We are very happy that we were referred to Lee at Los Elementos Adventure Center by our AirBnb host. From the very beginning (even when our trip had to be postponed for a year due to the pandemic), Lee was very responsive, kind and helpful. We ended up spending a day trip going from Panajachel to the Solola market. We also took a short hike and had a picnic in the forest. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and are really thankful that we got to experience the culture and beauty of this area on Market day. What really made this excursion extra memorable and fun was the fantastic guide that we had, a young man by the name of Marce! He was the perfect guide for our family, so adventurous, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to provide a unique day for us. It is such a treat when guides are flexible and open to whatever adventures may present themselves. We would definitely go with Los Elementos again and highly recommend Lee's personalized services and wonderful guides!

Excellent experience! This was one of the best walking tours I’ve been on. Armando was a great guide, who’s very kind and knowledgeable of the area. He made me feel safe and put a lot of care into making sure you have the best possible experience. The amount of things covered throughout the tour is remarkable. I highly recommend this tour if you plan to visit Guatemala City. Thanks again. ☺️

Okay FIRST OF ALL, Salvador is the best guide we’ve had out of four trips here. The hike was either incredibly hard or we were very out of shape ???? but he worked with us to still have an amazing time. We ended up also birdwatching and found many Quetzales. It was a beautiful time. He’s super knowledgeable, very kind, speaks English/Spanish, and even will offer you a raincoat if you tell him ahead of time! :) I would recommend this hike if you’re a cross fitter or really in to long hikes, but if recommended Salvador taking you anywhere whether you are traveling alone as a female, or this is your first time in Guatemala, or you’re in a family with kids, or a business trip, or literally whatever- he’s the guy!! We felt safe and taken care of the entire day. We can’t wait to come back and see more with him next year and the years to come.

We did some research on the various tours to Pacaya Volcano starting from Antigua and are happy we found A Viajar Guatemala. They offered the most affordable private tour. We didn’t want to travel on one of the regular tours which cost less, but all leave either at 6:00am or 2:00pm in order to do two runs on the same day. We preferred to enjoy our hotel breakfast and opted for an 08:30am departure. The driver arrived perfectly on time and we took off immediately without having to pick up passengers from other hotels first. The driver Miguel was very informative and we enjoyed lots of interesting narrative along the way. Also it was nice that he took a different and very scenic route on the return trip so we got to see the terrible devastation of the 2018 eruption of Volcano Fuego. Ronal, our local guide on Pacaya was phenomenal! He took good care of us and we were chatting with him all the way up and down about living in Guatemala and of course many interesting stories surrounding Pacaya and the surrounding nature. We saw several other guides along the way and how they interacted with their groups and Ronal was probably one of the best! So we highly recommend this agency, no need to go to a more expensive outfit. Their office in Antigua staffed by Alexander was very helpful in the preparation of the trip (what to bring, what to expect)

I booked a tour through OX for the morning for a volcano hike. They sent several confirmation emails to be at their store by 5:45 to leave by 6:00. When I arrived the rest of the group was waiting outside on the curb. The OX door was closed and nobody was answering. We all called the "emergency number" and emailed and waited for over an hour. Nothing. We came back when they said they opened online at 9:00 and waited again on the sidewalk. Nothing. Around 10:30 we got messages saying, despite the confirmations, they thought we were leaving at 2:00 PM, not 6:00 AM. They apologized, which I appreciated. But they also said to still attempt the tour we would still all pay full price after all of this waste of time. It didn't feel they made any effort to do right by their customers and didn't care that we had spent half a day trying to track them down for a tour or a refund. We all booked the same tour for 1/3 the price ($20 vs $60) from a hostel and enjoyed it a lot. Would not use OX for anything given our experience.
