Reviews of our Playa Del Carmen Tours for January
Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around Playa Del Carmen during January.
Lynsee Y | Traveled in January
What an incredible experience of a part of Central America. Guatemala took my breath away and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering Latin America. The activities, the pace, the nature and cultural experience was a perfect balance. My only regret is not staying on the second leg of the tour to continue onto Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador.
Ash’Lea W | Traveled in January
Overall I loved the trip, and what was offered. Again my only complaint is the accommodations. Basic is fine but cleanliness and pride of ownership should be important. I would definitely consider another G Adventures but the accommodation will weigh heavily on that decision. I love the 18-39 age group, but with upgraded accommodation.
Grace F | Traveled in January
I had amazing tour with Christian as a CEO. I would book another immediately if I knew he’d be the CEO. He made the tour fun and went out of his way to make sure everyone was happy and felt comfortable. I particularly appreciated his help in ordering vegetarian food in Spanish. We did so much in a short amount of time. I will never forget snorkeling in Caye Culker, cave tubing in san Ignacio or the unreal ruins of Tikal. Thanks so much for an unforgettable experience.
Bree A | Traveled in January
It was phenomenal, jam packed full of amazing opportunities. Our guide was amazing and our group were so friendly. Accomodation was good we were so happy with every experience. Very tired but very happy backpackers! Also want to add my wife and I are a gay couple and we felt so safe and no judgement it was wonderful to not feel anxious
Thomas L | Traveled in January
This travelling style generally brings out the best in people, and when you don't have to do the research, you do not know what you are missing. You can just go with the flow, and enjoy the ride. I love it.
Christy | Traveled in January
The Geluxe Yucatan tour was nice. Our guide Alonso was exceptional! The Hacienda and float down the Sian Kaan were the highlights of the trip. I was disappointed to not have a hotel on the beach for the last two nights. This type of tour with many meals included would be good for someone who is traveling alone and would like to be with the group more. If I traveled solo I would consider Geluxe tours again, but if I travel with my husband it will be another Nat Geo or classic tour.
