Reviews of our Guatemala Tours for October
Feedback from guests who toured Guatemala during October.
Linda | Traveled in October
This was a full on trip with a varied itinerary taking in wildlife, landscape, culture and history of this extremely interesting group of countries. There was the opportunity to do additional activities, though I would think twice about sledging down the volcano, walking was thrilling enough. Our Guatemalan guide was extremely knowledgeable and was supplemented by local guides in some locations. Certainly a trip of a lifetime.
