We recently went on the "Private Hiking Tour to Iztaccihuatl Volcano" this March and had an amazing day! We spent some time both before and after our hike exploring the town of Amecameca ( and trying some delicious food) and hiked for about ~4 hours, which was perfect for our group. The hike was definitely challenging, especially due to the altitude, but doable. I would recommend this excursion to anyone who is interested in doing something outdoorsy while in CDMX! Our guide, Ed, was also amazing. He picked us up and dropped us off from our airbnb and was extremely helpful all day. Loved this!

We booked just the Nevado de Toluca part to hike the volcano. The tour was promptly confirmed and we were picked up by guide and driver in a private car. Our guide Ed was wonderful and knowledgeable- introduced us to some local breakfast of polla and tamales on the journey there. Vibe tours also gave us a little care package with snacks and safety items like sanitizer and masks. Once we reached Toluca- alas the trail was closed due to weather and icy trails. We walked as far up as was allowed and turned back around. Our guide was always cheerful and regaled us with stories - overall still an enjoyable visit. Hopefully we can go up again next time.
