Worth the trip! Incredible sites. - It was hard to choose because EC tours the company that does these tours have so many good ones! But this Maya trip tour is incredible! ALEX did a great job showing me and explaining me details for what I was seeing and took incredible photos and videos of me with these historic sites. What a memorable day. If you are thinking of visiting these sites don’t think twice they are truly worth it. In person it’s something extraordinary. Also ALEX drives very safe and I never felt in danger when going through the highways. Thanks ALEX for such a great tour. 5 stars! Highly recommend.

Booked this tour last... - Booked this tour last minute and I’m so glad I did. The day was long but it went smoothly for all the stops we made. Our tour guide Wendy and our driver were incredibly kind. They were both very professional and great to talk to. She was knowledgeable about the sites and history of each of these places we visited. We left very well informed and would definitely recommend any these tours if you want to see different regions in one day.

Fabulous Guide & Driver: Jocelyn and Evan - We had a wonderful tour over 2 days. Our guide was Jocelyn and driver Evan. First let me say that Jocelyns English is spectacular. She's knowledgeable and informative. And she has a wonderful sense of humor. She takes great pride in her country and history. On our 2nd day, my husband had an accident and was injured. Jocelyn and Evan found us an ambulance and hospital. They never left our side. These 2 took amazing care of us to ensure my husband received the medical care he needed while maintaining a cool level head. I am so grateful for them. Thank you both. We are friends 🧡 for life. EC worked directly with us to ensure we saw exactly what was on our list and provided intentional professional guidance. I highly recommend them to guide you. Please ask for Jocelyn by name. She's worth it! And Even is a skilled and careful driver who will make sure you are transported safely. Thank you all so much.

Terrific tour with terrific tour guide! - I booked this tour for my mom, who was visiting me in El Sal and only speaks English. She had the best time! Her guide was Melissa, who was very friendly, informative, and fun. EC Tours also worked with us to adapt the tour to my mom’s need and preferences. Highly recommend!

Not the best - Not a great tour. My guide Alex tried skipping one of the 3 stops altogether. While I booked this quite a time in advance, Alex spoke little English and the student that was with him: it was her 2nd day on the job and explained a little. During our short hike at Cerro Verde, we had to stop and wait several times while Alex was on his phone.
