A great variety of activities was the key to our enjoyment. However, one nagging negative was the number of times tipping was necessary. Often members of our group h...

FYI, Sharon, my wife, has already submitted her evaluation. We thought, though, that it would be good for me to submit one as well. I have rated this style of travel so high because it incorporates culture, recreation and camaraderie so well.

Both my wife and I had a wonderful time experiencing Belize with a small group of travelers who also appreciated experiencing out of the ordinary travel. Our group w...

Editor’s Take

Things to Look For in Guatemala Travel Reviews

Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary.

Remember, just because you see a 1 star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.

For traveling in Guatemala, consider that a majority of your time will be spend outdoors. If being in close proximity to nature, and seeing the odd bug or two in your accommodation is not your cup of tea, it is likely you will find your Guatemala tour experience less than satisfactory. Most lodgings in Guatemala will be comfortable yet basic.

Many Guatemala accommodations are eco-lodges designed with sustainability in mind above all else. This has the potential to feel like a chore for some travelers, so before you discount Guatemala travel, know that negative reviews may be coming from a different perspective on eco friendly travel.

Positive reviews of Guatemala consistently mention their guides as a huge part of making the tour enjoyable. Guatemala tour guides are often nature and adventure travel experts, helping travelers spot camouflaged animals, and providing unique insights into local plant and animal life. They also helped keep things positive during Guatemala’s often unpredictable weather, which accounted for some reviewers negative responses to Guatemala travel.
