
“The driver made one stop for gas/bathroom and two stops in Guatemala City before getting to the airport. He picked me up 15 mins early and picked up the last passenger 30 mins after me. We made it to the airport 3 hrs after the last passenger boarded. Make sure you allow for at least 4.5 hrs (630pm schedule for an 11pm flight) to ensure you don’t miss your flight.”
Pacaya Volcano day trip from Antigua or Guatemala City. Hike or ride a horse to steaming vents, roast marshmallows, and see Calderas lagoon.
“We had an awesome experience hiking Pacaya Volcano! Our guides, Pedro and Melvin, were fantastic — super friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the group moving at an easy, comfortable pace. The hike itself was very manageable, and even though we didn’t use the horses, it was nice knowing they were available if needed. We rented hiking sticks which definitely helped on the steeper parts. At the top, we tried the famous volcano pizza. It’s definitely on the pricey side, but honestly a fun, once-in-a-lifetime thing and absolutely worth it. We also got to roast marshmallows using the natural heat vents near the base of the volcano, which was such a cool…”

Hike active Pacaya Volcano from Guatemala City, then relax at Kawilal thermal pools with lunch on a full-day trip.
“The local tour folks grayline tours were great. Couple of things to give you the heads up: 1. There are walking sticks and horses available for a cost. It would have been nice to know this ahead of time so I could have brought extra cash. I rode a horse up as it was steeper than I expected and it was Q100 one way. I walked down. 2. The 'hot springs' are really thermal therapy. Meaning you start in a hot 109 degree pool and then move to a cold 75 degree pool etc. Just want people to understand that - I thought it was fun to try something new…”
