Scenic hike to see a volcano.
Recommend the hike. It’s not long (option to go on horse) and scenic. Expect drive from town due to traffic around two hours each way. Only reason I didn’t give 5 star is because the guide was moving at a pace too fast for some of the people in the group. I ended up walking with the last person for their safety. Roasting marshmallows using volcano heat was fun.

This a very good tour...
This a very good tour package! This is the only package I can find that offers a day trip to Pacaya volcano from Guatemala city with very good value. The company had very good communication with me and driver is good and drop me to place I want. For those just what to see the volcano and do not want to stay in Antigua, this is the best option. It save time and save money. Finally, it is not company's issue, the local guide walk faster than I can. On one occasion, he did not wait me at a junction, I did not now which way to go.
Operator response
