Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around Playa Del Carmen during January.
Carol | Traveled in January
Enjoyed this tour very much. Big thank you to Alonso & independent guides Daniel - Uxmal & Roger - Tulum. All gave us an interesting, truthful and straightforward account of the Yucatan - historically & present day.
Catherine | Traveled in January
An amazing trip! The local guides were fantastic especially at Tikal. What a privilege to hear Manuel talk about Mayan culture and share his knowledge. Alonso was helpful, kept us informed of what was up for the next day, and made the trip easy so we could enjoy the sights (and sites).
Carol | Traveled in January
I would say that overall this tour is outstanding! A GREAT way to see so many cities that I otherwise would not have been able to get to very easily. The cultural information and experiences were amazing!
Nathalie | Traveled in January
This was my first experience travelling in a group. I really enjoyed the trouble free experience provided by having a guide helping us and sharing tips about the locations visited. I would have like maybe a smaller group (12) as bigger the group more time we have to wait at the restaurants to order and pay the bills. Overall, we might do it again we G adventures.
Dammy | Traveled in January
I love the experience of the tour, but it's very much impacted by the CEO and of course the group itself. The social impact aspect of the tour makes for a lovely enriching local experience.
Joachim | Traveled in January
What an experience! Jungles, beaches, caves, volcanoes.. and the food! Sure, the optional activities are an extra expense that can feel expensive, but they are, on this trip, worth every penny!
