Guatemala Escorted Tours and Guided Trips

Brilliant trip, taking in the highlights of 6 Central American countries. Lots of wildlife-spotting, history (ancient & modern), and capped by visits to the Maya sites of Copan and Tikal.

A great taster trip of Central America with a huge variety of activities and experiences. Carlos Tomas is an amazingly good guide: very experienced, knowledgeable, resourceful and fun to travel with. My second time in Central America and this trip definitely makes me want to return soon. Hotels are all comfortable and well-located with local flair. Single-room supplement is a bit steep however.

Wow what a trip! So many contrasts and different experiences all rolled into one amazing trip. Our tour leader was superb, he is in a class of his own and on top of that such a wonderful person. I recommend this trip to seasoned travellers who are happy for long travel days, a mix of quality in the accommodation and comfortable with basic amenities at times. The sights and experiences are 100% worth it but it can be tough going at times. Highlights include Volcano walking, Maya ruins and fabulous birds mixed in with incredible landscapes, stunning scenery and tropical beaches. You really do leave having experienced this country to the full and learnt a few Spanish words along the way!

A highly enjoyable and very energetic trip offering huge variety of experiences; from historic city streets to Caribbean beaches; Mayan ruins to vibrant markets; nature reserves to lakeside hotels, torch-lit caverns to smouldering volcanoes, and much more. It was a full-on journey, excellently managed by local guide Marvin Chang. Over a couple of weeks, and a lot of miles, we got to see many of the highlights of Guatemala (and the glorious Mayan ruins of Copán just over the border in Honduras). The accommodation ranged from excellent to good but was always characterful. The breakfasts supplied were very good and generally a wide choice of restaurants for evening meals. Quite a few lunches were quick stops at roadside restaurants and service stations so this isn't a tour for those looking for leisurely mid-day gourmet experiences. Overall, it was a journey of discovery, occasionally tiring but absolutely worth the effort. The perfect holiday for someone who relaxes by dashing around hunting down fascinating sights that they will remember for the rest of their life.

The itinerary requires lots of long driving days so I give it 4 stars but it’s also the only way to do it all. Hotels were a nice upgrade though little time to enjoy them as days are full on.

We covered a lot of ground in 18 days and it was amazing. Miquel was an attentive and knowledgeable guide. Our experience was a bit unique as it was just my husband and I. We loved the mix of cultural, food, wildlife and adventure activities. We took advantage of many of the optional activities because - well why not - we were there to see things! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to explore the 5 sister countries of Central America.
