This was such an incredible experience! Alfonso was such an amazing guide, he took great care of us on the volcano. He had so much excellent information to share and was a pleasure to be with. We got to have pizza on the volcano, it was truly delicious, and roasted marshmallows over volcanic vents. Highly recommend to anyone coming to Guatemala to come up Pacaya with Alfonso!
This was amazing experience. The guide was on time and very knowledgable. We learned much about life in Guatemala as well as an exciting trip up Pacaya. I highly recommend this tour.
April 2026 Pacaya Volcano I booked a private tour with MB Guatemaya Tours to hike Pacaya Volcano. Candy Raxon replied to my email inquiry and said they could accommodate my family of four. She asked for $200 via PayPal to secure the reservation and $200 cash on the day. I also asked for a WhatsApp number but never got one. Upon arrival to the port, I never saw our name. I spoke with another tour outfit and the operator said the owner past away and has heard of three other customers not receiving a tour. I booked with another tour company on the spot that day. I filed a complaint with PayPay and received my money back. MB Guatemaya got back with me the next day via email with a generic message to let me know their guide’s car broke down. Beware. Do not pay this company any money until after they deliver you a tour.
Hello, thank you for sharing your experience. We are very sorry to hear about the inconvenience you experienced during your trip. However, we would like to clarify that our company is Guatemaya Tours, and we believe there may have been a confusion with another agency called MB Guatemala Tours. We always strive to provide the best possible experience for our travelers by maintaining clear communication and reliable service. We sincerely hope you have the opportunity to enjoy Guatemala again in the future. Best regards.
Our family of 4 had a great time hiking up Pacaya with Alfonso. He grew up near the volcano and is very knowledgeable about the area. He was prompt in picking us up, a fast and easy communicator, and very helpful. I had twisted my ankle the day before while hiking in Peten and I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to do the hike, but Alfonso easily secured a horse for me with one fast phone call. When we arrived in the parking lot, the horse was right there waiting for us! He showed us a lot and was very generous with his time. Would highly recommend reaching out directly to Alfonso to book your tour of Pacaya.
Alfonso was AMAZING!! he was polite and courteous. His van was immaculate. And he was so knowledgeable- I highly recommend him - he’s fabulous!
We had a great day with Alfonso doing the Pacaya volcano tour. Even with the streets closed for the semana santa procesión he parked nearby and walked to meet us at our hotel and then drop us off at the end. He was knowledgeable and patient when our half of the group lagged behind, making it a very enjoyable outing
We had a great time with Guicell. She went at our pace and took the time to call out specific sites while we hiked.
We had an amazing tour with Alfonso! We were traveling with two children (ages 2 and 4) and he was very accommodating and made the experience fun. I highly recommend!
We had a great time on this trip. Alphonso it’s an amazing guid and driver. We are a family of four from the US He went at our pace, answer questions and provided great stories. It was a lot of fun with a knowledgeable and safe local guide. Please do this adventure and do it with Alphonso.
Yasmin was our guide and she did a good job adapting to my family's needs throughout the hike. I would recommend her to anyone looking to take their family up Pacaya
