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
