Customer Reviews
- Antonela· June 9th, 2025A great tour overall. I would recommend including a volcano hike around Antigua as part of this tour. At least offer it as an optional activity. As well, include an official city tour from a local guide. Antigua is such a beautiful city, it merits a few hours with an expert to tell you about it's history. I would also suggest extending the tour by a day and staying one extra night in San Ignacio, so that people have time to do more optional tours. As is, we only had time to visit the ATM cave. Intrepid offers a few optional activities, but there's no time for them. The tour guide, Reyes de Leon was wonderful, a very knowledgeable and friendly man! Hotels were good too, centrally located.Show more
- Daniel· May 21st, 2025I enjoyed the trip even though it started out rough with a very early departure from Antigua. Rayes was a good tour guide and I had alot of fun.Show more
- Miguel· May 29th, 2025An excellent superb tour!! I saw more animals and nature on this tour than the most of the Central America tour! If you’re into an adventure and love nature and unique animals this is your tour!Show more

Asked on November 14th, 2024I would like to do the Central America tour and see all of Costa Rica as a guided tour. I'm willing to fly to Guatemala from San Jose. What do you suggest? Can you give me the list of hotels for the attached tour. I'm a solo traveller. What are my options? I don't want to share the room with more than one person and mostly want to have private bathroom for the room. If private bathroom is not possible for a couple of nights, it can be OK. I would like to have the price for a non-shared room too.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written November 2024
This trip is an 18 - 29's itinerary and the accommodations will be a mix of hotels, camping, and multi share hostels. A single supplement is available if you'd prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement excludes Days 10 & 11 Hostel in San Juan del Sur (Multishare with shared facilties) where you will be in shared accommodation and is subject to availability. Trip cost at the moment is $1,900 CAD - Twin share. If you wanted to add on a single supplement the cost would be $1,035 CAD.

Traveler•Written November 2024Can you please send me the travel time from one destination to another?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written November 2024
Here's a breakdown of the approximate travel times between destinations on the Real Guatemala to Costa Rica tour: Antigua to Rio Dulce: Approximately 8–9 hours by private vehicle. Rio Dulce to Flores: Around 5–6 hours by private vehicle. Flores to San Ignacio: About 3–4 hours by private vehicle (includes a border crossing). San Ignacio to Tikal and back: A day trip, roughly 2–3 hours each way. San Ignacio to Bacalar: Approximately 8–9 hours by private vehicle (includes a border crossing). Bacalar to Tulum: Around 3 hours by private vehicle. Tulum to Playa del Carmen: About 1–1.5 hours by private vehicle. These travel times are approximate and might vary depending on road conditions, traffic, and any stops we make along the way for breaks or sightseeing.

Asked on August 24th, 2024Is it possible to have a private room if two of us are travelling?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2024
If you are travelling with another passenger, and if you book the trip under the same booking, you will be roomed in a twin share room together. Upon request, we can arrange a double room as well.
