The Best Acatenango Tour Company for You
Acatenango tour companies side by side: price, what each includes, the guide's language, the bed at camp, whether the entrance fee is paid, the cancellation terms and what reviews say.
Every Acatenango tour here takes you to a camp facing Fuego and up to the same summit, so the company you pick decides the things around the walk: the guide’s language, the size of the group, the bed at camp, the food, and what you pay on top. For most people the best value is Volcano Expeditions’ From Antigua: 2-Day Acatenango Volcano Hiking Adventure, from US$57 a person (checked November 2026), with pickup, three meals and warm clothes lent. Pay more for a guide who speaks English, a group of six, the entrance fee included or a bed in a glamping tent.
The calendar shows Volcano Expeditions’ price for the date you pick. You can reserve now, pay later and cancel free until 24 hours before.
CONRED restricted the ascent of Acatenango on 4 August 2026, during Fuego’s eruption; operators were selling dates in November 2026 when we checked. Check CONRED and INGUAT before you go.

Guide language
Check the language line before you book: it comes up often in the complaints. On Volcano Expeditions' hike the guide is Spanish-speaking. Tours & Activities SA's tour has a guide in Spanish and English, and on the 20 January date we read its booking page showed an English guide. Acatenango Experience VIP's small group has English and Spanish, but one of its 19 reviews (9 June 2026) says the group booked for an English-speaking guide and got a Spanish-speaking one. The last five hikes in the table give no guide language.
What the newest reviews say
We read the 350 newest GetYourGuide reviews of the two biggest sellers:
- Volcano Expeditions, 8 May to 7 November 2026: 53 of 350 give three stars or fewer. The complaints that come up most are about the guides, the camp (crowded, cold), the size of the group and too little food.
- Tours & Activities SA, 4 March to 5 November 2026: 49 of 350 give three stars or fewer, about the camp (a freezing cabin), the guides and the food; one of October 2026 says the extra cost of the Fuego trip was not made clear.
The smaller operators have far fewer reviews: Acatenango Experience VIP 19 and Silverbacks Experiences 9 on GetYourGuide. Brothers Expeditions has 4.8 from 505 reviews and CA Travelers 4.8 from 333 reviews (checked November 2026), Viator and Tripadvisor reviews combined.
The bed at camp
The tours differ most at night: a sleeping bag and mat on Volcano Expeditions' hike, an A-frame cabin on Tours & Activities SA's, a four-person cabin on CA Travelers', and glamping tents on Silverbacks Experiences' and Trek Guatemala's. acatenangovolcanoovernighttour.com compares the beds in detail: shared cabins, A-frame cabins and glamping tents.
What every tour leaves to you
Whichever you book, the walk is yours to do: how hard is the Acatenango hike covers the effort and the packing list the kit. Several listings also sell an extra trip to Fuego, priced separately. Where it goes is not stated, and CONRED said on 9 August 2026 that the ascent of Fuego is not authorized.
