Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and...

    We took this tour because we felt it may be difficult to travel independently and safely through Central America. Intrepid promised a real experience - local transport, trips to local restaurants and interaction with locals. This tour was split between two guides Edwin and Rafa. Rafa was always pressurizing the group to take expensive transport and tour upgrades with little alternative. Also taking the group to expensive restaurants and recommending no alternatives. He was also poor with information and badly organised. Edwin though very nice and generally very helpful was flawed as a guide. He gave a huge amount of repetitive information - every travel day after a long tiring journey Edwin would arrive at the hotel sit everyone in the lobby and talk for about an hour giving often unnecessary information on locations when all people wanted to do was get to their rooms - he would deliberately withold wifi passwords and room keys so we would be forced to listen to him speak. When challenged on this he became difficult to deal with and ignored concerns. Edwin spent 80-100 hours repeating the same information over and over and even explained in detail how to use a traffic light to cross the road. In the whole tour one day was spent at a local village. Only one day was spent on genuine local transport and the guides took us to extremely expensive tourist restaurants with low quality and certainly not local food. So the genuine local experience was pretty much non existent. Nearly all the transport was private - minibus, not particularly comfortable and a constant pressure from guides to tip drivers at the end of each journey. Being private transport we were disapointed not to stop and look at the amazing scenery - there was one stop on the entire trip for a photo opportunity, despite requests to our guides. The majority of trip felt more like a beach holiday as much of the time was spent on beach resorts. We were sold one trip by Intrepid this effectively four separate trips aimed at people on short holidays not people travelling for 60 days. The disjointed nature of the trip while waiting for new people to join wastes time and as the guides are constantly catering for new people makes for a very repetitive where you constantly go to beaches and places areas you would not normally do on a single trip. We were delighted to leave the trip in Panama and believe this was the feeling of many people that travelled with us. The amalgamation of various tour companies to the one Intrepid company led to a total mismatch ages from 18-65 causing friction in the group. This made it hard for the guides. On a positive note the accomodation was in the most part really good as on all intrepid tours, I would recommend some of Intrepids individual tours - but not a long one and not the Honduras/Nicaragua/Costa Rica.
