    · August 14th, 2025
    The Central America Intro trip was the adventure of a lifetime! Every single moment was incredible, from snorkelling and swimming with stingrays to hiking volcanoes and making unforgettable memories with new friends. Our tour guide, Ceci, was absolutely amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide, she was enthusiastic, kind, caring, and incredibly passionate about her job. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt supported, and you could always turn to her whenever you needed help or advice. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an unforgettable travel experience. It’s the perfect combination of adventure, culture, and forming friendships, an experience I’ll never forget!

    The Central America tour was my first Intro tour and it did not disappoint! I had so many incredible experiences like snorkeling, staying with a wonderful Mayan family and climbing Acatenango! Our group leader Ceci was the best. She always ensured we were having fun and went above and beyond to make this trip a good experience for everyone! It would be great to see the incorporation of overnight transport for the longer travel days as they did take a lot out of the groups energy. Other than that I’d highly recommend this trip!

    This was THE best trip I have been on. My group leader Ceci was amazing, honestly more than a group leader, she was a friend, and make the trip so amazing and memorable. She was unbelievable at her job and always willing to help everyone no matter what time of the day. I’d go back tomorrow, genuinely, so thank you Ceci & all at Intro !!

    The tour was absolutely incredible! I got the opportunity to do and see things you can only dream of! Ceci our tour leader was beyond incredible. She has an endless amount of knowledge that helps you delve deeper into the different cultures. Her laugh and positive energy are contagious and always lifts the spirits. She is one of the kindest souls and most caring people I’ve ever come across and went above and beyond to look after me when I was ill and adapt activities so I could join in. One of the best experiences of my entire life!

    recently completed the Intro Central America tour and overall, it was an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Ceci, was absolutely incredible, knowledgeable, kind, organised, and always willing to go above and beyond for the group. She truly made the trip so special! As for the itinerary itself, some travel days were extremely long and could feel a bit draining, especially with early starts. Our group was also larger than what was originally advertised, which at times made accommodation, melas and activities feel a bit crowded. That said, the trip had so many great moments that made it all worth it. We swam in the beautiful blue water in Bacalar, relaxed on the island of Caye Caulker in Belize, and saw volcanoes and amazing old ruins in Guatemala. Each place had something special to offer.
