Great experience! Packed a lot in.
Costa Rica Family ExperienceAn incredible trip. The tour was very well organized, and the places we visited were absolutely wonderfull. I especially want to thanks our guide in Guatemala, Víctor, who truly made a difference. As a small point for improvement, some of the hotels in Nicaragua were a bit dirty, but it didn’t take away from how amazing the trip was.
Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador & Nicaragua Adventure -13 DaysMy Central American trip was so good. Freddy, our guide was second to none. His patience, knowledge and humour showed no bounds. Thank you Freddy. The trip was full on and travelling could be tiring but understandable as we were seeing 5 countries in such a short space of time. The majority of accommodations were pretty good. My main disappointment was not having more time in Guatemala at the beginning of the trip. I arrived a day early but it was late. The next day the group didn't meet until 6pm and then we were away to Honduras really early the next morning. I would highly recommend this trip.
