Urvi –
An amazing tour! The food provided by the hostel was really good and filling! Above all, our tour guides Miguel, Josue, Emilio and Manolo were the ones that made the hike a memorable experience for us. They were all so sweet, helpful and hardworking! They have a heart warming good bye speech at the end of our tour that left me in tears. Definitely book with them and ask for these specific tour guides!

We hiked booked the Acatenago tour for 4 people.
Lucas and his team were incredible. Ensured that every body was supported on the tour and provided an excellent service.
Views of fuego were excellent and I’d like to mention again that the guides were outstanding.
