We had the best time in Guatemala!! There were so many activities that you have done during the trip. The pro is that we don't have the worry about the transportation because there is some people who are always there to assist us. The only con would probably be having those long land trips. The hotels were decent as we only view them as a place to sleep and shower. This tour exceeded our expectations.

Busy Guatemala

Activity filled schedule with plenty of sites. “Guatemala time” takes a bit of getting used to but it normally works out in the end. Transport can be a bit hit and miss but we’ll worth it for the Mayan experience.
