    Well done. The trip crossed the Antarctic circle. We did not go as far as promised but saw many glaciers and wildlife.

    The guide was very professional and great, but there was no heat and no electricity sometimes in the hotel that made the experiences bad.

    A 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.
