    We did the ATV coffee tour and would totally recommend! The tour started promptly and the guides were helpful and explained how to use the ATVs. My friend rode by himself but I went with a guide because I didn’t want to drive one. We drove around the city streets and then to the coffee plant. They explained the process and they we had a coffee tasting. They also showed us the chocolate making area. We then drove to the top where they cross is to get views of the city. After, we drove down again and the tour was done. The guides made sure everyone was safe and kept everything going at a good pace!!

    What a great time we had with Simoon rentals! Our group of 10 signed up for the ATV tour that stopped by the chocolate farm, Hobbitanango and a couple other little spots. We met them at their office, got our helmets and walked over to where they kept their ATVs. They gave us a quick demo on how to operate the ATVs And off we went! They’re very easy to operate as we had a few with us that were not mechanically inclined and they were riding the ATVs with no issues. I felt safe the whole time despite riding through public traffic. Since we had a bigger group they split us into two groups of 5 that way it wasn’t too disruptive to the public traffic. I’ll definitely be back to rent some other things!

    We did the ATV tour to pacaya. We were each provided with a bag that contained lunch, drinks, and snacks. It was my first time riding an ATV, I took a chance trying it for the first time here. It was intimidating at times, we went through regular roads first, fortunately there was no traffic since it was early during a weekday. Then we ended up around the volcano rocky road, and I ended up falling off my ATV during a turn. One of the mirrors broke, and at the end of the tour we were told we'd be charged $20 to replace it. It was pretty frustrating that they'd still charge me for that when it was an accident that caused me to fall off completely. They also had said we would be done by 3pm, but a couple of the ATVs were giving issues throughout and we ended up not getting back to Antigua until after 5. Overall, it was a unique experience and I would still recommend it rather than taking a regular hiking tour of the volcano.

    Sooooo I had a great time. My boyfriend and I rode on the same ATV. Initially the tour was supposed to go to Hobbitenango but unfortunately due to political unrest we were unable to go so we visited some other places. We went to the Hill of the Cross and learned of the history of the Mayans and the Conquistadors, which was interesting. Then it poured, lol. Fernando our tour guide brought ponchos for everyone and he ran and got them for us so we could be comfortable. He was very attentive, super knowledgeable of the history of Guatemala and overall just a great guide. I would definitely go on Simoon tours again. We had so much fun.

    We had a big group of 20 and the guides made it very easy and fun. They did a lot of things that were customized to us and were very safety conscious. It all was well done with professional people.

    I took this tour today....just amazing!! It was 4 or 5 hours. We had 2 great stop...Cerrro Las Cruces and Hobbitenango where we actually spent hours taking pictures, playing, eating and drinking. It was great!!! Our guide, Esteban was FABULOUS, sweet and very patient 😆

  • 5/5 Michelle G. 1 year ago on Google
    We had an amazing day! Our guides were so kind and concerned for everyone. We felt very safe in the hands of them. Hobbitenango was amazing, Lunch at 8,000 feet was spectacular. I was a bit nervous about the tour because of traffic and the hills but it was so fun and something I will never forget! DO IT 🌋

    This tour actually exceeded my expectations. My friend and I were so happy we chose to spend our last day in Antigua on the mountain atv tour. Esteban, our guide, was AWESOME! Super knowledgeable, personable, patient and made us feel very safe every step of the way. I’m a chicken about adventure sports lol but riding the ATV was such a beautiful way to see places like cerro de la Cruz and hobbitenango. We were a group of 5 which felt nice and intimate. Esteban even helped us take some awesome pics (a lot haha). Got back a little late but honestly I couldn’t get enough. Do it :)

    Very trustworthy place that takes credit cards. Our tour guide was very friendly and spoke excellent English. We did the ATV tour to Hobbitenango

    Eric was an awesome guide! He took the best pictures and videos for us. He was also really knowledgeable about the places we stopped at and local history. We had so much fun and felt super safe with him.

    We did 2 tours with Simoon and used the for the transfer to Panajachel. Everything worked very smoothly and everyone we interacted with were friendly and professional. We first did the ATV coffee tour with our guide Alex. Alex did a great job of showing us around and ensuring we had a great time. We was a superb guide and had an awesome Halloween costume (we hope Alex wins). Through the tour we saw how coffee was made, went to an outlook with a view of the city and Alex took us to a really nice beergarten. Ask for Alex if you do this tour! The next day we did the ATV volcano tour. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great but our guide Oscar ensured we had a great time anyways. I can highly recommend this tour if you wanna see the lava fields without trekking. I can highly recommend this tour. They also take a lot of pictures and send them to you which is an amazing touch! 10/10 recommend. Thanks so much team!

    Alex was amazing as a tour guide! Very kind and told me interesting facts about antigua at each of our stops. He showed me how to use the ATV and reassured me that if I ever needed help, he’d be there (just honk twice!). The first stop on our mountain tour was a very cute chocolate production place. It was nice to try cacao beans and some of their hot chocolate. I was surprised there was also a winery to sample some products. Alex was a great photographer at all our stops, and knew the best way to do all there is to do at Hobbitenango. I’m grateful I chose this tour and highly recommend it to others! Great way to see a lot in a shorter amount of time.

    All staff speaks fluent English, they are very kind and informative. They suggest for great places to go check out and provide a map. I had some issues with my vehicle and they replaced it with another one with no haggling. They also provide the gasoline, which is impressive. They do not expect you to bring it back full. The rates are very good, and they do not try to screw you. I booked 24hrs, and they were willing to split the 24hrs into 2 days of 12 hours because of the parking issue in Antigua. They don't want you to leave the vehicle outside overnight on the street, because of theft issues. They will let you keep it overnight if your hotel has a secured place to keep it parked. We always head back to our room for sun down anyways, so that worked out really well for us. We will definitely be returning to Guatemala, and we will definitely be returning to simoon for a rental.

    What an amazing ATV tour!! We stopped by so many towns and got to experience the views, coffee, weaving, chocolate & pottery in Lake Atitlan! Shout out to the best guide, Yeshua! Definitely recommend you ask for him if you plan to utilize their services! He was extremely professional, fun & my girlfriends and I felt completely safe with him. (Plus, he’s a great photographer so you won’t have to worry about taking pictures & can enjoy the experience 📸 ) Muchas gracias!!

    Amazing amazing sunset tour in Antigua with our guide Erick. He was so attentive, helpful and caring. The places we experiences such as Hobbitenango, to the amazing photos and videos taken by our guides were top notch! Simoon Tours also schedule rides in between cities if you need it. I do not have enough good things to say!! Thank you! Muchas gracias!

    Really nice and professional people I can totally recommend. We did the Coffee ATV Tour and our Guide had such a big knowlegde. His english skills were also very very good.

    Gio is one of if not the best adventure guide I’ve ever had in Central America. We visited Hill of the Cross and the coffee estate La Azotea. Gio gave us some really fun ideas for pictures and videos, including taking video our our group while riding the quads. He is a patient, well spoken, and an extremely knowledgeable guide. Simoon Rentals provided us with some ATV’s that ran great, were clean, and well maintained. Highly recommended and sad I can only give Simoon Rentals and Gio 5-stars.

    We did the volcano ATV tour. Was spectacular. Our guide was also terrific. They should put a weight restriction on the ATV so the ATV doesn't break on people on the ride.

  • 5/5 Jenn C. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a wonderful time with Simoon Rentals & Tours. We did the sunset ATV tour with Gio as our guide. Gio was very knowledgeable and a fantastic photographer. We lucked out, that no one else had joined the tour that evening and we were the only ones. So, it turned out to be a private tour.

    I did the Pacaya Tour, I had a blast! It was an amazing experience! You meet your guides at their office and then they'll take you to San Vicente Pacaya, which is a 1 hr drive from Antigua. The first stop it's at their office where they give you a demo on how to use the ATVs and do's and don't. Then you drive for 20 mins or less to the National Park, leave the ATVs there, check-in at the Park's office (the ticket fee is already included) and they give you a ride on their pick-up very close to the summit! You hike for 30-40 mins to the crater where you can rest and heat your pizza and panini on the volcano vents! Also, a full lunch is included with Gatorade, a bottle of water, snacks, pizza, panini, chocolates & marshmallows! The view from there is AMAZING! After that, you go back to the ATV's and drive to the petrified lava rivers (you'll be impressed!), the way to get there is the best part, because the road is meant for 4WD vehicles and the ATVs. Thinking that last year was over 1000 or more degrees burning everything in their path! (you'll see it in my shared pics!) You do a little hike and appreciate the volcano behind you and the sunset. And the last part of the tour is visiting the wind mills, the view is breathtaking! You can see the huge wind mills and in front of you, the Fuego and Acatenango Volcanoes! It's quite a view!!! I totally recommend it! The guides were nice and friendly, I loved the full service: the transportation, food, entrance to the park and local guide and equipment.

    One of the best tours we’ve been on. Definitely recommend their Village Tour. Ask for Darell as your guide. He was very patient, thorough, FRIENDLY, and accommodating to everyone in the group.

  • 5/5 Rebecca S. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a group of 11 women and booked the Antigua mountain tour. We had the time of our lives. Daryl and Yeshua were the best tour guides. They were so patient (even with 11 women shopping at HobbitTeanago) and kind. It was raining most of the time, but even with that we still had fun. They made us feel cared for and safe at all times. If you're in the area you need to check them out.

  • 5/5 Kristi R. 1 year ago on Google
    10/10 recommend! My partner and I did the Lake Atitlan tour to Santa Catarina Palopó, + San Antonio Palopó - chocolate shop, ceramics experience, colorful cities, and stunning lake views along the way! We joined three others, so our tour was just us 5 and our guide. We also did the Pacaya Tour from Antigua, and it wound up just being us two and our guide! Definitely take some cash because the Lava Store you visit on the side of the volcano was SO cute and had earrings, rings, and necklaces all made with volcanic ash and rock. Simoon provided marshmallows and cookies to make some fun s'mores too! It was pretty cloudy the day we toured Pacaya and we got poured on the way back, but honestly, I didn't mind at all because the entire experience was so magical. Our guides were professional, fun, and took us to amazing spots! We'd totally do it again and can't recommend Simoon and their team enough.

    Amazing guided ATV-tour thru the beautiful Antigua! Diego was so wonderful and knowledgeable of the area. The ride was fun and the views were spectacular! Highly recommend checking out Simoon while in Guatemala!

  • 5/5 Reagan File B. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a blast touring the island with Jose. He was a stellar friend of a guide. The drinks were perfect as well as the views. I wish we had done it for longer. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

  • 5/5 Anna R. 2 years ago on Google
    I highly recommend Simoon! I did the Villages tour and it was one of the biggest highlights of my week in Antigua. The whole tour was super safe and professional. Driving the ATVs is so much fun, and the scenery is beautiful. We stopped for lunch at an amazing restaurant, and I also loved visiting local chocolate stores. I would absolutely do another tour with Simoon when I visit Antigua again.

  • 5/5 Tim O. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Villages tour today. Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Had a great time, good price, fun ATVs!

  • 5/5 Sheldon R. 2 years ago on Google
    Simoons hires quality staff that speak English and know about serious adventure! These guys are great, hard workers, always looking to improve. If you ask them questions, they'll help you out and be honest, friendly, and professional at the same time. Willing to accomodate you in multiple locations, and will respond if you message them or call. The bikes are affordable; and the rate goes down the longer you rent for. The 250cc Chinese motorcycles perform well enough and haven't given me trouble after 250km of riding.

  • 5/5 motomonk 1 year ago on Google
    The bikes are not perfect but they do they job. They rented my bike after I told them I would be back. The staff is super nice and I will be back.

    The mountain tour was absolutely fantastic. I was very nervous about riding an ATV, but Giovanni (the guide) was so kind and patient. It was a lot of fun and very cool! It was definitely the highlight of my birthday trip.
