Copan Ruins Overnight Trip from Guatemala City

Thought was group tour, turns up we were only ones— while website kept advertising likely to fill up soon over and over. Tour driver shows up and doesn’t know how to open trunk because it was a rental—- not much talking or no music on 5 hour journey to Copan—- got there and asked for suggestion as to what to do first— he suggested bird park. Did the reserve, then headed to hotel— hotel people had this “indifference “ attitude( made us feel they were doing us a favor). Did Copan tour next morning and Copan was great. When finished tour time driver told us there was a problem— road blockade protest and that road leading out of there was blocked and probs not open til 4:30 pm —- so he had us waiting in blockade line for 5 hours in the car— he refused to advance in front of big trailers as the other traffic did, even though we asked him why all the car traffic was advancing and he remained put behind the big rigs — we surmised he was not a skilled, confident driver and an inexperienced tour guide. We feel the tour agency should have known about the blockade in advance and could have varied the tour and insisted we do Copan first upon getting there and the reserve very early the next morning and maybe could have bypassed all the blockade experience. For the $750 that we paid for this——the tour agency really did not meet our expectations for the cost of the experience

Wonderful place ! If you are interested in Maya history this is a non miss trip We highly recommend this Tour, and already recommended to fellow travelers!
