Walk Antigua’s main sights in 2.5 hours with a small-group guide, stories of Guatemala’s third capital, and practical tips.

“We really enjoyed our tour through town! We learned all about the Spanish influence in the architecture and building details that we completely missed while walking around ourselves. Our tour guide, Luis Gonzalez, was patient with our 7 year old who became fixated on cotton candy while walking around and provided a fun trivia throughout the tour. He was fabulous with kids and tried to keep her interested through the tour. The length was perfect and the historical knowledge was something we wouldn’t have learned otherwise. After the tour, we found ourselves continuing to point out things our guide informed us about! Low key and small, we enjoyed every minute…”

“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.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 114 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $100

Hike Pacaya Volcano from Antigua with a guided visit, hotel pickup and drop-off, and a chance to roast marshmallows in volcanic heat.

“The experience was fine but not great. Our driver arrived 30 min late and was in his phone- text and voice- much of both rides. Not ideal. Our guide was very nice but didn’t know English very well so we got less out of the experience than I expected to. The climbing path was pretty crowded with horses- beware if you have an allergy. The views were nice. All in all fine trip if you want to see a volcano up close and have time constraints.”

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…”

We went deep into the Guatemalan culture to some great restaurants and were welcomed by the lovely and friendly owners. He gave us access to a part of the culture that we wouldn’t have otherwise and for that, I am grateful. I would tour over and over again. Btw, the Chicken Bus ride was a wild but fun experience. I hope you enjoy. Kesha- NYC”
