OMG. What an amazing trip! The sights, sounds, culture and people. Truly an incredible experience. My time travelling through Mexico, Guatemala and Belize was something I will never forget. So many wodnedul experiences. Some that just blow your mind. So much to bring back home and share with my family and friends. Highly recommend this trip. The professionalism shown by our Tour Manager Abraham, made the trip so much more relaxing and comfortable. His knowledge, confidence and patience when required, ensured our entire month long trip went off without any problems. I, as many, feel he went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt welcome and all interests and opinions were considered and catered for. Would highly recommend Abraham for future tours through Latin America. Show more

I had an amazing time at the latin legends tour and it was the tour guide Abes who made it happen! He took us out stayed out with us became friends and interacted with us all as well as telling us his recommendations of were and what to do on our free time. He made sure we were all well and happy thru mexico, Belize and Guatemala. It was nice to have a local guide who was also a friend. I would definitely recommend going thru Mexico with abes and the whole trip was a blast in general! Show more

The trip was certainly not what I expected. Usually solo travelers book tours because everything is organised and you have a tour guide that will ensure things run smoothly and according to plan. Unfortunately, in Contiki’s instance, the tour guide for my tour in Mexico, Belize & Guatemala was the downfall of my entire holiday. I went away for a total of 7 weeks, and this Contiki tour was my longest, and worst part of my holiday. I met a few great people along the way, but the disorganisation, the rude tour guide, the accommodation and the recommended optionals are absolutely not value for money. Spending almost $6,000AUD in Central America for 18 days, I was expecting some luxurious holiday at the best of the best, but checking into rooms with scorpions (yes, actual scorpions, plural) and mostly mosquito-ridden and broken air conditioning is far from unpleasant. Would I recommend this tour to my friends and family? Absolutely not. In fact After my other 2 tours in Cuba & Colombia were so unbelievably brilliant, I’m tempted to write the first complaint letter of my life to Contiki. Save your money, do a different tour.Show more
