I requested an English tour guide and we got an illiterate Spanish child as our tour guide. The food was bad and the accommodation on the summit is just a straight shack. Of course he was kind and the family was nice, but the conditions were very unsanitary and we weren’t comfortable in the clothing they provided.

Unfortunately, my experience was not the best. The only person in the group who did not speak Spanish was myself (my friend turned back). When I enquired over WhatsApp if the guide spoke English, they replied that the guide did, but the bus driver did not. However, communication was challenging because nobody spoke English at all. We weren't picked up by a bus either. They kept calling it a bus, but it was actually a taxi driver. When I inquired for trekking poles, they replied 100Q on WhatsApp, but when we arrived, it was 150Q. Overall would not recommend.
Stunning views, a truly memorable experience

Amazing trip. It was actually my first overnight camping/hiking experience and the guides did a great job accommodating everyone's needs in the group. Views are stunning. The hike is no joke, but there are options to ride a horse up if needed. Loved that gear such as hiking sticks and coats were available as well.
Excellent experience with some very good guides

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip! The guides did an excellent job of balancing the movement of our group. They were intentional in giving us necessary breaks while not allowing us to overstay such breaks. They were also conscious of the various degrees of experience and physical abilities of each group member, often being encouraging versus being harsh or leaving group members behind behind like I've heard other guides with other companies do. The meals provided were more than sufficient and base camp was more than acceptable, particularly after a long hike up the volcano. Finally, the early morning hike up the summit was well worth it! I would highly recommend this particular company and guides to lead you up and down from the volcano!
Excellent guides for a worthwhile experience

The guides were amazing on this tour. The hike is very difficult for inexperienced hikers but the tour guides helped out tremendously for those struggling to finish. The accommodations were what you would expect for sleeping at the top of a mountain. I would highly recommend this company for the tour! The hike (while difficult) is extremely worth it. Make sure you rent the poles!
Unmissable for adventurers!

Climbing the Acatenango Volcano is a challenging but completely rewarding experience. The hike requires physical endurance, with steep slopes and changing weather, but the views from the top, especially at sunrise and the Volcano of Fire, are spectacular. I recommend wearing warm clothes, proper footwear, moisturizers and energy snacks to maintain energy. Although difficult, the reward is worth every step: an unforgettable natural spectacle. Unfortunately I went in rainy season and did not see a rash, I recommend it 1000%

Hiking the Acatenango Volcano is an exhilarating and awe-inspiring experience. The challenge of reaching the summit is rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and the active Fuego Volcano in the distance. It’s an adventure that pushes your limits, fills you with adrenaline, and leaves you speechless in the face of nature’s power and beauty
Let's give it a try!

Definitely a must-do if you’re staying in Guatemala. WARNING: this is not a leisurely hike. If you are an inexperienced hiker or not in good health, this might be quite challenging. Several people in groups had to turn back due to the intensity of the hike. Pack extra socks as it might rain. Water proof everything! Extra portable chargers. Otherwise, best tour ever!
Wonderful experience
