It was a fun activity and all of us (4 friends) enjoyed it. Angel, our guide, was pleasant and helpful. He tried very hard to make this tour an unforgettable Volcan Pacaya experience.
Early morning pickup. Driver was on time and friendly. Tour on safe well maintained ATVs. We are in our late 60s and felt very comfortable with the tour route. Guide spoke English and was friendly. Gave bottle water and snack at turn around point. It was about 3hrs of sightseeing and 2 hrs of driving to and from from hotel in Guatemala city
We feel good that you enjoy it.
Had a great time in - expect a workout for controlling the atv. The tour guide was very sweet and gave us a little extra time to hike the volcano.
this is one of a kind experience. Great.
The communication with this provider was exceptional. They were punctual at every step—picking us up, starting the tour, and finishing right on time. The two young ladies leading the tour were a fantastic team. They knew the route well, gave clear instructions on how to operate the ATVs, and provided guidance on what to do if we got stuck. We were also supplied with water and/or Gatorade. The views along the way were absolutely stunning, especially when we reached the base of the volcano—it was breathtaking! The ride was rough, but that just added to the adventure for us. However, I wouldn’t recommend this tour for someone with spine issues, as the terrain is pretty rugged. They did mention that a less intense route is available for older participants, which is a great option. That said, we did run into one issue. We had reserved two ATVs—one for me and one for my husband—but they only had one available when we arrived. I couldn’t ride due to an injury from the day before, so it didn’t affect me personally, but our last conversation confirmed that two ATVs were reserved for us. It seemed like they overbooked, and my ATV was given to another client. If I hadn’t been injured, I wouldn’t have had the chance to ride because of this mix-up, which was a bit disappointing. Lastly, if you're planning to ride as a passenger, I’d advise against it—the backseat is really uncomfortable, and you'll end up sore from constantly hitting the metal bars. Ensure everyone in your group has their ATV for the best experience! Would I book this experience again? ABSOLUTELY!!!
Thank you very much for your review and let me know about the issue not avaliable 2 ATV. I personaly going to take care about it. About the inconvinience yes we have details in the tour description is suitable with back problems. Than you one more for this important review.
