Overall a fantastic tour, particularly Nicaragua, El Salvador, Copan and Antigua. Would be 5 stars, but the Costa Rica section of the tour doesn't quite work at the moment. Other than that a great tour though, and Miguel was a fantastic tour leader. Would recommend

Fantastic tour covering five countries. Definitely “full on” with long journeys but amazing scenery and experiences. Miguel (tour guide) was awesome - friendly, knowledgable, and an expert at whisking us through the borders. Confident he would have coped with any crises with a smile. Highlights for me were Nicaragua (Granada, Leon, Cerro ***** volcano hike), Copan, and Antigua de Guatemala.
