This trip was purely as good as it was because of our tour leader Dennis Asturias. Honestly, the best advocate for Central America. The trip would not have been nearlyas good without him.

Pablo (the tour leader) was amazing at his job. Explaining in full detail of all the countries histories, making us all fully aware of how each country came to be making it not only fun but educational. He made me feel comfortable in each country, helping me with anything I needed. Went above and beyond in his job role as tour leader. He made or experience more realistic, taking us to small local restaurants making sure we were helping the local communities out. When I got ill he helped me seek medical advice, with out him I wouldn’t of been able to do this.
