Style Style Small Group Tour Small groups are usually defined as between 10 and 24 travelers, often less. If you're the kind of person who enjoys more intimate experiences and personal service this is a good choice. All else being equal you will pay a premium for this style vs a larger group tour.
Private Guided Private tours give you the undivided attention of a guide, and often involve special access to sites and unique experiences not available to larger groups. This is a great option for families, couples, and small friend groups. Expect to pay a bit more for the extra service.
Self Guided Tour A travel company plans your itinerary and arranges all the logistics including lodging, local activities, and transportantion. You have the flexibility of a solo trip while still getting the convience and time savings of expert planning. Get 90% of the benefits of a tour, without a guide.
Group Tour Groups are between 25-60 people, typically ~30-40. Usually there will be many opportunities to split off and enjoy meals and excursions in smaller groups. This is the most economical way to travel, saving up to 40% versus booking the same itinerary yourself.
River Cruise These vessels are smaller than most ocean cruisers, limiting which amenties are available. Passenger counts can vary. One of the biggest advantages of a river cruise is the ability to dock at smaller ports and local villages.
Small Ship Cruise Small ship cruises usually have a max passenger count of 500. The primary purpose of these trips is to spend time off the vessel in local ports (e.g. Mediterranean) or experiencing nature (e.g Galapagos or Antarctica). Cabins can vary from budget to luxury.
Large Ship Cruise This is the "floating city" experience, with multiple ways to enjoy your vacation aboard the ship as much as on land. Ships are multiple floors, provide several activities, culinary, and shopping options. They often make fewer stops and have less time available for shore excursions.
Retreats Similar to a self guided tour but staying in one location only with activities and day outings included as a part of the stay.

Top Guatemala Attractions & Experiences

Top Guatemala Experiences

    Experiencing the grandeur of the ancient Mayan temples and pyramids of Tikal.

    Walking the cobbled streets of Antigua to view the beautifully preserved Spanish-style colonial buildings. 

    Taking a boat ride on the crystal blue waters of Lake Atitlan to visit the small villages that dot its shores. 

    Wandering through the crowded market at Chichicastenango

    Hiking up an active volcano, if you dare. 

    Relaxing on a beach along Guatemala’s Caribbean shore. 

    Enjoying nature walks, birding, and viewing sea turtles in the rainforests and along the Pacific and Caribbean coasts.

Duy, the tour leader was attentive, informative and the food we were given was fantastic.
So much so, that we will organise another night street food tour in Hoi An when we arrive there.

a totally wonderful tour with Tereza who was passionate about Prague s history and her knowledge in general was expansive and was relayed to us with character which made the whole day so enjoyable highly recommended. Prague itself is stunning but to have the added bonus of a place to eat where the locals go and knowledge about this incredible city was very much a bonus.
My wife & I came away thoroughly invigorated after our tour .. really good !

A very exciting and educational trip. If you have Malo as your guide, you’re in very safe hands, as he is awesome! Activities not to miss are the ruins at Tikal, the ATM caves, Snorkelling in Caye Caulker and Chichen Itza. They were all amazing. Would definitely recommend Intrepid, and plan to travel with them again

This trip is a perfect introduction to Central America. We loved the variety of the itinerary, and especially enjoyed Guatemala & Belize! Such a shame that Caye Caulker (island in Belize) is not on the itinerary from next year, as that was our favourite place! A couple of long travel days but it’s all part of it. Overall, the trip was awesome and has made us want to head back to Central America ASAP

Awesome, fast paced trip that has a great balance of culture, relaxing beaches and wildlife. The ATM caves and Tikal ruins are must do's, and Caye Caulker snorkeling with sharks is amazing. There are a lot of optional extras so budget accordingly. Cristina our guide was awesome.
