    Reply from: Intrepid Travel
    Hi Victoria, thank you for your feedback following your time in Central America. While the subject of value varies greatly for each person, we do our best to set expectations ahead of tour purchase- and time away- with outlining the inclusions for our tours in our online landing pages. We are sorry to read of your issues with integrating with a group that had been travelling together prior to you joining, and our guides do their best to make every effort for group cohesion when new members join. We will be sure to share this feedback with your guide, and we thank you for that critique. Travellers might find activities that cost less in country, those offered by Intrepid are required to meet our strict safety standards and can be more expensive due to training and on-hand services (oxygen machines, the use of satelite phones, life jacket adherences/quality, etc). We welcome the opportunity to discuss this further with you should you care to. Just reach out to our team, and stay well in the meantime. Thanks again.

    Is there the chance to have solo room? How much should I pay extra?

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten November 2024

      A single supplement is available if you'd prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement excludes Days 2 & 3 (Tulum), Days 10 & 11 (Rio Dulce) and Days 13 & 14 (Lake Atitlan) where you will be in shared accommodation and is subject to availability. If you wanted to add the single supplement to your booking the additional cost would be €655.

    Asked on March 4th, 2023

    Please describe in more detail what is meant by "multishared hotel" and multishared lodge."

    Accommodation
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten March 2023

      Multishare accommodation is a bed in a Community Room with other travellers. You'll receive a twin-size bed or bunk bed and access to a shared bathroom. Multishare typically includes triple and quad rooms. You may be required to share with group members of the opposite sex and couples, and people travelling together may occasionally be separated due to rooming configurations.

  • N

    Neil

    Asked on January 9th, 2023

    I was wondering if you can join a tour a few days in for a reduced amount? My son is currently in Mexico travelling but unfortunately his friend wants to go home. We are looking for some sort of tour that he might join but he has already spent time in Playa del Carmen and Tulum but is interested in going to other destinations on an organised trip.

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten January 2023

      Yes, we do reduce the price of some trips before departure. Sadly, the trip you have chosen is already closed for booking. All of our tours close for booking 7 days prior and are "On Request Only" before that. For a full list of our "Last Minute Deals" please see the tab of the same name above.
