    This trip could not have been better organised. I absolutely loved every single place we visited. Plenty of free time at each site, and lots of relevant information at places where that was necessary. Our guides, Erhard (Mexico) and Aquilino (Belize and Guatemala), were both wonderful. I would recommend this trip to anyone considering visiting Central America.

    Antigua to San José was a fascinating introduction to 5 countries, from Mayan to recent political history, ecological and culinary experiences, adrenaline-raising zip lining or volcano boarding to a blissful beachfront retreat. Trip was seamlessly organised and guide Walter went above and beyond in assisting each traveler to get the most from their trip. Highly recommended.

    It was a perfect introduction to Costa Rica. In other reviews, I noticed that some felt that there should have been more meals and excursions included in the price. I thought that the amount was fair. It allowed us time to choose excursions that were of interest to us and to eat what, when and with whom we wanted. I preferred the mix of flexibility and structure. And for everything we did, the pace was excellent as well.
