Great holiday. Will be booking another soon as poss. The tour guide was the best. Thanks Roberto. Recommend the holiday. A long time travelling in the bus but worth it. Very interesting places to visit. Enough culture but not too much.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The people who I was with. I'm 21 but didn’t feel out of place at all throughout. Some of the most fun I had during the trip was in the mini-van with the other travellers. Including my tour leader Diego, who was not only a great laugh, but also very organised and flexible with our itinerary. Being more then happy to help sort any problems that came up during the trip. Making sure I got the maximum out of the time I had in Mexico and Guatemala. (Both of which I would recommend to anyone thinking of going on holiday). Of course other memorable moments included all the locations we visited. But for simplicity, comfort and fun, a group trip like this one was the only way to go.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Through no fault of our tour, most people were slightly ill at some point. Make sure you bring any necessary medication, and some sickness/headache etc tablets. You don’t want it to effect your holiday.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
I think if I wanted to not effect the environment, I shouldn't have gone on holiday in the first place. However if i was going to do a holiday like this, a tour [with this operator] would be the best way to help the locals and minimize the effect on the environment.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Very good. Ordinarily with somewhere like Mexico I’d have to spend lots of money and time trying to arrange things like transport. But with our tour leader taking care of it, I had nothing to worry about. Also having somebody who knew the area's, made plenty of difference. Showing us the best places to eat or visit. I travel quite a lot, and although this was my first time with this operator, I will definitely be booking my next holiday through them.
Emma Bushell review 11 Feb 2008
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Mexico stood out for me. I loved the colours, vibrancy, food and people.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
On this holiday you cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time. The first part of the holiday is especially tiring. There's not really enough time to do justice to each location so you will feel like you get just a taste of Mexico, Guatemala and Belize on this trip. You also pass through some very different climates so make sure you pack for rain, cold, heat etc
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Mostly, although I think more can be done.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Overall, ok.

Thank you for your feedback Emma. While this trip does cover a lot in the 22 days we do try and spend at least two days in each location we visit to give clients enough time to explore. Wherever possible we like to give our groups the freedom to do as they choose. You can be as spontaneous as you like; pursuing you own interests one day and taking part in activities we have arranged the next. It’s up to you how much or how little you do.
