Overall, a very good tour, although a bit too fast-paced. Not enough time spent in several places including Antigua, Guatemala and the beach resort in El Salvador. Hostel accommodations should be upgraded to 2-3 star hotels. Excellent travel companions on this tour (only one traveler with significant psychological disturbance). G has a superior CEO in Jorge Montero, who was a delight throughout. I have two more G tours scheduled later in 2025, so its apparent that I remain a fan and loyal customer of G.

Amazing trip! Was able to see so much in quite a short period of time. Face paced travel but was a good amount of time at each location. Our CEO Adrian Ramirez was an absolute legend, super insightful and made sure every leg of the trip ran smoothly. 10/10
