Great experience with a true local! We are quite experienced hikers but didnt know how we would have handled the altitude. With a smooth pace we managed to hike from 3900 to 4500m with a beautiful view, despite the cloudy weather. Aaron shared a lot of interesting information with us, I would definitely recommend!

Really good experience hiking with Ariel. A difficult home for some no doubt due to the altitude - we found it tough at times, but worth the effort.
Spectacular views.
Hosts provided drinks etc that weren’t expected. Very pleased with this experience overall

The guide was very knowledgeable, adapted the pace to the fact that we are not acclimatized to the altitude. Extra care for safety was taken.
Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thank you for your comment, we hope to see you back soon.
Best regards from Ariel and the Unlimited Team

I had the best guide from Unlimited Experiences. He is a mountain hiker & has been on this hike many times. He knew the route for getting to the park & came equipped with extra gear in case I needed it. I did use the helmet. He was very knowledgeable about the area, geological info of the volcano & climate. I couldn’t have asked for a better time. He helped me acheive my goal to reach Portillo 1 & we did it before the rain storm arrived. Highly recommend this tour company & Ariel as a guide. Hope to be able to so this again.

See you soon!

This was my first experience with Viator and it was extremely positive! Communication was great before and during our trip. Itza Popo National Park is gorgeous and extremely special. Our guide gave us so much information that helped us with knowledge and appreciation of the park, the surrounding locals, Puebla and Mexico. Note that for this tour, our guide didn't take us to the top of Itza or Popo, that would not be possible in a day trip. For those interested in this hike, make sure you are in good shape and have adjusted to the elevation. Overall, I would do this as again!

Beautiful hike and best extra information by our host. It was exactly what we hoped to get out of the tour and we had very interesting talks with our host Susana about the national park and Puebla area in general.
Response from Host, Nov 2021
Thank you Lars for your amazing review! We are so happy for had lived this experience with you! Warm regards from Susana and all the Unlimited team.

Loved the experience overall! Ariel was a very friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous guide. I felt safe because of his extensive experience hiking the volcano, and the oxygen checks also made me feel safe (he said if my oxygen level went below a certain point we would descend, which didn't happen but it was good to be aware of that.) I have an intermediate fitness level and I felt that the hike was just the right level of challenge, and you can choose how far you climb based on your comfort level.
The only disappointment for me was that I filled out a form to choose a hot beverage which I was told I would receive on the mountain, so I was looking forward to this instant coffee in the morning, but it was not actually provided. Also, I was only given information the day before the tour about the pick-up time (2 hours earlier than listed on my booking) and about all the gear that I would need. It would have been helpful to receive this information more in advance and to have more consistency between what I was told is included and what was actually included (like coffee). However, the experience was overall definitely worth the value.
Response from Host, Jun 2021
Thank you Elise for your comment! We are so happy because you enjoyed the trekking on Iztaccihuatl! Sorry about your coffee missed. It's important that you know all these comments are very important for us. The earlier time for pick up was due to you asked for start earlier and our recommendation at 7 am was to avoid the rain. This is helpful to improve our service. Thank you so much and warm regards from Ariel and all the unlimited team
