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.

Emilliano was an amazing tour leader. He was full of energy, and continually maintained the vibe of the whole group. He was able to interact with the wider group but also made time to connect with individual members. He was really informed about all the locations history/ cultures. He really encouraged me to try new things and supported me through my scuba diving fears. Emi really made the trip for me! He made everything easy and I would love to book a trip with him again.

The organization, communication and information are very good. There would have been a good choice of accommodation, even for a surcharge. The last one is particularly substandard. It was a great experience.

What are the must-visit archaeological sites in Guatemala and Mexico?
Ancient Maya sites dot the landscapes of both countries with their most significant ruins drawing visitors year-round. In Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula Chichen Itza stands as the crown jewel while Guatemala's Tikal emerges dramatically from dense jungle. The seaside ruins of Tulum offer a unique coastal perspective of Maya architecture while Palenque's Temple of Inscriptions houses the remarkable tomb of King Pakal. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Chichen Itza and Tikal were incredible highlights - the guides brought the ancient history to life and seeing these pyramids rising from the jungle was breathtaking."
What type of accommodation can I expect on tours in Guatemala and Mexico?
The accommodation landscape spans from city-center hotels to remote eco-lodges. Playa del Carmen features properties like the Koox Downtown Family Boutique while Antigua offers colonial-style stays at Villa Esthella. More adventurous locations such as Lanquin Guatemala provide ecological retreats at places like El Retiro Lodge. A TourRadar reviewer shares: "The accommodations were generally good quality though some places like in San Ignacio were more basic but still comfortable."
What is the local cuisine like in Guatemala and Mexico?
Each country presents distinct culinary identities that reflect their regional heritage. Mexican dishes vary from street-corner tacos to complex mole sauces with coastal areas like Playa del Carmen specializing in seafood. Guatemalan kitchens serve hearty dishes such as chiles rellenos and pepian while traditional Maya recipes flourish around Lake Atitlan. According to a TourRadar traveler: "The food scene in both countries was incredible - from street tacos in Mexico to home-cooked meals in Guatemala's Maya villages."
What cultural experiences shouldn't I miss in Guatemala and Mexico?
Key cultural encounters include visits to Maya villages like San Juan Chamula near San Cristobal exploration of colonial architecture in Antigua and Merida and time spent at traditional markets such as Chichicastenango. Local accommodations including Hotel Villa Santa Catarina near Lake Atitlan connect visitors with community experiences. One TourRadar traveler noted: "The homestay experience near Lake Atitlan and visiting indigenous communities were unforgettable cultural experiences."
How difficult is it to travel between Guatemala and Mexico?
Border crossings between the two countries require proper planning but organized tours handle these transitions efficiently. The common route from Flores Guatemala to Palenque Mexico takes about 5-6 hours by private transport. Border fees range from 1-30 USD depending on location. A TourRadar traveler reports: "The border crossings were well-organized by our guide who helped with all the paperwork and made the process much easier."
How much spending money should I budget per day for Guatemala and Mexico?
Daily expenses average 50-70 USD covering meals activities and personal needs. Local restaurants serve meals for 5-15 USD while tourist-oriented establishments charge 15-30 USD. Popular activities like snorkeling in Caye Caulker or hiking volcanoes near Antigua cost between 40-80 USD. Many venues especially in smaller towns operate on cash only accepting both USD and local currency.
