First timer in Guatemala with friends and this was one of the more relaxed, very photogenic and scenic view point excursions. It was just me and 2 friend, a group of 3 so we felt like the excursion was on our own page and just for us. Our driver we Fernando and our guide was Esteban and it’s were friendly, and amazing. Esteban on the tour took Plenty of photos for us, and stopped when we needed breaks from all the incline walking. MUST HAVES: - water, hydrations packs, good study shoes, bring a fan or hat. It’s A LOT of stairs so be prepared. But overall a great half day!
This is a must do excursion. John was an excellent tour guide and photographer. The views of the land and cities are spectacular. We recommend trying the rope swing for some extra fun.
Awesome 10/10 must do experience! Our tour guide Jose was great and made the experience 10x better. We were picked up exactly at the pickup time and everything went smooth. Definitely a must do tour when visiting Guatemala!
It was an amazing experience with the 2 Jose’s. Great people and a fun time.
We had the best time!! Nelly, our guide, was phenomenal. Very knowledgeable, great English and beyond patient & loving with my chatty 6 year old. Would highly recommend.
Great experience. Would recommend if you like hiking and great views. Esteban has a great attitude and was amazing sharing his knowledge while guiding my group.
Estefan was an excellent guide, providing much history and information that I did not expect from this tour. Definite bonus! Excellent views and many great picture opportunities. Be prepared for many, many, many steps. 😎
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely amazing experience with our tour guide, Nelly, during our visit to Hobbitenango and Altamira. She truly made the day unforgettable. What stood out most was how incredible she was with my 5-year-old daughter. Nelly went above and beyond to make her feel special, included, and engaged throughout the entire trip. Even after the tour, my daughter couldn’t stop talking about Nelly and all the fun she had. That alone says everything about the kind of person and guide she is. Nelly never rushed us and allowed us to take our time enjoying both mountains, the breathtaking views, and all the attractions. She was patient, kind, knowledgeable, and made the experience feel personal rather than just another tour. She also took countless photos for us, making sure we captured all the memories without ever making it feel like an inconvenience. Thanks to her, we came home with amazing pictures and even better memories. If you’re visiting Hobbitenango and Altamira, I highly recommend requesting Nelly as your guide. She is warm, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about making sure her guests have the best possible experience. Thank you, Nelly, for making this such a special day for our family!
Fernando and our driver were excellent. In particular Fernando was an amazing tour guide and he modifies it to who's on the tour. You know when you book this that Hobbitenango and Altamira are two beautiful picturesque spots, but it also has tons of fun games and activities if you're a more active group. There's an air swing and archery at Hobbitenango, plus mario kart and a little gym at Altamira, a lot of fun activities and the restaurant and bar at Altamira is beautiful and gives you a stunning view! I would recommend this tour to anyone, it's not that pricey and you do and see a lot.
