About Antigua
Antigua is a beautiful, cute little colonial town, surround by volcanos. There are many nice options for great food, tasty drinks and other ways to entertain oneself. But you find nice food and drinks almost everywhere in the world and there is soooo much more to see in and around Antigua. Let’s start with volcano and lava. Yes, REAL lava! There is an abundance. Further, what about chocolate, coffee and artisan craftwork?! From cheap markets to designer shops. There is so much culture in this special country where over 20 Mayan languages are spoken. The colonial town of Antigua is full of old ruins, beautiful churches and lot’s of cute courtyards to enjoy a local coffee or beer. Then, adrenaline, from great hiking adventures to beautiful mountainbike rides, from thrilling quad bike rides to parapenting or helicopter rides. Did I already mention you can see real lava?! As you can see, you won’t get bored over here. The biggest risk is that you don’t wanna leave this wonderful place. Enjoy!
tours to do around Antigua
There are many things to do in Antigua, all for a different kind of budget. Then there are shared tours and private tours, which also influence the prices. Over the past years we have selected the best operators, guides and locations for our clients. So don’t worry, you are in good hands.
Group size:
The cost of a tour varies. It really depends on how many people join. The best / easiest is to everything together with the main group, which will result in the best price. But of course breaking up in smaller groups is also possible! The bigger the group, the more affordable it is to make the tour privately. We recommend to go with minimum 3/4 persons, but of course 1 or 2 is possible as well.
Shared versus private tours:
There are many shared tours in Guatemala with really different kinds of quality. Some are excellent, but many are not so good. We only offer shared tours with good quality. But we prefer to offer private quality tours where the guide and driver can have 100% focus on our clients and where the tour can be customised at any moment based on the desires of the client.

REservation & payment
With regard to reservations & payment, the sooner you can make them, the better. Guatemala is still an undiscovered, pure and undeveloped country. In order to book the best guides, tours or other things with limited capacity, it’s better to reserve in time, so you don’t have the risk of things not being available during your trip to Guatemala.
Also, with regard to the payment, it might take a few days before the money gets to Guatemala. So please make sure you pay in time, because we cannot make any reservations without payment.
Further, the bank fees and transaction fees are excluded and will be added to the total. Depending on how and when you pay, these can add up quite a bit. But if you pay in time, it should not be too high.
