Review 1

What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

Snorkelling at the reef off Caye Caulker, but everything was good.

What did you think of your tour leader?

Good at the transport, transfers and tour arrangements.

What advice would you give to other travellers?

ATMs can be very expensive, take US Dollars, change them to local currency at a bank, rather than paying with them, and change back if you can when you leave. There are alternatives to the tour leader suggestions, if you have the time and energy.

Sum your holiday up in one sentence

I'd do it again.

Review 2

What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

Many Highlights!!! Including the Mayan ruins at Tikkal. Volcano walk in Antigua and the excellent restaurants.

What did you think of your tour leader?

Good. Approachable, freindly and organised. Prehaps he could have had a little more knowledge/info.about bus services.As this tour was from Cancun to Antigua (In my case) and i had to then get bck to Cancun for my flight home, more detailed bus timetables would have been handy, rather than being left to the local travel agents, who often have a different agenda when trying to sell you tickets!

Do you feel your holiday benefited local people?

Yes, especially using local travel guides and visiting local restaurants.

Do you feel that you got under the skin of a country?

Yes. Very much so!!!

What advice would you give to other travellers?

Research thoroughly travel options if you intend to travel independantly before or after your trip. Its is very difficult to exchange any currency other than US dollars in Guatemala and Belize.So dont bring Sterling, Euros, AUS dollars etc.,
