Excellent

Overall I had the best time and this is definitely one of my favourite trips I have done. Each country was special in its own way and the people are so great. Being able to snorkel and swim with sharks was a real bucket list moment in Belize and then hiking up Acatenango in Guatemala was an experience I will never forget and truly magical considering it was also the most difficult thing I have ever done.

Overall a great experience in some wonderful places. Lulu was a fantastic CEO. Accommodations are very cheap so be prepared for cheap shared hostels.

I am absolutely glad I took this trip. The people, and the variety of experiences, I could never have put together on my own. We had an excellent CEO, Ana, who added so much to the trip with her enthusiasm and knowledge and acceptance of all of us. I appreciated the contact that we had with local people, getting a feel for how they live and work. I loved visiting the ancient ruins and hearing stories from local guides. I loved the nature experiences we had with snorkeling, caving and hiking. And beyond that we had a great group of people of varying ages and points of view. It was special to share that time with them.

Excellent

Action packed adventure with no time to relax! Still a great experience for two weeks that we will repeat in another location in a couple of years.

Had a great time and did much more fun activities than I expected. Just don't expect the good accommodations.
