This was my first group trip, but Emiliano really set the bar high for what an excellent tour guide should be! He’s incredibly warm-hearted and genuinely dedicated to making sure everyone has a perfect experience. Emiliano is very considerate of everyone, even though our group was large. He’s also funny, approachable, and easy to talk to. Everything on our trip went so smoothly, which shows his excellent coordination skills! It was truly wonderful to have Emiliano as our guide, and I’d recommend him any day!

Well-organized tour. The hotels, activities and meals included was also very good in general. I would add an extra day in San Ignacio (Belize), especially for those interested in exploring Mayan ruins, and I think it would be interesting if we had the option to start the tour in this country instead of Mexico. I liked Intrepid's approach to reducing ecological impacts and also offering a homestay in Guatemala, contributing to the development of a local community and helping us have a more immersive experience in the country.
