    It's a long day departing at approximate 04:40 and not returning back until around 19:00 - 20:00 (subject to traffic conditions) so you should bear that in mind prior to booking. Please also take into consideration that the travel company will only proceed with this tour if there are a minimum of two passengers. UK citizens need a visa to travel.into Honduras. An interesting insight into the history of the Maya people and how they used to live.

  • Maravilloso!

    I went with my mom from Argentina and the tour was amazing, our driver David, a genius! The only thing to highlight that I did not like, was that in honduras they asked me for the yellow fever certificate and from the company they did not warn me that they could ask for it! They held me in migration in slingshots until I managed to find a photo. And finally the local guide of the ruins of Copán showed terrible attention to us, explaining without desire! The rest of us loved it!

  • Great full-day experience.

    It’s a full day (15 hours) but worth the time. David picked me up on time, and I met the four other Americans going with me. Loved driving through El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. Cotopan tour was great with a knowledgeable guide. Fascinating ruins. Then a good lunch at a nice Honduran restaurant. The whole day was great. One warning (or selling point) you’re going to get a bunch of passport stamps (6-8 depending on the border guards) so if your passport is getting full, be warned.

    It’s a long day but very worthwhile to see and learn about Copán. David was an amazing driver and was invaluable getting through the boarder crossing for Guatemala and Honduras!! I had a great time!

    Gaby was a wonderful guide and driver getting me through 3 passport controls easily on the 5 hour drive there to Copan where I had a great tour of the impressive ruins for 2 hours with excellent local guide Senor Giovanni whose daughter is getting married to a fellow Irishman soon. I have taken dozens of tours in dozens of countries and Gaby is one of the best guides I have had and I would give her and the tour 6 stars out of 5 if I could.
