Totally five star in every way. The whaleshark encounter was mind blowing and really was a once in a lifetime chance to enjoy seeing such amazing animals up close. Relaxing totally on a hammock on the jetty at Lake Bacalar as there was no reason to be doing anything else. read more

Boat trip on Atitlan Lake to San Juan, all the beautiful buildings in Grenada. Mombacho volcano hike where we saw 3 sloths in their natural habitat were the highlights.read more

Overall fabulous but as much to do with Luz our guide and the rest of the group than the trip itself. All fabulous but the time in the forests of Tikal and the Volcano tours the best.read more

The inspiration for this trip was my previous adventure in 1971 when I worked on the raw jungle site of a prospective archaeological dig in Guatemala. You folks pulled this really bespoke itinerary off for us beautifully.read more

I really enjoyed the day at Semuc Champey and we basically had the Mayan site of Yaxha to ourselves with our personal archaeologist making that experience very intimate and special.read more

Some great moments, but I was left with a feeling that the operator are cutting costs.read more

It was having the opportunity to really get to know Guatemala and the Mayan people and their culture via a very knowledgeable guide. I had expected visits but we saw extra things too that were not expected on the itinerary. Amazing experiences.read more

Fantastic. Cesar was excellent as the main guide and local guides were top notch. Learned a lot and saw a lot. Sloth close up, volcano hike, rafting, beautiful scenery on the road trip, and great traveling companions. read more

Waking up on the first morning and seeing a volcano outside the window. Rio Dulce area and the journey down the gorge to the Carribbean. The journey down the river to Las Guayacamas surrounded by thousands of yellow butterflies... Brilliant. Loved every minute of it and would love to return.read more

Exploring the Mayan sites and in particular watching the sun set from atop one of the restored temples at Yahxá, quite magical... It was an amazing experience, a fascinating insight into a beautiful country.read more

Hard to improve on it really, but that was mainly down to Jessica, our wonderful tour guideread more

It was all pretty amazing to be honest - different countries, different cultures, different foods - so much crammed into a relatively short space of time. Info about currencies and tipping would have been handy to know well in advance.read more

A good view of ancient cultural sites. read more

A good tour leader who was knowledgeable about all the places we visited read more

Two of the days in north Guatemala with some interesting natural history. Tikal was a good visit, and the Shaman and weaving demonstrations interestingread more

The most memorable part was seeing the inside of a volcano at night and the lava bubbling away or running (mostly walking) down the side of another volcano or zip lining through the Costa Rican jungle.read more

We visited local artisans, coffee co-operatives, and a local Mayan community in Tikal. Some of the activities were 100% eco-tourism that directly supported efforts to preserve forests etc... Probably one of the most memorable holidays we have done.read more

Overall, a very good holiday. read more

The visit to Tikal was the most memorable... The experience of living together with a Mayan family in Guatemala was amazing.read more

Snorkelling in Caye Caulker, Belize, was an amazing experience! Nurse sharks, stingrays and turtles, not to mention oodles of brightly coloured fish, seemed completely oblivious to our presence, and Hol Chan Marine Reserve, with its dazzling array of corals and fish, was stunning...read more

Snorkelling in a coral reef amongst nurse sharks and other amazing sea life was an experience that we will never forget.read more
