Overall, a wonderful trip! The pace is fast and the amount of things provided to do was very good. I would have liked to have spent a little more time in Guatemala and Honduras to get a feel for those countries (I can't really say that I have seen them on this trip) yet overall, it was a wonderful time with amazing people and beautiful locations.

The trip had an enjoyable itinerary that was complimented with a fantastic CEO. The only failings were on G Adventures part for not removing a crass, intrusive, and problematic individual from the tour. As mentioned before, call me for additional details. I'm not asking for a refund or credit, but I do not want this to happen to another group again. I recommend your company to too many people for this type of experience to happen.

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.
