We had a fabulous tour with Old Town Outfitters of Pacaya volcano. It was a great hike to get us warmed up for the overnight Acatenango hike the following day. The scenery is gorgeous and we really enjoyed learning about different plants along the way. The guides are so friendly and knowledgeable and took great care of us. We loved the unique experience of roasting (steaming) marshmallows in a dried lava field and having lunch with a fabulous view. Highly recommend this tour and Old Town Outfitters for any other tours you’re interested in! They’re excellent.

One of the best tours I ever had was the overnight tour trek to acatenango volcano! Old townfitters were really good. Bini is very knowledgeable and made great meal at the base camp! Highly highly recommend them over other operators that charge less but also provide a very mediocre experience. What I also loved is they respect nature and ensured we’d didn’t pollute with plastic bottles and stuff. So total respect. They are premium and rightfully are amazing!

Had an amazing time doing the Acatenango Volcano overnight stay and even hiked over to Fuego as well. The whole trip was well organized and Rudy (our guide) made the biggest difference — he was friendly, thoughtful, and fun to hang out with. He also prepared delicious meals for us! We got to see some amazing views of Fuego from the base camp. The tents for the stay were spacious and the pads and sleeping bags provided were extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend doing this trek with Old Town Outfitters!

What an amazing experience! My partner and I did the Lake Atitlán Kayak & Hike Day Trip with Vini, who was an amazing guide! He was super friendly, fun, positive, knowledgeable, professional, and accommodating. Honestly, he was possibly the best tour guide I have ever had. And T=the activities we did with him were super fun and physically challenging (in a good way) for occasional hikers like us. Antonio, the driver, was also great. Overall, I would absolutely recommend going on an adventure via Old Town Outfitters (and ask for Vini)!!

Excellent visit to the Acatenanco Volcano (stay overnight). This is an excellent activity that involves walking through beatiful Guatemala landscapes. Our guide was excellent and did a great job not only in the preparation of the activity itself, transportation, cooking, guiding, telling us interesting volcanos facts, etc, but also to take us to the summit in a safe way. I strongly recommend Old Town Outfitters. Personnel is very friendly, reliable and helpful. I did not have enough clothes for the trip, and they kindly provided me at no extra charge a jacket and gloves. Making this trip enjoying such nice landsacpes and enviroment, is a life-time experience. Thank You for everything.

The most memorable 2 nights of our 3 week tour through Central America! Diana our guide was incredible from start to finish. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and so very helpful throughout our stay! Magical experience that included a sunrise and sunset hike, wonderful accommodations, and really good meals! I would highly recommend this adventure to anybody attempting to witness an active volcano at 3,000 meters! Thank you Old Town, we will surely be back!

I went with Old Town Outfitters for the Pacaya Day hike and it was incredible. Our guide, Christa, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel very safe and comfortable throughout the hike. Would highly recommend!!! the views were incredible and the hike was a blast! For lunch she prepared a delicious spread, which included her amazing homemade guacamole.

Old Town Outfitters was the best tour to book for the Acatenango volcano tour. I booked them as a referral from a few friends that had gone with them earlier this year and it was the best decision for my trip to Guatemala. Their office was extremely easy to work with and having a shop in Antigua really came in handy. I had made a booking error when I originally reserved but their receptionist Tamy was extremely supportive and helpful in making sure I took the right trip. It was also nice being able to purchase some items I missed in packing from them directly. My guide Luis was extremely knowledgable about the volcano and showed us areas that other tour groups weren't privy to. He made great meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and even made sure we had a secluded and scenic area to enjoy our lunch. Other tour groups tend to be 30-60 people and as a group that's capped off at 8 he knew exactly where to take us to avoid these rowdy groups and enjoy the scenery around. He took some of the best photos of me that I'd gotten my entire trip. Last their camp is unmatched. There were few other camps in groups I had talked to that had such a straight on view of the volcano. All of the equipment was grade A and made for a comfortable experience despite camping and going through so much physical activity leading into the night. Book with them you won't regret it.

Old Town Outfitters planned a week-long vacation with our family of 6 - me, my husband, and our 4 kids ages 11-15. We explored Antigua, took a day-trip to the Mayan ruins at Iximche, toured the towns surrounding Antigua, but the highlight for our family was a hike up Pacaya. OTO took care of transportation and provided us with the best guides - very knowledgeable, very friendly, and part of the family by the end of the week. We made the best family memories, thank you Old Town Outfitters!

Christa was amazing as our guide and our entire family enjoyed this hike! Especially our son who didn't hike at all but rode a horse which he thought was the greatest. We got to roast marshmallows using the heat from the volcano and volcanic rock enclosures which was really cool and Christa made us a fabulous picnic to enjoy before descending back down!

I first booked with Old Town in 2014 for a trip to Tikal which was spectacular. I decided to go through them again for a tailored tour of Lake Atitlan (not listed on the offerings). The van arrived 5 minutes early and the rest of the day was pretty magical. We had Diana as the guide for part of the group that went to San Juan de la Laguna, and Josias for the others that did kayaking and hiking. Each couldn’t have been better - both guides were very attentive to adjusting the pace if needed and helping translate. They explained each important aspect along the respective tours, from the names of native plants to the history behind landmarks to the art of hand weaving clothing and tapestries. After ironing out details of the tour (which again they customized), all we had to do was make sure we showed up ready to go; the rest was taken care of

Chris and the team at Old Town helped me plan a Guatemala trip to remember! My son and I did an overnight volcano tour. It was amazing! Watching Fuego volcano explode was one of the most magical things I’ve ever seen. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and lots of fun to be around. He also took great care of us in camp. The meals he made and snacks he provided were all delicious! Chris and old town also arranged for us to go to Tikal and see the ruins. OTO took care of airfare, tour guides, and transfers. A spectacular way to end our time in Guatemala. I highly recommend OTO!

I did the Acatenango overnight hike with Old Town. It was good and nothing was wrong but my tent was not great and the food was not great. Old Town cost a lot more then others so I thought it would be better. I also booked an English speaking guide and my guide was LOVELY but did not speak English very well.

My husband and I did a three day bike, hike and kayak tour. It was supposed to be private but two people were added a week before the trip began. No reduced cost to us. We booked 4 months previous. Itinerary was not at all as described. Easy Mtn biking was going to be no Mtn biking at all or expert level. The couple who joined especially wanted Mtn biking so we did expert trail. Guide fell and broke ribs. Best hotel on Lake Atitlan, Casa del Mundo had been the intended place but no more room with the added couple so changed to second rate hotel. We were informed the night before we left that the included shuttle transport from Antigua hotel to airport for 10:30 am flight would no longer be 5:00 am departure ( 5 hrs to allow for horrendous traffic) but at 3:00 am. We were told needed to be because of traffic but learned it was because chauffeur had another job after drop off. Sebastian, the Outfitter’s contact person, had been helpful with booking but after that unreliable, incorrect information and not helpful. He was the one planning this ridiculous time for shuttle and would not find an alternative. We set up taxi on our own at 5:00 and arrived at 8:00. I do not recommend using this company.

Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the landscape and volcano. It was nice to be in a small group of only 4 people. Would definitely recommend! -1 star because one of the other participants in the group was quite slow and they probably should have encouraged her to use a horse so that we wouldn't be late getting back to town. However this isn't completely the tour guides fault and hopefully when you go you'll have better luck!!
