Honest insights from past guests on our Guatemala tours
Anonymous | Traveled in March
This is our second trip with Exodus. My wife picked out the company and our first trip from a Google search of five words....... Serendipity. We've found our travel team.
Anonymous | Traveled in March
I would say the tour was great mostly because of our tour guide Eli. He daily went above and beyond what was expected. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough in everything he did for us. I do like the way Exodus and Eli constructed this tour of Guatemala. Eli constantly made sure we were informed, comfortable and happy. I cannot say enough about him. We had a very small group 5 so we were able to get around quickly and efficiently. This was a great trip.
Roy | Traveled in March
Brilliant trip, taking in the highlights of 6 Central American countries. Lots of wildlife-spotting, history (ancient & modern), and capped by visits to the Maya sites of Copan and Tikal.
Adrienne | Traveled in March
A great taster trip of Central America with a huge variety of activities and experiences. Carlos Tomas is an amazingly good guide: very experienced, knowledgeable, resourceful and fun to travel with. My second time in Central America and this trip definitely makes me want to return soon. Hotels are all comfortable and well-located with local flair. Single-room supplement is a bit steep however.

I joined this itinerary as an observing Exodus Staff Member - on it's first ever departure which was very exciting. The leader was exceptional, many little surprises and getting to see local customs and experiences we would never had seen if it was not for the leader. The itinerary was well organised, with a great mixture of downtime and walking various locations. No drives over 3 hours and were always split up nicely with little experiences along the way.
