    This trip could not have been better organised. I absolutely loved every single place we visited. Plenty of free time at each site, and lots of relevant information at places where that was necessary. Our guides, Erhard (Mexico) and Aquilino (Belize and Guatemala), were both wonderful. I would recommend this trip to anyone considering visiting Central America.

    Antigua to San José was a fascinating introduction to 5 countries, from Mayan to recent political history, ecological and culinary experiences, adrenaline-raising zip lining or volcano boarding to a blissful beachfront retreat. Trip was seamlessly organised and guide Walter went above and beyond in assisting each traveler to get the most from their trip. Highly recommended.
