Antigua Explorer Trips

Great trip, Great group, Big reach out for an brilliant tour leader (Tommy Morales) - sorted out a dentist when I needed one...Has infectious enthusiasm. Transport and accommodation were good. Would suggest including some of the options in the overall trip costs...Otherwise all good.

Interesting trip, full of culture, beautiful scenery, volcanoes and lakes. Learning about the Mayan people. Difficult obtaining a visa for Honduras. The Mayan ruins & the village of Copan was interesting but not sure it’s worth the hassle with the visa! Our guide Miguel was excellent.

This trip was great. It covers a lot, so expect some long drives. Our guide Miguel did a great job, talking about each country with passion and helping out to solve any personal request or issue. Also he was good at finding restaurants. The itinerary is well put together, allthough sometimes you feel you only scratch the surface of a particular country. Border crossings went very well. Swift and professional. Only entering Costa Rica it took an hour. You will get plenty of stamps! Unfortunately we missed an Easter parade in Antigua by one day - I find Explore could have planned differently. Lucklily we also missed the vulcano eruption in Antigua by one day. Our group were 12 people, mostly from the UK - good conversations and interacting between everyone. All in all a great trip that will give a taste of Central America.

Great trip. Full on pace, would have to skip activities to slow down! A cultural and nature trip. Guatemala was my favourite country; the Mayan history and culture. The archeological site at Copan adds to the diversity of experiences on this trip. As well the more recent history of regime change in Nicaragua. The Spanish colonial architecture was highlighted at all destinations, quaint hotels. Nature’s beauty and wild life was showcased throughout. Overall, a diversity of experiences filled the two weeks!

Thomas Morales (Tommy) is a fantastic tour guide. He is highly knowledgeable of all the areas we visited, extremely helpful, nothing was a problem, guided and advised us, helped with border crossings, had restaurants booked, carried bags, and gave you the feeling of safety, that he knew what he was doing and was taking you on the right path. A pleasure to be with for four weeks he made the experience wonderful. Thank you, Tommy!

A very enjoyable tour with an excellent and informative tour leader who always went the extra mile to ensure things ran smoothly. Perhaps the only criticism is that it needs to be stressed in the trip notes that although crossing the Gulf of Fonseca by boat is an adventure it’s going to be rather wet.
