The tour was great! Clear meeting place, we left on time. I am only giving 4 stars because it was advertised as an English tour, but the guides spoke very little English so there was no history or fun facts. The group was also quite large at 24 people, so there was a LOT of waiting for people who go at different paces. Makes sense for the cheaper price, but it was slower than I was expecting. Food was decent, sleeping arrangements were comfortable considering we were in the mountains but we did not get a pillow and it was very cold at night. Dress warm! Overall, I would recommend this tour to budget friendly travelers who speak Spanish.
Must do but might be better company to do it with

The experience itself was a must do while in guatemala but i feel like they are charging way more than if you would go by yourself. The guides didint really wait for us (i had to guide a part of the group in pitch darkness because the guides went too fast without us. They waited for us 30min away, which honestly doesnt feel like they waited at all. One guide also tried to overcharge me for new water after the driver emptied my water by putting my bag on top of the car, even after i told him not to do it. The cabin has no heat and you basically sleep 14 people in a row. I highly recommend doing the hike, but id select another company.

A very good experience and an incredible tour, our accompanying guide was Jonathan a very patient guide who goes to the rhythm of the group, at all times is aware of how you feel, supports you and explains if they have any doubts, likewise motivates and encourages you to follow, a very great guide, super recommended to climb with him. I would climb again as we climbed to the summit of Acatenango by a majority of votes, I would still have to return by the volcano of fire.
It was exhausting but...

It was exhausting but the effort of the tour guide Jose was a good motivator and I think without him I wouldn't have made it hahaha.
Great Acatenango experience.

This hike is not for the faint of heart. The hike to base camp is very difficult. It took my group and I 4 hours, but the range is 4-6 hours. Once we reached base camp, we had a 1.5 hour break before we geared up again to hike up Fuego for the sunset (~1.5 hours each direction). The next morning we woke up at 3:30am to hike up the rest of Acantenango (~1.5 hours). The top of each volcano is very cold but the views are worth it! The tour goes through Brothers Expeditions and they were great the entire trip! Try to request Hector! I had a small group, just 4 of us total, but most tours seemed to have 20-30 people.
Unforgettable experience

I hiked Fuego and Acatenango with my friend with Brothers expeditions. Go on a week day, it’s crowded on the weekend. There was no running water at our cabin which isn’t a big deal.It’s hit and miss as to whether or not you’ll see the volcano while it’s active. The views were great (when there wasn’t people in the way). Also make sure you are properly prepared with a couple jackets, headlamp and water. I had to rent a headlamp for the price of a new one.
An experience of a lifetime!

The tour was awesome. We went with Soy Tours. They arranged everything that. we needed for the tour. The cabins were comfortable, but cold as you expct in the wilderness. The tour guides were awesome and very helpful. We were a bit slow to hike, but they adjusted the spped and accommodated our pace. Most of all, the lava flow views were unmatchable. Once in a lifetime experience. The topilets were clean as far as you can accommodate in the wilderness. Overall wonderful experience with the guides and tour company. Will definitely recommend Soy Tours for this.
