Volcano trip

The trip up to the volcano was awesome. If a question was asked they answered, but I wish the guides would have been a little more informative along the way. There were horses available as soon as we stepped off the bus and they follow you up in case you get tired of walking. No instructions were given though nor was anything mentioned of cost. The hot springs after the hike were nice but is not Natural springs like we were expecting. Overall still a great trip that our group of 4 enjoyed.

Wonderful Experience

This tour was a great addition to my stay in Guatemala. The tour guides were very accommodating with pick-up and drop-off at a location near my Airbnb. Plus the lunch was good at the Hot Springs Spa. The hike up the mountain wasn't extraneous if you are accustomed to hiking and walking distances longer than 2-3 miles. I'd recommend going on this tour!

Terrible experience at the end of the tour

We booked a tour from Antigua and for our surprise after the tour ended, we were taken to Guatemala City to drop some members of the group.
At the end of the tour I checked, and we were 30 min from Antigua and the detour took us 3 hours in heavy traffic to and from Guatemala City.
When we call to complain they told us that the tours was a shared trip for both cities but nowhere in the detail description of the tour this is indicated.
There is no reason, only to save cost, to have us in a bus for 3 hours after a full day of travel

Fine but not exceptional given the price

Everything about the tour was fine. Picked up at the meeting point (although would have been nice to have a confirmation of meeting point as part of / after booking). Tour guide who took us up Pacaya was experienced. There was a big group at the top, which meant we couldn't toast marshmallows. The guide took us an extra way up instead, but this was disappointing not to see the hottest part of the lava. Didn't feel we got that much information about the volcano (maybe there isn't that much to give?).
The food at the hotel was pretty generic and boring - pizza / burger / chicken. The spa experience was nice enough, but I've been to more impressive natural hot springs.
So everything was OK, but I expected "wow!" for the price.

Lydia, our tour guide was excellent and had a lot of great information about the area. The hot springs was relaxing and much needed after the hike. Unfortunately we only had 2 hours at the hot springs but those 2 hours were relaxing.

Great Bucket-List Experience!

This was a great tour! I highly recommend it. The views are AMAZING and the volcano was actually erupting (not a major eruption) when we made our way to the upper level... we were able to capture it on video. (Just a WOW moment!) You do not go all the way to the top, but we went far enough to roast marshmallows from the heat of the lava (far enough for me!) The guide was very nice... he made sure our group was together and everyone was okay... I admit, I'm not in the best shape. I thought I could hike it the volcano. Well, thank goodness for the horses that are waiting to help you finish the climb. I used the horse (100Q)... and you can also rent a stick for 5Q. It was worth it for me. I rented a horse for the walk up and used a stick to walk down. Although, if you work out or in pretty decent shape, you may not need it. When we left, we were ready for lunch and the hot springs... both were great! Lunch was good... and the spa was delightful. We really enjoyed it... plus the refreshing smoothie while sitting in the pool - so nice! I'm glad we decided on this tour!

I have never seen lava that close before!

This was an amazing tour! The hike up to where the jagged rock is is all uphill and takes about 90 minutes, but there are plenty of spots to take breaks, etc. Once you get up there, you will be in awe. You walk on old lava flows, and then we saw a very active lava flow up on the volcano that was flowing very fast! And then we were able to get even closer and walk on the razor sharp jagged rocks up to where the molten orange glowing rocks are being pushed out of the other rocks from the lava coming down. It got super hot here (150 degrees I bet) or more) and I only stood here about a minute before I backed off, but it was a super neat experience! I could almost feel the back of my neck burning because it was that hot. We even got to roast marshmallows in the rocks! The hike back down was much faster. We drove about an hour or so to the lunch spot which was delicious. This was also at the Hot Springs place. The hot springs felt amazing after a morning of hiking and climbing! They have several pools of various temperatures that you rotate to (hot to cold, cold to hot, etc). If you want to see lava, this tour is for you!!

Wonderful tour! I had booked this...

Wonderful tour! I had booked this before I arrived in Guatemala, and was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly it all worked out. I was traveling by myself, and as it turned out, because other travelers cancelled their trip, I was the only one on the tour. It was so much fun!!!!
The driver arrived on time, and was super friendly. I had a million questions, and he answered them all.
On the climb itself, I never felt rushed. Even though we had an incredibly strong headwind, I, at 52, walked up Pacaya with no issues whatsoever.The terrain is loose sand-like dirt and loose lava rocks, and you're going uphill, so it's not like a stroll around the block, but it's definitely do-able. The views are amazing and the history is interesting, and my guides could not have been nicer. They even let me take a photo on the horse Estrella after we were done :
Make sure you stop at the Lava Store, too. You can get a little more history and buy some trinkets if you desire. PLUS there's Ischia I think that's her name - she's a sweetie and worth the climb just to pet her!
The visit to the hot springs spa was relaxing. I got to shower off the volcano dust before relaxing in the various pools.The staff here was very attentive and friendly, and you really can't beat sipping a mango smoothie in a warm pool with the sun shining and amazing blue skies as your backdrop. I really enjoyed the architecture too.
I highly recommend this trip. It was a nice nature break from the busy city.
