- Nolan· January 12th, 2024Amazing tour ! Every guide was great 👍
Intrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Xiaofeng, thank you so much for your review. We are pleased to know that you had a wonderful time exploring incredible Central America, and we hope to see you along with us again in future. All the best to you, in 2024!Trip date: January 2023 - Zeljko· January 28th, 2019I am now in last week of this tour, and with latest accommodation fiasco in Boquete I've finally had it SHAME ON YOU INTREPID I gave lot of $$$ to Intrepid this winter and horrendous choice of sub-standard rat holes we are forced to spend nights has just about killed every desire to ever travel again. Add brutal local transport, incompetent tour guide on Antigua to San Jose leg, list goes on. I will fill full review once I am back home, but to anyone reading this: There are other travel agencies around. Stay away from Intrepid. SHAME ON YOU INTREPIDShow moreTrip date: January 2019
- Rudolph· March 21st, 2018No breakfasts were included - it would have been sufficient for all if each establishment could offer coffee, toast, butter, jam and a fruit.

- PGPeter· December 13th, 2017Accommodations and transport on the whole were better than expected. The tour I booked on was actually 3 separate tours back to back. Border crossings and charges to cross were 'fluid' with information from Government websites, Intrepid and tour leaders all conflicting making it difficult to trust Intrepid or your leaders and leaving me with the feeling I was being ripped off. Intrepid's management response was less than satisfactory.Show moreTrip date: October 2017
- JJ.C.· June 9th, 2017The trip was better than expected, specially the accommodations. The guides were variable, from excellent to just satisfactory. The coverage was more than satisfactory and the transport provided was mostly good, with a couple of exceptions when we felt unsafe crossing some waters in small boats. We did not like the late start of some trips to the next destination as it left us very little time to enjoy some places. A minimum stay of two full days is ideal for most of the places covered. Overall, I really enjoyed the trip and I won't hesitate to use the same company again.Show moreTrip date: February 2017

Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2024A single supplement is available if you'd prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement excludes Day 9 (Tikal) and Day 14 (San Juan La Laguna homestay), where you will be in shared accommodation and is subject to availability.

Asked on February 21st, 2024Would it be possible to do the tour, hop off at lake Atilan as we would like to do a Spanish course for 3-4 weeks then hop back the same tour that was passing 3-4 weeks later at all?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2024
Unfortunately no, the trip is as per brochure and is not customizable.

Beth
Asked on October 4th, 2023As a German citizen do I need a visa for some of those countries or is everything included by the organizer. So I have to make sure to have a visa for each of these countries
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written October 2023
Visa service is not included in the tour package and obtaining the correct visa for your trip and any countries you may transit through is your responsibility. We recommend you check your visa requirements as soon as you have booked your trip. This will ensure you have time to prepare your documents and for your visa application to be processed.

Beth
Traveler•Written October 2023I have some questions about safety while visiting these countries. Is our safety guaranteed while visiting these countries and did female travelers experience any problems while visiting? What happens if I get robbed? Are we accompanied all the time during the travel? I'd prefer not to be on my own.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written October 2023
Your group leader or local representative will accompany you on all included activities. While travelling there is always the risk of pick-pocketing and petty theft, particularly in more touristy cities. We recommend exercising caution when walking alone at night and encourage you to walk together and only on main, well-lit thoroughfares. Be particularly vigilant on public transport. Simple measures like carrying your day pack on your front, not hanging your bag over the back of your chair or on the floor and wearing a money belt will reduce any chance that your valuables should go missing.

Asked on August 8th, 2022how many people are booked onto this trip already? and what age ranges? also, how many meals are included for this tour?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2022
To save you money and the hassle of booking multiple trips, this journey is a combination of some of our most popular adventures. Your leader and the composition of your group may change with the start of each adventure. I have listed the demographics below for the different sections of the tour: Playa del Carmen to Antigua: 2 travellers, travelling in a pair, in their 30s. Antigua - San Jose: 10 travellers, 2 of which are solo, ages ranging from early 20s to 50s, majority in their 30s. San Jose to Panama City: 1 solo traveller in their 20s. Meals Included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner. To give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat, generally not all meals are included in the trip price. This also gives you more budgeting flexibility. As a rule, our groups tend to eat dinner together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There's no obligation to do this though.

Olga
Asked on July 17th, 2022Is that per day included in price or do I have to buy my own meals?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written July 2022
For this tour there are only 3 meals included in the price. Dinner is included on day 13 with your homestay, along with breakfast the next morning. Lunch is included on day 21 when you experience a local Salvadoran Pupusa cooking demonstration. For this trip we do recommend between 25 to 50USD per day for additional food.

Marilyn
Asked on March 1st, 2022How are you handling unvaccinated travelers who wish to take this trip? Is vaccinated required to take this tour? Or negative PCR will suffice when entering these Central American countries?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written March 2022
All our trips require passengers to be fully vaccinated (unless in rare cases they have a medical exemption). Any entry/exit/visa requirements we recommend checking with the country's embassy/consulate as we are unable to advise, however any PCR testing before entering each country the guide can help arrange (at the passengers own expense) you just have to let them know in advance.

Asked on January 20th, 2022i am looking to book a south america to/from central america trip from mid April for approx 2-3 months but have concerns which order to do it in and whether the weather will be a problem
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written January 2022
April is the last month of dry weather across much of the region of Central America, April sees Mexico's towns and cities warm up, making it a great time to visit the hot and sunny Yucatán Peninsula. Costa Rica, Cuba, Guatemala and Nicaragua are all hot and dry. South America is a little harder to say as you'll be travelling through more than one seasons and the length of the continent of South America can mean very different weather between the top to the bottom.

Jeremy
Asked on January 5th, 2022How much, approximately, would the return flight for this tour cost? And secondly, how much spending money would you recommend for such a long your?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written January 2022
Fantastic choice with that trip! Flight costs would depend on where you're flying from and dates. I've checked for 28th of May until 11th July 2022 and found flights from London Heathrow to Cancun and from Panama City back to London Heathrow for about 600£. For spending money, we recommend between USD 25 to 50 per day. Breakfast might cost USD5 to USD10, lunch USD5 to USD15, and dinner USD12 to USD25 for a main course.

Dawn
Asked on September 1st, 2016Is there a single supplement available on this tour?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written September 2016
Yes. Please take note that there will be an extra charge for a single supplement room. Please contact us to arrange this.

Asked on July 20th, 2016I would like to know the hotels that we stay in
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written July 2016
The hotel information for a tour is not released until closer to the departure date and can also be subject to change. It is not information that tour operators make available.
