Highlights: "Probably the Mayan sites; Antigua itself; the people and diversity of where we stayed and what we saw. Belize was different and a very nice ending to the holiday. It seemed to last forever"
AB, Reading, September 2011
Highlights: "Talking to the people we met, especially the guides, and learning a little about their experiences and culture; Mayan sites and wildlife"
AMM, Herne Hill, August 2011

NW, Wells, May 2011
Highlights: "difficult to decide as there were so many Tikal was amazing, Lake Atitlan excellent with our best guide but there were so many other wonderful places and people "

"Guatemala is just a lovely country coming to terms with tourism. However the hotels were beautifully maintained and in wonderful locations. The sites we visited were wonderful and the stay at Chiminos Lodge was an experience of a lifetime. Tikal lives up to its' billing, but then the sites at Aguateca and El Ceibal were in their own way equally as exciting"
KD, Woking, April 2011
"Antigua was lovely and very "Guatemalan" we felt"
CC, Hull, March 2011
"Guatemala is a very beautiful and interesting country which deserves to be better known. The history of the Maya and their ancient sites is fascinating much enhanced by the fact that the Maya people are still there and their customs and tradition can be observed. The scenery, Colonial architecture and birdlife = outstanding"
JE, Ware, February 2011
"Guatemala and Belize proved a great combination"

"I really enjoyed my time in Central America. My favourite tour was in Tikal and Tortuguero National Park where we saw lots of wildlife"
CD, Lee, January 2010
"Antigua - The chicken buses here are the most photogenic and I couldn’t keep away from the bus station"
SB, Glossop, September 2009
Highlights: "Lake Atitlan; a complete surprise, fab place. I think it should be in on the tour all of the time instead of Honduras. It was really, cultural and relaxing!"
PD, Lincoln, August 2009
Highlights: "Antigua- because the town was a jewel of Spanish and Mayan Cultures and because the Panza Verde Hotel was one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Tikal - just stunning and with such an excellent guide who knew the history and natural history of the rain forest"
