Pacaya Volcano Tour FAQ’s

  • What is the difference between private and group tours?

    Private Tours

    • Exclusive Experience: In a private tour, you or your group have exclusive access to the guide and transportation (if included). You have more control over the itinerary, pace, and stops along the way.
    • Personalized Attention: Since the focus is solely on your group, the tour guide can tailor the experience to your interests and preferences. You can ask questions, make special requests, and receive personalized insights.
    • Flexibility: Private tours often offer greater flexibility in terms of timing and itinerary adjustments. You can spend more time at places that interest you and skip those that don't.

    Group Tours

    • Shared Experience: In a shared tour, you join a group of other travelers. The guide and transportation are shared among all participants, which can lead to a more social experience as you interact with fellow travelers.
    • Cost-effective: Shared tours are typically more budget-friendly since the cost is divided among participants. This can be advantageous for solo travelers or small groups looking to save money.
    • Fixed Itinerary: Shared tours usually follow a fixed itinerary with predetermined stops and schedules. There's less room for customization or deviations from the planned route.
