Well, very mixed feelings about this. We booked a tour to Acatenango and enquired for shuttles. Tour to Aca was fine, they use the company Barcos. We were charged 325quetzales and met others on the trip who paid 250. Our guides were nice, food good, equipment functional, community tents of 12 persons. A day later we enquired for a shuttle to El Salvador. He wanted 570 per person, dropped that to 550, when I said its too much. Told him I found prices of 300 to 350, so he called someone and said its now 370. We booked with someone else... Prices here are completely made up... if you keep that in mind, compare and haggle - the service provided is ok but at the lowcost / low quality end.

The guy sold me a a day trip to acatengo that was not good. He told me I would be able to hike to the top of Acatenago in 2.5 hours and that it would not be that cold. The tour guides who I met told me it would prob take more like 3 to 4 hours to get to the top. He said leaving Antigua at 130pm was not a big deal. But by the time I got picked up and found our tour guide it was 330pm and was cooling off in temperatures. We started hiking and after 30 mins I could already see my breathe. My shirt was soaked and I only had a change of long sleeve and a hoodie and a light wind breaker so I decided to stop hiking because I would have probably froze to death by the time I got to the top. I feel like the guy just wanted to sell me the trip and did not prepare me for it even though I asked him questions. If you are to do this make sure you bring lots of warm clothing and leave at a decent time.

i had the best time on acatenango volcano! this agency really differenciates from other agencies as they have a privileged location on the highest platform to see a stunning sunset. plus my guide was amazing. i can highly recommend this agency.

Alex is a great navigator to help the naive tourist wade through all the bullshit of overpriced offers. Ask for his best price and he will deliver. In my experience he had the best prices in town. I booked my 2 day Acatenango trek and, subsequently, my transport on from Antigua - no hassles or regrets with either. Here's to a belated 'feliz cumpleaños'!

this is one of the highlights we've done across Central America. I highly recommend this travel agency as you will get the best view of Acatenango Vulcan & Fuego. the staff and guides are super friendly and support you to get all the way up with the group !!!

Alex is very professional. We booked a shuttle from Antigua to San Pedro and he was very helpful. He has plenty of other offers including shuttles, tours and more.

Good experience with Alex! He arranged our transportation from Antigua to Rio Dulce. We wanted to take the bus to Rio in the afternoon, and no other tourist office was able to provide us with that service. It wasn’t cheap, but it was very convenient! The bus was extremely comfortable, with big comfy chairs that can be adjusted to lay down, usb chart points and wifi. Thanks so much for the service Alex, we will definitely recommend you to others!

An amazing experience watching Mount fuego erupt from our cosy camp high up in acatenango. We were given the option to choose between two overnight acatenango tours. The standard tour which is similar across all the agencies in Antigua OR a slightly more expensive tour which let's you sleep in wooden shelters at a point slight higher up the volcano. We chose to pay the extra for the slightly more expensive tour and I think it was worth every penny. Firstly the local guides who looked after us were amazing. The transfer was excellent and the local people who guided up the mountain were the most kind, patient, and knowledgeable. We were also treated to a campfire, hot chocolate, and marshmallows, while we waited for fuego to erupt. Secondly the view from the camp was outstanding, probably the best view of fuego we could have asked for. Thank you also to A Viajar Guatemala for making sure we were well informed and felt free to choose the tour which most suited us. Also for making sure we were well prepared for the hike!

Great experience! Alexander was great with us and very clear. We fully recommend A Viajar Guatemala en Antigua. Good prices as well.

We booked an overnight tour of Acatenango and a shuttle to panajachel with Alex and they were both great experiences. Good prices and communication. I highly recommend asking for the Local Adventures company if you’re thinking of hiking the volcano as their camp had great views of the volcano and very good guides as well.

I had an absolutely incredible experience with this company. I did the Acatenango Hike which was a once in a lifetime experience and absolutely worth it. The company provides everything for you, you get Warm clothes, 3 delicious meals and in the evening they give you hot chocolate and marshmallows to roast on the fire. The cabins are also very cozy and comfortable and they are located on the higher platforms therefore the view is incredible. The guide and the organizers were extremely helpful and kind. All in all it was an incredible experience and i can’t recommend this agency enough! Thank you so much:)))

Perfect! We took the overnight Volcan Acatenango via A Viajar Guatemala. The price is great in regards to others, and Alex was very helpful and explained us all we need to know for the trek. The journey was perfect, great guide and good equipments included. Clean tents, mats and sleeping bags are waiting for you at the camp site at 3700m, you don't have to carry it. Perfect. We also book a shuttle to San Pedro with Alex: cheap, on time and comfortable. 100% recommended

Alex and his company was recommended to us by our hotel for all kinds of tours and shuttles in Antigua and around. We are very happy we stopped by his agency and chose them for our hike and shuttles. We booked a one day hiking trip for Acatenango Volcano and our shuttle to Panajachel from Antigua. He is very nice, he gave us a reasonable price, everything was exactly as he told us, everyone was on time. Our hiking guide Rene was incredible. We couldn’t ask for a better guide. Over all we highly recommend Alex’s agency. We had a perfect experience with all his team. Thank you Alex and Rene!

Perfect tour with our guide Manuel. Thank you to Alex for the booking.

Fantastic! We‘ve booked the two day tour to the volcano acatenango. As the agency cooperates with locals, the campsite is located perfectly to watch the vulcano irruption at night. Our tourguide Alex was amazing and the food was very delicious- even wine for dinner! It‘s definitely worth the money!!! I also booked the shuttle to the airport in Guatemala City and everything worked fantastic. The driver collected me on time and I had a comfortable drive to the airport.

We did the Pacaya Volcano tour with this company and while the excursion is a great unique experience and definitely worth doing we wouldn't recommend using this company. The driver was probably one of the worst we have had in our 5 month Latin America travels which meant we arrived almost an hour later than we should have and all with stiff necks from all the rapid unnecessary breaking. Our guide was a local and he was sweet and knowledgable but made us rush the entire thing (probably because we were late and he didnt want us to have to hike all the way down in the dark). We only had a few minutes at the top to take pictures and were rushed down to so the marshmallow roasting for 5 minutes and then hurried to hike back down. So overall definitely do the tour but with someone else!

Alex was a great find. We wanted to do a trip to Acatenango that did not involve camping overnight but allowed us to get to the summit in time for the sunrise. He offered a private tour that commenced at midnight for a very reasonable price and it worked out perfectly for us - we were the first to arrive at the summit and enjoyed breathtaking views of the volcanic complex including the hyperactive erupting Volcan Fuego. Everything was well organized, from the pick up to the guide service, to the return journey. We were so impressed that we booked our shuttle service to Lake Atitlan with his company as well. Again, it was a smooth sailing experience - no delays and a very comfortable ride. If we return to Antigua we will definitely go straight to Alex again!

We booked the Acatenango tour and transport to Lago Atitlán and El Salvador with this agency. They were very friendly and responsive. Patiently answered all our questions. We had a great Acatenango experience thanks to these guys. Would definitely recommend booking tours or transport with A Viajar Guatemala!

We used A Viajar to book a sunrise Acatenango tour, and also for a shuttle from Antigua to the airport. We found them to be honest and reliable, and communication via WhatsApp was excellent. We would not hesitate to use them again for a future trip to Guatemala. One note, we were told we would have a bilingual guide. We did not. We both speak a fair amount of Spanish, so for us, this was ok and not a major problem. If you really want/need bilingual, verify. A few words of caution and advice for Acatenango: -Make sure you are up there in the dark, otherwise you won’t see the eruptions. -It is difficult!…. and that’s coming from 2 experienced Colorado hikers. -It’s pretty steep. I don’t usually hike with poles, but we had the option to rent. My recommendation is to bring or rent 2 poles. I found them to be a godsend -Be prepared, it gets cold. I had just enough clothes. But, a dry base layer would have been nice to have to change into. Hat/gloves/and layers! -if you have the time, I bet the overnight is fantastic. The cabins at basecamp were comfortable with mattresses, sleeping bags, blankets and pillows. And the view of Fuego is outstanding! -we did the sunrise hike, which means we were picked up from our hotel at 11pm and we started hiking just after midnight. We had the added bonus of clear night with an almost full moon. It was spectacular, really. -Hiking down in the morning, we passed MANY large groups that were heading up. Made us realize that the night hike was very unique, the private tour was the way to go, and left us wondering how many of those people would actually make it to the top?!

Be relaxed about the timelines sometimes, but the trip up to acatenango was spectacular. Great guide, smaller group and great Basecamp location. Beds were great and warm blankets. View is incredible and the meals were also very good. Would recommend for this experience. Easy to book and plan, but be prepared for some serious hiking. Also carry trash out! Don't be horrible and leave things behind.
