This was an amazing tour! There were so many optional things to do, so if I wanted to keep busy and active I could. And if I wanted to relax or do my own thing, I could do that as well. I highly recommend coming to Antigua early for an extra day or two, and staying a day or two in Playa del Carmen to visit Chichen Itza!

Over all it was the best experience to get a taste of 2 central America countries. And to finish in Mexico was a bonus.

I had amazing tour with Christian as a CEO. I would book another immediately if I knew he’d be the CEO. He made the tour fun and went out of his way to make sure everyone was happy and felt comfortable. I particularly appreciated his help in ordering vegetarian food in Spanish. We did so much in a short amount of time. I will never forget snorkeling in Caye Culker, cave tubing in san Ignacio or the unreal ruins of Tikal. Thanks so much for an unforgettable experience.
