One of the best we have ever had. The whole trip was memorable for two main reasons – the variety of scenery and the superb wildlife. (more)Tim Graham
Included memories are - Spider monkeys swinging jumping above us to reach the trees on opposite side of jungle river, finding red eyed tree frogs at night... an incredible display by the resplendent quetzal during a courting session (more)Paula Cooke

Encountering Mexico made us challenge preconceptions and our understanding of what it is to be Mexican. Most memorable surprisingly were how safe and beautiful are the cities we visited and the welcome we received from the Mexican people, urban and rural. Monte Alban.

Costa Rica is a lovely place to visit but had we known it was so expensive we
would never have signed up to a vacation that didn't have a lot of included activities and meals included. (more)Ian Halliwell
All of it was memorable...each place visited is so different... it's hard to choose. Monteverde for its lush vegetation, but boy can it get cold at night...and tortuguero for its wildlife. (more)Linda Whittingham

Snorkelling in Caye Caulker, Belize, was an amazing experience! Nurse sharks, stingrays and turtles, not to mention oodles of brightly coloured fish, seemed completely oblivious to our presence, and Hol Chan Marine Reserve, with its dazzling array of corals and fish, was stunning. What a fantastic day! Just as good, but for different reasons, was the memorable Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) cave - wading through water; scrambling up, over and under rocks; and marvelling at the...

15 out of 10. Great experiences, culture, exchange, opportunity, choice...THE BEST. (more)Géraldine Poukens
Snorkelling with manatees, sharks and a turtle was pretty special but, in fact, every day on this trip was extraordinary... from volcanoes to markets, Mayan ruins to swimming in hot springs, eating at a Mexican family's home and taking a riverboat trip. Fantastic. (more)Jennie Walmsley
The scenery and people of Guatemala, the warmth of the people and climate of Belize and the excitement and colour of Mayan Mexico. One of the best small group vacations I have ever experienced. (more)Martin Braund
