5.00I had an amazing day touring Copán, Honduras with Kerim and can’t recommend him highly enough. From the beginning, everything felt relaxed, thoughtful, and genuinely enjoyable. Kerim is an excellent tour guide—super knowledgeable, kind, and clearly proud of Honduras, its people, and its history. He shared stories and context throughout the day that made the experience feel meaningful, not rushed or scripted. He also took us to great local places for food and always made sure everyone was comfortable. He’s a very safe and attentive driver, and the pace of the day was perfect—never rushed, never stressful. What really stood out, though, were the little moments where he went above and beyond. On the drive back to the city, I mentioned I loved tamales. Without hesitation, Kerim soon pulled over, found a spot, and we all sat down and enjoyed tamales together. It was such a small thing, but it made the day feel personal and special. It truly was an incredible experience. If you ever get the chance to tour with Kerim, I highly recommend taking it—you’ll be in great hands and have a wonderful day.
Book it!

5.00Kerim is amazing! I cannot recommend him or any of his travel tours enough. I booked this tour with him and immediately booked another with him for the following day. He’s very kind and knowledgeable. He makes you feel safe and the tours are no more than 4 people so you have a chance to meet some like minded individuals, if you’re lucky like I was. (Shoutout to Kinna and Michelle!) As a young black woman and solo traveler I felt very safe. Kerim is a very proud Honduran and wants to show his guests the best of what his country has. I’m so grateful I stumbled upon his tours. I wish I were staying a few more days to do other tours with him. Copan was great. We had breakfast on our way there and Kerim told us about the history of the place. Then he handed us off to a tour guide at the ruins where we paid our entry fees and saw the ruins and tunnels. Then we went to a cafe and got some desserts and nice drinks. We opted not to do the Macaws because we saw them at the ruins. We did go to a tea and chocolate place that gave us nice samples of tea before heading back to San Pedro and getting tamales on the way. I highly recommend Kerim and his tours.
great experience

5.00I like roadtrips, and this day trip was perfect for combining a major attraction with exposure to the varied scenery of Honduras during the drive back and forth. Kerim is extremely passionate about his home country and during the drive provided nonstop commentary about Honduras and regional/global affairs. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to visit Honduras, whether as a solo traveller or as a group.
Amazing Experience!

5.00Kerim is more than a tour guide. He felt like a local friend and is a treasure and champion of San Pedro Sula! Super knowledgeable, professional, prompt and kind, Kerim went above and beyond every step of the way. I booked two tours with Kerim and used his transportation services to bring me to the airport to fly out to Roatan! I highly recommend Kerim , felt incredibly safe while on his tours (especially as a solo woman traveler) and 1000% would use his tour services again - as I hope to visit Honduras again one day!

5.00Honduras is SUCH a beautiful country! Kerim allows you to respectively become a student of the Honduran subject & that should not be overlooked. Kerim picked me up at 5am & dropped me off later that day. Our breakfast was Honduran Baleadas (delicious)! Next, we went to the Arqueológico El Puente Park where I learned about the Honduran Mayan culture. Afterwards, we went to the Copañ Ruins where I met Caesar who did an amazing job with his tour! I will truly cherish the conversations & people I met in Honduras for the rest of my life. Thank you so much Kerim (and Caesar) for such an amazing experience!
Travel Copan with Kerim, you won’t be disappointed!

5.00Kermin arranged the most amazing trip to Copan. Started at the Mayan ruins, which were phenomenal. Visited the Macaw Mountain Bird Sanctuary and was impressed to see the work going into returning these magnificent birds to the wild. The hidden gem was a trip to Luna Jaguar Hot Springs that was home to 13 different hot springs. What a treat that was! Kermin truly loves Honduras and is a great historian. He knew all the best scenic places to visit. The food was simply amazing! Don’t go with any plans to lose weight! We appreciated Kermin’s attention to detail, kindness, flexibility and his top notch driving skills! Highly recommend traveling with Kermin!

5.00This is a very well organized tour with a guide who truly cares about the guest's experience. He is attentive to the guest and sees that all needs are met and an excellent time is had. I strongly endorse this as a wonderful way to explore Copan and learn about that site as well as today's Honduras.
