David was an amazing tour guide. They picked us up from our hotel and drove us 1.5 hours from Guatemala city to the base of the volcano. We decided to ride horses up (and were happy we did). The climb is steep but the top is very beautiful. We had pizza cooked under the volcanic rock. There wasn’t any live lava at the time but there was still steam from the rock. Highly recommend. Great experience.

I went on this trip with 2 other people and it was amazing. I know there are MANY hikes available but we absolutely loved this one.
For the TLDR readers; great hike, wonderful guide (ask for Gabriel!); took about 6.5-7hrs of our day (could be longer if you are slow) but we appreciated this; great pizza; beautiful volcano; private tour!
A few things: this trip is private so whoever you book with, you hike with! This was great as it was myself and another work colleague (mid 30s) and a student (22) on the trip.
They were on time picking up from the hotel and we took the ~1/1.5 hr trip to the base of which we would hike. It is a bit of a windy road once you get close to the volcano, but this makes sense as Guatemala has 37 volcanos so all roads need to go around them!
There were toilets there at the base. Then the hike begins and a horse does follow behind in case one person needs it to get up. My colleague did struggle to hike as the altitude made him lightheaded after walking for 10 minutes, so he opted to pay for the horse on the way up (280 quetzal ~$32). The way down is much easier (unless your knees are very very bad as there is looser rock on the way down). My colleague did not need a horse on the way down. Despite being in really good shape, I did find it a bit more tiring as we climbed due to the altitude--but it was very manageable. Take the breaks--which there are many beautiful stopping points and overlooks along the way.
At the top you can see Pacaya and the new petrified rock from the eruption in 2021 and on. Really neat. We took some pictures there then headed down. At the bottom you get up close with the volcanic rock and it is so cool. You feel like you are on another planet. Then you get to the place where the volcano steam (and a bit of coal) helps make pizza. It was delicious! We got 1 pizza for 3 people and it was plenty.
This is not an up and back loop but you start and finish at two different spots--you finish down the mountain some so your driver will be there to pick you up. There are bathrooms at the finish, too, before you head back to your hotel in Guatemala City.
Guat2go is a GREAT company and we learned there are 100 independent tour guides traversing the mountain. You will see many others along the way, but we did not feel crowded at all. Our tour guide, Gabriel, was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend him. My colleagues and I agreed we were super lucky in that he was so knowledge, spoke very good English, and really managed the entire hike/trip so well.
All in all-- I am SO happy we booked this tour. It was such a fun, unique experience!

Amazing experience. The initial accent is difficult but they have horses available which made it much easier! The tour guide himself Walter was such an Amazon person full of knowledge and really connected with us. the pizza is small even for two people. Suggest you talk with the organizers before hand for a larger one
