Central America Last Minute Deals Tour Reviews
Real traveler feedback from Last Minute Deals tours across Central America
Jason | Traveled in December
An excellent tour of Belize, with relatively short driving distances compared to many Explore tours. We went on the 23 November departure and it was still the back end of the rainy season so we had rain most days and sites were muddy. The tour leader was excellent and gave us a great introduction to the country. We chose options which gave us more time at Mayan ruins.
Anonymous | Traveled in December
This trip is fast paced but provides a very good overview of all six Central American countries within a 25 day timeframe. The itinery is varied covering history, geography, politics, flora and fauna. There is plenty of wildlife and birds. Tommy Morales the tour leader is exceptional making the trip smooth sailing. There are many quirky activities to do like a hot spring spa in the middle of the jungle. This is a trip you will love and will make you want to do more in Central America.
Henning | Traveled in December
Fantastic tour discovering the country from North to South while getting in contact with history, culture and everyday life of the local people. The itinerary provides a good mix of must visits and hidden gems. Our tour leader Minh did a great job by keeping us interested and providing helpful information as well as background to better understand this beautiful country and its people. Highly recommend!
Clare | Traveled in December
I have seen and experienced so many wonderful places, people, food and entertainment. The holiday was packed with more than I had expected but allowed enough free time to recharge batteries. Our guide was very efficient, kind, thoughtful and helpful. He was extremely knowledgeable and funny. We were very lucky to have him. Plus, I was with a group of lovely people and enjoyed their company.
Alastair | Traveled in December
Good combination of two very different weeks. Good food and interesting and varied sights in Sri Lanka. Well organised and led, in very difficult circumstances during severe flooding and landslides! The boat tour of the Maldives was excellent, by far the best way of seeing this country. The boat was comfortable with great food and attentive crew. The main activity is snorkelling so if this is your thing you will love it!
Elizabeth | Traveled in December
Excellent tour guide Bibi, who gad local knowledge of where to see wildlife and anticipate where they would likely be. We saw most animals with young, so November as a good time to visit. Seeing Victoria Falls close up was stunning and the helicopter flight from above was awesome. Hotels that were used were impeccable and a welcome needed break after camping.
