    Francisco or driver was very good at communicating his arrival and very personable. His knowledge and friendliness and driving skills for the long journey there and back not to mention getting us thru all the checkpoints seamlessly was outstanding. Once at Ruinas Copan our guide Ceasar was equally outstanding! His knowledge of Mayan history and explanation of what we toured was top notch. We were never rushed, our quotations were answered and I learned so much more about Copan that makes it even more impressive then I fist thought. So thanks to them both for making this very historic trip for me a very memorable one. For future travelers, you will not be disappointed with this tour at all, especially if you get Francisco as your driver and Ceasar as your guide.

    It is a long drive from San Salvador but it is worth it to see the Mayan ruins, the beautiful country side and the Macaw. The tour guide, Gaby, was knowledgeable, friendly and a great driver. The guide in Honduras was also amazing.

    the excursion ES long, especially the journey. The good ES that we were with Josue, who was an exceptional, punctual, responsible boy, conduit pru DEnte, takes care of even the smallest detail, from the music he plays, to what he talks about. Tells you history DE his country, anecdotes DE both countries. I think DE 10 ES, and my congratulations ES to him and his exceptional DE job. EN Copán very interesting ruins. The crossing DE the borders and the journey became exhausting especially on the way back. But ENO, you know, is well specified in the description.

    This tour was a perfect adventure into culture and history. Our guide in El Salvador, Josue, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the region. He provided us all of the information we needed for the border crossings a day in advance so I felt well prepared. We even made an additional stop in the town of Santa Ana to see a beautiful cathedral and theater on the way back. Our guide in Honduras, Gladys was brilliant about the historic site of Copan. She explained everything we saw and was extremely patient the entire time when we wanted to take photos or ask questions. This was an absolutely amazing tour. It was extremely well run and very professional. Josue kept everything running smoothly and made sure we made it through seven border crossings without issue. I felt like we had plenty of time at Copan and did not feel rushed, even though it was an extremely long day for all of the guides. I highly recommend this tour. It is a true adventure led by expert guides!!

  • Great for historians

    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.
