  • Ancient temple ruins with vibrant foliage above.

  • It's not just bussing up to tourist sites to take pictures and it's way more immersive than staying at a resort.

  • G

    Gail

    Asked on June 27th, 2024

    is it possible to join this tour half way from Planeque or San Cristobal?

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2024

      Yes, it is definitely possible to join the tour part way through, however there would be no discount or reduction in price as it would be seen as a forfeit of the services. You would also be responsible for meeting up with the group on your own and at your own expense.

    • G

      Gail

      Traveler•Written June 2024

      is it possible to get a single supplement at least? I'm skipping almost 50% of the tour :)

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2024

      This departure date of July 7 is showing the single supplements as sold out, this is something we'd need to request with our local office once you proceed with a booking.

    Georgia

    Asked on November 23rd, 2023

    If I book the Mayan trail tour do I have to do the home stay? Can I stay in a hotel in Panajachel and wait until the next day and meet up with the tour group to go to Antigua.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2023

      It is possible for you to book your own accommodation for that night and stay in a separate hotel, but it would be up to you to rejoin the group the next morning and at your extra expense. The homestay will be in the community of San Juan La Laguna, so you would also need to stay here.

    • G

      Georgia

      Traveler•Written November 2023

      Is the group coming back off the boat from the same place they leave from? Where is it we would need to meet the group?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2023

      If you wanted to leave the group for a night this is something we would request when you were holding a space (before booking you can hold a space for 48hrs) to check on logistics.

  • J

    Jonathan

    Asked on November 22nd, 2023

    I am a solo female traveler, so my question and concern is about food. Where can I eat? I don't like going alone in restaurants, or just wasting travel time looking for breakfast, lunch, dinner.

    Meals
    Travel Support
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2023

      Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip.
