I just completed the 28 day Epic Central America tour and it was an incredible experience!! This tour has so much diversity in activities from exploring Mayan ruins to walking around colourful towns, snorkelling with sharks and manatees, hiking a volcano. For the first part of the tour we were combined with the Viva Mexico group and were lucky to have Osmar as our amazing group leader to show us around his country. He had so much passion and made everyday together so much fun, my highlights were exploring Oaxaca and Isla Holbox with our group. Even if sometimes the weather wasn’t on our side Osmar always was, he would always make sure we had the best possible experience and was an incredible problem solver. For the second part of the tour our group leader Andrea was incredible throughout the and I am so grateful to her. Everyday felt so smooth and seamless thanks to her amazing organisation, she even made the long drives through Guatamala entertaining. I was sick on the trip and Andrea went to the pharmacy for me and helped me get medicines, and consistently checked up on me. She has so much passion for Mexico and Central America and bringing people together! My highlight of the second half of the trip was definitely Acatenango and watching Fuego erupt with my friends.Show more

The tour was amazing. It filled pretty much all of what I wanted to do while travelling and extra. I felt safe the whole time and our guide Ceci was fabulous. Yes some days are travel days, but they try showing you different things along the way to break the day up but in the end it's well worth it. If you tour Mexico and Central America with Intro and end up with Ceci as your group leader you are in for a treat. She is a special person, because she cares and takes time to get to know everyone. You will feel safe and she will help you fill your free time as best as she can by helping you organise anything you actually want to do!Show more

I had the absolute best trip visiting Mexico and Central America! The Mexico tour has the perfect balance of amazing culture, followed by beautiful beaches and cenotes. In Belize we swam with a range of sea life and enjoyed island life on Caye Caulker. In Guatemala the landscapes were unreal, with some of my highlights being the sunrise hike overlooking Lake Atitlán and watching Fuego erupt! You couldn’t ask for a better group leader than Ceci, she is so passionate, fun and professional. She works so hard to ensure the trip runs as smoothly as possible, and that everyone is having the best time. I had a great first experience of travelling on this trip!Show more
