For Spring Break, my family of 4 traveled to Antigua, Guatemala. We were lucky to locate ViaGuate as our transportation and tour provider. Hernan, the owner/manager, was very responsive to our needs throughout our travel. Alejandro, one of his tour guides, spoke very good English, provided excellent tour services, and even provided great local recommendations for shops and restaurants. We used ViaGuate for our airport transportation services as well as private tours of Picaya Volcano, Monterrico Beach, Lake Atitlan, and the Iximche ruins. I would highly recommend ViaGuate and all of these tours. Thanks again Hernan and Alejandro for your excellent service!

Located in the middle of the subtropical forest, in the Southeast area of Guatemala, this is one of the easiest-to-climb volcanoes in the country. It will only take us 1 hour and a half to get to its emerald-blueish lagoon in its crater. This short hike will give you a breathtaking scenic route to the top, and when you think it cannot get better... you will feel at peace with the nice humid forest weather of the crater lagoon. If you like swimming, immerse yourself in the ravishing and refreshing waters. Are you ready?

Inclusions: Private transportation, Certified Tour Guide, Entrance fee to Ipala Volcano , Bottled Water, Lunch

Exclusions: Any other activities not metioned, Gratuities

Fabio was fantastic! He was excellent with our last minute change of plans. Things we LOVED in no particular order: -Friendly, punctual, and safe drivers -They followed covid safety practices -Clean and sanitized vehicles -Our tours were private and fully customizable -Good mix of local culture with the lake towns, and nature activities (boating, kayaking & swimming). Literally something for everybody -Guides monitored our safety while doing different excursions -Great guides with good local food and shopping suggestions -They also took amazing pics of us with our personal devices -Definitely would do again!
