An Excellent Tour with a Great Guide - This is a very well organized tour with a guide who truly cares about the guest's experience. He is attentive to the guest and sees that all needs are met and an excellent time is had. I strongly endorse this as a wonderful way to explore Copan and learn about that site as well as today's Honduras.

An awesome day tour to the famous Copán Ruins in Honduras - This was a great day tour and I’m glad I booked it. It began when my guide, Kerim, picked me up from my hotel at 5 am in San Pedro Sula and then drove me out to the Copán Mayan Ruins, the drive took about 3.5 hours. We ate breakfast at a restaurant called Escafe about halfway through the journey and it was delicious, I got to try the famous Honduran Baleadas there. We arrived at the Copán Ruins by 10 am or so where I met the other tour guide, Cesar, who took me on a guided tour of the ruins. This is the third Mayan ruins I’ve visited in Central America, the other 2 being Chichén Itzá in Mexico and Altun Ha in Belize, and I loved it just as much as the others. The guided tour of Copán took about 2 hours or so and then I took another hour to freely explore the site after the guided tour finished. After the Copán Ruins tour with Cesar and my free time exploring the site, I met back up with Kerim and he drove me into the nearby town where we got some lunch and then walked around for a little bit. We began the long drive back to San Pedro Sula around 4 pm and we got back around 8 pm, we were held up in traffic for about 1 hour due to road construction closing 1 lane but that wasn’t something we could control. Overall, I throughly enjoyed this tour and a big thanks to my tour guides Kerim and Cesar for making this day tour a great one! If you’re looking to visit the Copán Ruins while you’re visiting San Pedro Sula definitely don’t hesitate to book this tour, I highly recommend it! - Nolan

An amazing tour thanks mostly to Kerim - A fantastic tour from start to finish thanks mainly to Kerim who was an amazing guide. He was communicative and super friendly and passionate about what he does. We had a great day visiting two different ruins and Kerim was super informative. Would recommend him for any tour in Honduras as he really wants visitors to enjoy his country. He was so kind that he even took me free of charge to the airport the next day which he didn’t need to do

Wonderful day trip. - The trip with Kerim could not have been better. He was easy to communicate with before the trip and made sure that we saw everything that we hoped to see. I have visited several Mayan sites and these are spectacular, particularly the intricate carvings. the side trip to see the sunflowers was lovely.

A must see - Wow what a great trip Karim was such a great guide. Really took his time to make sure we had a great trip. The road is still under construction so the driving took much longer then expected but it was worth the drive for sure.

Wonderful experience in Honduras - Even though it is a long drive to and from the ruins, this was a terrific all day experience. The Copan ruins are amazing and we had time to make a few additional stops in the town of Copan Ruinas for a nice lunch, coffee, etc. Kerim is an amazing guide, with excellent communication prior to and during the trip. His driving was great, the van quite comfortable. He made sure we got a terrific, knowledable guide to take us through the ruins and did a great job planning the trip. I'd recommend to anyone with a spare day in SPS to book this trip.

Was overcharged for being only one on tour - First, it’s advertised at $185, but I was penalized and charged $295 because no one else signed up for the tour on my chosen date. Then there was NO warning of the winding roads and conditions (I get massive motion sickness) & not prepared to feel like crap for the several hours it takes to get there & back. Had I known beforehand, I could’ve taken meds. Driver also acted like he was F1 racer which made it worse, seatbelt buckle wasn’t there for me to strap in for safety & the entire ride back it was also severely raining in which he never slowed down. So not only did I get motion sickness again, but also was concerned for my safety. The ruins were great, but I had to explore on my own or pay extra for a guide inside (which I didn’t do considering I already paid $110 more). I was never given the option to upgrade my ticket to enter the tunnels within the ruins. I didn’t get to go to Macaw park as stated in tour ad. I was taken to sunflower fields instead for about 20 minutes. I tipped “guide” after, but shouldn’t have after I found out the “tour company” is only him and he was the one that overcharged me to begin with. Solo travelers should not be penalized when they have no control over how many other people sign up for the day tour. They should pay the exact same amount as everyone else when they are receiving the exact same tour. This was definitely overpriced Uber ride to the ruins. More cost effective to rent a car yourself and have more freedom to see more in the day.
