Top Travel Deals in Guatemala

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.

Amazing tour made perfect by a fabulously knowledgeable and attentive tour guide (Miguel Vasquez). Great itinerary and even tho we did the ‘reverse’ think it was the best way round. Antigua at the end was the icing on the cake. Great mixture of adventure, nature, history and local culture. Food and drink good too. Accommodation is good some exceeded my expectations but not enough to warrant ‘excellent’. ..

Miguel was an excellent tour guide during our full-on five country tour of Central America. It’s not a tour for everyone as there is little free time but I loved it. Volcanoes, wildlife, Mayan ruins, local culture and yet more volcanoes - what’s not to like! We did the Costa Rica to Guatemala route and felt this flowed better than the alternative would have - particularly finishing up in a lovely hotel in Antigua.

Full on trip that was amazing from start to end and worth visiting a high number of countries in one trip. Although some days was travelling from place to place, enjoyed the time to take in the views. Could do with more time in some places but you got the sense of the places, surroundings and local culture. Definitely recommend the trip before the countries become a tourist hotspot. Tour guide (Miguel) was amazing throughout the trip!
