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.
An awesome day tour to the famous Copán Ruins in Honduras

5.00This was a great day tour and I’m glad I booked it. It began when my guide, Kerim, picked me up from my hotel at 5 am in San Pedro Sula and then drove me out to the Copán Mayan Ruins, the drive took about 3.5 hours. We ate breakfast at a restaurant called Escafe about halfway through the journey and it was delicious, I got to try the famous Honduran Baleadas there. We arrived at the Copán Ruins by 10 am or so where I met the other tour guide, Cesar, who took me on a guided tour of the ruins. This is the third Mayan ruins I’ve visited in Central America, the other 2 being Chichén Itzá in Mexico and Altun Ha in Belize, and I loved it just as much as the others. The guided tour of Copán took about 2 hours or so and then I took another hour to freely explore the site after the guided tour finished. After the Copán Ruins tour with Cesar and my free time exploring the site, I met back up with Kerim and he drove me into the nearby town where we got some lunch and then walked around for a little bit. We began the long drive back to San Pedro Sula around 4 pm and we got back around 8 pm, we were held up in traffic for about 1 hour due to road construction closing 1 lane but that wasn’t something we could control. Overall, I throughly enjoyed this tour and a big thanks to my tour guides Kerim and Cesar for making this day tour a great one! If you’re looking to visit the Copán Ruins while you’re visiting San Pedro Sula definitely don’t hesitate to book this tour, I highly recommend it! - Nolan
