Mariana· February 17th, 2025Well-organized tour. The hotels, activities and meals included was also very good in general. I would add an extra day in San Ignacio (Belize), especially for those interested in exploring Mayan ruins, and I think it would be interesting if we had the option to start the tour in this country instead of Mexico. I liked Intrepid's approach to reducing ecological impacts and also offering a homestay in Guatemala, contributing to the development of a local community and helping us have a more immersive experience in the country.Show more

Special mention to TANIA ROBLES our tour guide. She was very helpful and went out of her way to assist in the group's varied requests. Tania also helped me when I had trouble getting home due to visa issue. Thankfully she was still in Antigua but not working but she was an angel in getting me flights etc. Can't wait for next trip.

Sandy
Asked on November 28th, 2024How much will cost hotel room just for one and is there available privte tour - the cost and what is the minimum number of attendees
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written November 2024
A single supplement is available if you'd prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement excludes Day 14 (San Juan La Laguna homestay) where you will be in shared accommodation and is subject to availability. If you would like to have this added to your booking the additional cost would be €795. Our tailor made team is able to put together private departures and alter the itinerary to best suit your needs. However, they do have a minimum requirement of 4 people and at least 5 nights. Private departures do take a bit longer to sort out so they will need at least 3-4 months in advance to put it all together.
