  Definitely recommend the excellent full day tour from Positive Tours to the expertly restored Mayan UNESCO Copan Ruins, Honduras. We decided to use the same company in El Salvador that we had great success with on another full day tour. David was our tour guide and he had a very relaxed and thorough style as he easily navigated our small group through multiple border crossings, which could have been quite logistically painful without him. He and our driver navigated the complex terrain & traffic as we arrived at the archeological site. He handed us off to an amazing local Honduran tour guide, Marvin. Marvin even helped several of our tour group with some umbrellas as it was raining when we arrived. He blended loads of local and regional history to our well-travelled multicultural group from Central & South America as well as Europe. His command of languages was quite impressive too as he knew conversational French and Portuguese. The tour is about 2.5-3 hours on the archeological site so definitely bring water, snacks, sunscreen and potentially bug spray. There are only bathrooms in the visitor center so plan accordingly. There are some steep pillars so also beware of that for any mobility challenges, but it seems to be very family friendly especially the grand plaza and arena. We did not do the tunnel tour. We had a quick but tasty lunch in the town of Copan before loading into the mini-van for the long trek back to San Salvador. Thanks much for keeping us safe and setting up a very nice tour of Copan!

  Notified the day before by WhatsApp of the time at the hotel. Punctual. Good explanations for crossing the border with Guatemala then Honduras. Beautiful site visited with a local guide. Then lunch in the pretty town of Copan and a short walk in the city before leaving.

• Only client booked, so tour did not operate

  I don't know what to tell others, because the tour did not operate the day on which I had booked it. I was evidently the only person booked, so the tour was likely canceled due to the distance and cost of operating it for only one client. This tour was one of my primary reasons for coming to El Salvador, so obviously I was quite disappointed, but I also understand the costs of running a business.

• A GREAT experience but be advised, a VERY long day!

  Excellent communication prior to the day trip from my driver, Miguel. It was just me on the tour, with 2 drivers sharing the work (Adriana and Miguel). Both were excellent drivers and very friendly. My local guide at Copan, Gustavo, provided excellent information on the ruins and some history of Honduras in general. I was not expecting the Copan Ruins to be as large as they are! Simply amazing! Both Miguel and Adriana were extremely helpful during the multiple immigration stops (you travel first to Guatemala before traversing to Honduras). It was a very enjoyable experience, but be advised you will depart VERY early (5am) and not return to San Salvador until around 8-830pm. Thankfully, I was able to cat nap in the backseat, both to and from the destination!

• Long day- Happy I did it!

  Miguel and Adriana tag teamed the long driver that started about 5am. They helped me navigate the easy borders in Guatemala and Honduras. Copan was interesting, beautiful and I was assigned a guide to give me the history of the site. We enjoyed a lunch and a short walk through the city of Copan. It was a long day, approx 5am-5pm, but the guides made it hassle free! I’d recommend

  This tour is long, as others have mentioned - 15 hours in our case but definitely worth it. It was amazing to see these beautiful, extensive and detailed ruins with colourful macaws all around us. The guide inside the park was highly knowledgeable and very passionate about Copan and Mayan history in general. We had Gaby as our driver and she was very pleasant, friendly and provided us with excellent information as well as recommendations.

• Great tour to get to know the ruins in Honduras!

  Such a great day! Our guide Josue was the best. Arrived on time with a great attitude! Patient, informative, and friendly. Such a long day for him — 15 hour day! Great tour of the ruins that was led by a separate guide that works at the Copan Ruins. We did the tunnel tour add-on ($15 a person). The Copan ruins guide asked for an additional tip for the tunnel tour on top of the of the initial tip we gave him. After the ruins Josue took us to this restaurant called Llama Del Bosque in the town. Great food and got to walk around the town a bit to shop for souvenirs. On the drive back, Josue gave us some great dinner recommendations. He dropped us off at Tipicos Margoth per our request at the end of the tour! Overall would definitely recommend this tour with Josue. Timely, organized and efficient!

  I went to visit the Mayan city of Copán and it has been amazing, a brutal adventure plan! Gaby was the one who took me there and is a very nice guide, who likes what she does and very professional. He deserves a raise. And when you enter Copán, I recommend that your guide be Giovanni, this gentleman is a real authority on Mayan history, as well as very nice and close. It will not disappoint you!!

• A great day out

  This was a great day trip - long drives but totally worth it for the Copan ruins. Alejandro looked after us very well and got us through the border crossings bump free. He had lots of information about El Salvador to share and took us to a lovely restaurant for lunch. Please be aware that if you are a UK citizen you need a visa for Honduras! I would definitely recommend this trip

• Excellent one-day getaway to Honduras

  This tour is a very long day, starts very early and ends very late. The Guide Joshua is good and knowledgeable of the border procedures so the passage through the borders was quite facilitated. The tour of the ruins of Copan was with the guide Marvin who is an excellent storyteller, but personally I did not like much of his attitude to my view very incorrect: I chose to do the tour of the tunnels (which in reality is not worth it) and for this tour it is necessary to pay more to the guide. When I paid him gives me much less exchange than I would have to give claiming that it was the tray, I complained but still did not give me the whole exchange.
