Guatemala - Land of the Maya

Great trip which encompassed seeing much of the country. Tour leader was impressive and added a lot to the tour. A complete mix of scenery, people and weather A couple of long driving days but expected when on a tour that covers so much. Great to visit Tikal, Livingston and the western highlands including Lake Atitlan and Antigua.

An extraordinary country, both vibrant and diverse, full of colour and Mayan tradition. The whole country was covered during the trip however this meant some long driving days to reach lesser known areas far from the normal tourist routes which gave an insight into the real people of Guatemala and the lush country they inhabit. A full-on exciting trip with many surprises. A real adventure.

A great and very full-on trip, which took us to multiple destinations in Guatemala. We were disappointed not to get to Honduras, and to be honest the "add ins" as a result of that were the least thrilling part of the trip, but really feel like we saw Guatemala in depth. Our guide, Thomas, was amazing, for example taking us to a local dance ceremony where there were literally no other tourists. He was endlessly informative and enthusiastic. The Day of the Dead celebrations were mind-boggling.

I totally enjoyed the Mayan experience with our tour leader Thomas Morales...we were his family and he organised a brilliant holiday for us. He solved a major problem we had with our phone...I highly recommend him as a tour leader. My only concern was the treatment of farm animals going for slaughter....I did not see any vetinary supervision or any health and safety practices.
