      Very underwhelmed by this tour
      Even though our tour guide was very nice and accommodating, the tour itself was very underwhelming. We spent a lot of time driving from one place to the other and really did not find either place that we were taken exciting or that much fun. Not worth the money.

      Worthy experienxe
      Views were awsome. The guide was so kind explaining the history of this place and taking pictures because I was a solo traveler. The ride was fun enjoying also the sunset - highly recommended!!!

      Worth doing
      Our trip was amazing. Louis was our tour guide. He was thoughtful of all our needs, a great photographer and funny! The excursion was good but he made it better. The ride up the mountain had beautiful views of the mountains and villages. We enjoyed a great breakfast at the restaurant and loved the swing and posing for pics on the hand.

      Adventure worth every penny!
      We had no expectations for this adventure, but it proved to be one of the best yet! We have traveled the world and found this adventure to be one of the best we have ever done. The crew is accommodating, informative, and took care of every detail. This is one adventure you do not want to miss!

      Best experience yet in Antigua!
      Breathtaking experience with the best guide, Luis! The nicest ATVs and UTVs you could ever ride. Even with two people on an ATV, there was an extra seat on the back with handles to make the rides so comfortable! The scenery was unreal and the trip to “hobbit land” is a MUST! We felt extremely safe and cared for the entire time! A must do!!!

      Thank you Sophia!
      Sophia was an absolute gem of a human being. From her friendly personality to being a legend of a personal photographer, she made this experience so memorable (she deserves a big raise!!). The ATV’s added a rush and elevated this experience to the next level. I highly recommend this tour and look forward to reunited with Sophia and her team when I come back to visit Antigua in the future.

      Great tour if you don’t have a lot of time
      A wonderful tour! Eddie is patient, kind, very helpful. He speaks Spanish and French, which is a huge bonus because my Spanish isn’t great, but my French is good. I loved to learn about the macadamias and seeing the cacao processing and even trying wine made from local fruit. The ATVs are so much fun and I felt very safe the entire time. Highly recommend. We got back exactly when the tour ended and I had plenty of time in the afternoon to get lunch, visit a museum, and get ready for dinner.

      Excellent Adventure
      Eddie was our guide and was fantastic! The views are epic! I highly recommend anyone wanting to adventure up into the mountians the easy way, this is it. We took the UTV's which drove and rode excellent. Well worth the money.

      A great time to see something different from shiny Antigua
      We did the village tour with Brian and we had a wonderful time. It was great to get out of the shiny Antigua and see a bit more of the real life. The kids were going out of school, people were going out of work. The villages were full of colorful and cheerful life. Brian was a very nice guide. Only tip : the visit chocolate place is pretty useless and we decided to skip the wine place

      No concern for their clientele!
      I booked a ticket Monday afternoon for Tuesday morning. I go confirmation and E ticket. I showed up at designated meeting point and no one showed up. I tried calling but no one answered. A nice man in twin parking lot saw me amd I told him I was waiting for your. He made a call and a woman got on the phone and said no one is coming!!! I was shocked! There are many tour companies in Antigua, stay away from this one!

      Great Explore 4x4 trip!
      What an amazing and scenic ride through the mountains and fincas surrounding Antigua. This isn't your typical boring excursion activity, but an intense combination of road and trail/mountain riding leading to spectacular views of Guate! The UTV's are powerful and provide enough speed to get the adrenaline pumping. The terrain is steep and required 4x4 even with a pretty dry trail. As we approached the top of the mountain the jungle was thick and the temperature cooled off quickly. Our views were limited since we are here during the rainy season but it was still worth every second of the 4-hour trip! Highly recommend it to those who like to explore!

      Great experience!
      booked this for our family of 6. My parents in their 60's used the utv's, and my wife and 3 year also used the utv. Very safe and they had a blast. Me and brother used the atvs and had a great time. Staff were very courteous, patient and knowledgeable. We had a few stops and took time to take pics. Parts were very dusty but it was part of the experience and if you give the 20 second delay as they recommend between riders its very manageable. Price is totally worth it. Do it!!

      The Hilight of our whole trip to Guatemala
      We ad so much fun riding both in Antigua city and offroad. Our guide was really friendly and proffessional. They know the good spots, the views were just breathtaking. We ad enough free time to walk around and relax when we stopped at different view points and at the hobit village. If you like quads and offroading, it is a must in Antigua! Thanks Antigua Rides for this wonderfull journey!

    Just finished with the Vespa Tour and words do not do this experience justice. Our guide was one of a kind! He was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and took his time answering all our questions. He took so many amazing pictures of us to help document our trip. Getting to explore the villages around Antigua is an absolute must and I wouldn't choose any other company to do it with. Not once did we ever feel unsafe or pushed to do anything we didn't want to do. We will definitely be back for more adventures with them!

    There are few options with this company, I can talk a bit about my experience with them doing the 4x4 scenic tour (something like that "miradores 4X4")
    the tour was fun, being able to drive the 4x4 cars was an awesome experience for me, I'm an adrenaline junkie and was nice, since the tour is relatively new the attention to everyone was superb, they explained along the way how to use the cars properly during different terrain areas which was good for me since it was the first time using the cars and visiting some new trails for me...
    The tour was relax, then fun, then exciting, then really nice views. There was a little break to go to the bathroom; total time of the tour was about 2 hours...
    Tips: bring a buff or a bandana because it gets really dusty (was super fun tho) sunglasses are definitely recommended and if a rainy day it just gets better I can imagine. For direct contact follow them on facebook.
    This company also has its Vespa tour around the outskirts of Antigua, seems like they add the possibility to realize special activities along the ride…
    I must say that the company is very flexible with their tours so its easy to organize different things, they are open to suggestions or they adapt to your needs.
    You can rent Golf carts, vespas, cuads, and the 4x4 polaris cars.

    As we were researching which tours to books, we came across Antigua rides through a youtube video. I looked at their website and saw that they had the vespa tour, but we didn't know how to ride motorcycles, so I ended up messaging them and they were able to accommodate us with the 4x4, doing the same tour (Vespa Macadamia, Wine and Chocolate). We were able to get their contact info and received instructions on when to show up, where to show up, and how to pay.

    Our tour guide Javier was very helpful and informative. We were the only ones during this tour, so Javier was very attentive. He showed us how to operate the UTV, just like a car. We never felt unsafe driving around Antigua and the surrounding towns. Javier stopped along the tour to show us where to take pictures, told us about the volcanos, and even became our chocolate factory guide (since they didn't speak English and the English-speaking guide was not there). He never pressured us into buying anything at the macadamia farm, the chocolate factory, or anywhere else. He answered all our questions with a smile.

    Javier went above and beyond when we were asking for tips around Antigua. We needed a ride back to Guatemala City the next day and Javier was able to schedule one for us. If I can give him more stars, I would. Javier is an excellent tour guide. You'll be lucky to have him as your tour guide.

    Our tips are:
    * try some macadamia nuts at the farm.
    * If you have more time in Antigua, book a massage at Valhalla Macadamia Farm.
    * buy more chocolate at the factory (because everywhere else was more expensive)
    * wear hiking shoes (or shoes you don't mind getting dirty) for this tour
    * take lots of pictures
