This was an all day tour that involved some hiking with stairs. But Benjamin spoke good English and was incredibly informative. I learned so much in one day that I will carry with me for a lifetime! I saw active volcanoes, cloud forest, Crater lake, Mayan Ruins and Pyramids.

The guide, Benjamin, was excellent! He knows a lot about the places we went to. However, I didn’t like that I was in the car for an hour and a half because we had to go back three times to a meeting point to pick up someone but didn’t show up. The company MUST make a rule that the driver can wait for 5 minutes and leave. Learn to respect the time of those who were picked up first/early.

Erste Station Vulkan, gemeinsamer Spaziergang, könnte auch individuell gestaltet werden. Zweite Station Vulkansee (Blick) mit Essen. San Andreas (heißes Museum) Joyen der Ceren (Einblick auch in Teile des Museums, die für Besucher temporär gespärt sind) Umfassend informierter Tourguide, der auch einwandfreies Englisch spricht. Gelungener Tag, auch die Fahrt auf der Panamericana und die Transportgewohnheiten zu sehen machen den Trip lohnenswert.
