I was a great experience. Luis guided us through amazing and beautiful path. I highly recommend taking this tour.
Thank you so much for your recommendation, Alex. We’re very happy you enjoyed the experience and the beautiful trail. It was a pleasure guiding you and sharing this special place together. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another hike in the future.
It was a very exciting experience. The transportation arrived on time, at the meeting point we had chosen in Mexico City. We enjoyed the view and had a lot of fun. The guide explained everything very clearly. I highly recommend it, and it is for sure, we’ll take another tour.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Astrid. We’re happy everything went smoothly from the pickup to the hike, and that you enjoyed the views and had fun along the way. It’s great to hear the explanations were clear and helpful. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you again on another tour in the future.
Hiking tour with fantastic views of volcano and surroundings. Leon and Luís were great. Pick up directly from the hotel. The hike of 12 km (Level 2) is not difficult in itself, but you can notice the altitude! But the guides adjust the pace well when you are out of breath and there are many breaks
Vielen Dank für Ihre nette Bewertung. Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Wanderung und die fantastischen Ausblicke auf den Vulkan und die Umgebung gefallen haben. Schön zu hören, dass Sie sich mit Leon und Luis gut betreut gefühlt haben und das Tempo angenehm war. Die Höhe kann definitiv herausfordernd sein, daher sind regelmäßige Pausen sehr wichtig. Wir freuen uns, dass Sie die Erfahrung genossen haben und hoffen, Sie in Zukunft wieder begrüßen zu dürfen.
We both had an exceptional day of hiking this trail with Luis from Que Loco! Tours. Luis is extremely competent, and had his eyes on all in our small group to measure our comfort and safety. He was also a very nice man, enjoyable to talk to, and we had good conversations about the park, the region, our cultures, etc. I would highly recommend this tour and hike!
Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful review, Melanie. We’re truly happy you had an exceptional day on the trail and felt comfortable and safe throughout the hike. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed not only the scenery but also the conversations and connection along the way. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’re grateful you chose to spend the day exploring with us.
We got essentially a personal driver who drove us to the National Park - he was a very talkative, approachable, and helpful driver. We then met our guide who was also very helpful, talkative, and made sure to check in with us in how we are doing throughout the hike. Absolutely stunning views and few other tourists made it a gem experience.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Kristof.!! We’re really glad you felt well taken care of from the drive to the hike and that both the driver and guide helped make the day comfortable and enjoyable. It’s wonderful to hear you loved the stunning views and the peaceful atmosphere of the park. We truly appreciate you joining the adventure with us.
While staying in Mexivo City we went hiking with Luiz to the Iztaccihuatl. Communication before the trip was perfect, the pickup time was 5.45 to avoid traffic. Luiz had already picked up the other two hikers of our group We drove a bit less than two hours and started to hike in about 3400m. The paths were easy to walk. We walked up to 3900m and felt the altitude a bit in the way that we were breathing a little faster. But Luiz had always an eye that everybody felt well and we never walked to fast. Luiz is an excellent guide with a good mouteenering training and also extremely helpful and friendly. He offered gloves and walking sticks and offered even to carry a small backpack when one of us slowed down a bit once. He has a very good knowledge of flora and fauna. We took enough breakes and were always asked if ready to continue. The hike was a level 2 hike. The trip was lovely, it took us to a waterfall and gave nice views of the smoking Popocatepetl on the opposite side. We highly recommend Luiz as a tourguide and wish him all the best for the future. Thank you for a wonderful day!
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review. We’re very happy to hear that everything went smoothly from the early pickup to the hike itself, and that you felt comfortable and well supported at altitude. It’s great to know you enjoyed the pace, the breaks, and the scenery, especially the waterfall and the views of Popocatépetl. Your kind words truly mean a lot to us, and we’re grateful you chose to spend the day exploring with us. We wish you many more wonderful adventures ahead.
Amazing experience. Very friendly and knowledgeable guides. The hike is absolutely gorgeous! Highly recommend to all

Hello Fen! We're so glad you had a great experience in the Izta Hike level 1! Thank you for the positive review. We appreciate you highlighting our guide and driver's expertise, especially for beginner hikers. It's fantastic that you enjoyed the views and found the 4-hour hike to be just right. We hope to see you again soon!
Hiking part was good. The hiking guide was very professional. The driver miscommunicated with the guide and led us to the wrong path. Could be better.
Hello Paul! Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the hike and that our guide’s professionalism stood out. We sincerely apologize for the miscommunication with the driver. On that day the Izta Popo parking lot was closed because a sudden fire in a small area and the cars had to take other ways. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll work to ensure better experience to avoid this in the future. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience next time.
