    Amazing Adventure

    Haven’t been on motorcycles for years but Lester (and assistant) were extremely patient with us and got us up to par! If you’re the least bit hesitant booking this trip, pull the trigger! It was so amazing and so much fun. Great way to see different areas around Antigua. We enjoyed seeing the weaving co-op, jade crafters, cocoa and liquor artisans and topping off the trip to Hobbitanango!! Far exceeded our expectations. Thank you!!!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're thrilled to hear that your tour exceeded your expectations. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Lester and Roaldo —they'll be delighted to know their patience and encouragement helped make you feel comfortable and confident on the ATVs. It's wonderful that you enjoyed visiting the weaving cooperative, jade workshop, cocoa and liquor artisans, and, of course, Hobbitenango! Thank you for trusting us with your adventure and for recommending the tour to future travelers. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in Guatemala.

    Interesting and varied

    Alex was a great guide. Friendly, he brought us to see beautiful views and attractions. We learned a lot -also through the textile, jade and chocolate workplaces- and had fun driving a 250cc motorcycle in Guatemala. Our tour was somewhat different from what Tripadvisor states, maybe because we booked straight through the tour company due to Tripadvisor not having the option for driver+passenger.

    Response from the operator: Hello! Thanks for the recommendation and review, We appreciate you choosing us to do a completely different tour that isnt on atv , the adrenaline was higher, but safety and care were always maintained, Our guide Alex took you to small towns around Antigua such as Ciudad Vieja and San Juan del Obispo where you learned about the history and culture of local products like textiles, premiun jade, and artisanal chocolate

    Motorcycle riding in Antigua

    I really enjoyed this tour! I only have dirt bike riding experience so being on city streets was a little nerve racking at first but it ended up being fine. Our guide was really cool and I enjoyed the places we visited though most are tourist traps to have you buy stuff - no big deal. Ending at Hobbitenango was a lot of fun. I wouldn't hesitate to do the tour again.

    Response from the operator: Hello! Thanks for the recommendation and review, We are more than happy that you chose us for your Motorcycle tour a unique experience where our guide ensured you discovered new places with incredible views and enjoyed the entire journey, We hope you visit us again very soon!

    AMAZING way to see the most of Antigua!! EMPOWERING!!!

    WOW! This motorcycle tour allowed us to see the small regions/villages outside of Antigua. Quick and efficient, the tour company took us to the garage with the motorcycles and ATVs. We got a short lesson and were off following our AMAZING guide LESTER <3! We stopped at a women's textile co-op, a chocolate plantation, and got fruit in a small village with special spices from the region! Less gave us awesome facts and inside info that we would have NEVER known. We quickly became best friends over lunch overlooking Antigua from the mountains - we were not rushed at any stop and got help from Less ANYTIME we needed it. Our highlight was the HobbiTenengo spot where I learned the locals actually attend concerts here - it isn't just for nerds like me! The property was much bigger than we expected with so much to do and take photos of. Amazing drinks and food served as well! The final uphill journey to HobbiTenengo can only be accessed by motorcycle by the public, so the ATV tour had to wait for a ride at the bottom while the motorcycles were able to navigate the intimidating dirt/rock path. It was very scary but EMPOWERING!! and Lester was there to help us and make us feel comfortable with it! Wow am I so excited to say I CONQUERED IT! THANK YOU for the best day and best tour during our time in Guatemala!!! NOTE: the Motorcycle tour is separate from ATV tour because the ATVs don't go as fast so can't hit as many sights/stops :)

    Response from the operator: Many Many thanks for all your kind words ! we are super happy that you had an amazing time with Lester !!!!! i will tell him!!!

    Amazing day tour on motorcycles

    We had an amazing time with Lester riding two-up on some 250cc enduro bikes! He is a cool guy and took us to the base of Pacaya volcano, an artisanal chocolate shop, wine shop, Hobbingtenango, and offered to stop at Cerro de la Cruz, but we had to get back to our hotel. It was an action packed tour!

    Response from the operator: Hello Chris thanks a lot for your nice review! was a great adventure!!

    Antigua Motorcycle Adventure: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antigua.

    How much does Antigua Motorcycle Adventure cost?

    +

    Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Antigua usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Antigua Motorcycle Adventure take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Antigua is not rushed.

    Is Antigua Motorcycle Adventure worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Antigua, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Antigua Motorcycle Adventure?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Antigua Motorcycle Adventure suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Antigua Motorcycle Adventure?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Antigua can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Antigua and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Antigua Motorcycle Adventure start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Antigua within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Antigua?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Antigua experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coffee and Gastronomic Bike Tour in Antigua, Antigua ATV Mountain Adventure, Antigua ATV Sunset Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Antigua?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Antigua?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Antigua Motorcycle Adventure?

    +

    Included: Use of motor bike; Driver/guide; Use of helmet; Local taxes; and Surcharges on fuel. Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); Food and drinks; Gratuities; and No pick up offered, tour starts at our office. 6a avenida norte 60b. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Antigua Motorcycle Adventure?

    +

    We are located on 6 Ave North #60b, we are one block north of the church "La Merced" and 2 blocks from the Santa Catalina Arch Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Antigua Motorcycle Adventure offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Antigua Motorcycle Adventure?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Antigua Motorcycle Adventure wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Antigua Motorcycle Adventure if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Antigua. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Antigua Motorcycle Adventure?

    +
