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.

Great experience and long live memories - Great day tour to Copán ruins. I had been there before but it was the first time for my daughter and we love everything of the tour. Kerim is an excellent tour guide, he is knowledgeable, responsible, respectful and he went above and beyond making sure we had a great time . He was on time to pick us up at the hotel. We had a great delicious breakfast and then we headed to the ruins, we made a stop to El puente which I had never visited before so it was a nice surprise, at the ruins we had a local amazing tour guide Cesar. We visited the museum and then the Copán ruins town. We did not feel rush at any time Kerim gave us our space and safely took us back to our hotel. I definitely recommend him if you want to have an excellent Copán ruins tour. Thank you Kerim from Sussy and Ángela.

Excellent experience - The Copan ruins are a wonderful place and are worth visiting with this tour. The service is excellent (cordiality, punctuality, vehicle comfort, recommendations, knowledge of the place and the guides, stops for food, etc.) The trip to the ruins is very pleasant, and it will be shorter when some remaining sections finish the new route. Both Kerim and the guide hired at the archaeological site provided me with a lot of information and enriching comments for the experience.

Amazing Day! - erim is an incredible guy and great ambassador for his country. The tour was a 10/10. I did the Copán ruins day trip from San Pedro Sula. I was the only person and I’m generally not too conversational but he kept me engaged the entire day, (5 hour drive each way). His English is great and he’s also able to provide great historical context on his country and all candid topics up to the present day. I learned heaps about Honduras. On the way back i was sleepy and he made sure to give me peace to rest. Kerim’s communication throughout the booking process was prompt and professional which eased any concerns i had about making such an ambitious trip with such short timeframe to work with. This far exceeded every other tour group i contacted on my one week journey. I would highly recommend Kerim as a guide. I could tell he was honorable through our 10 hours of conversation and any solo female travelers would feel comfortable and safe with him. We even worked out a deal for an airport transfer the next morning since i had an early flight and didn’t want to risk finding a taxi. Have no doubts, if you book a tour with icatracho tours you will have an amazing experience!

Copan is beautiful - It has been a wonderful experience traveling to Honduras. The last day I took the tour from San Pedro to Copán and it was the finishing touch to the trip through these magnificent lands. Highly recommended, very comfortable, with the best guide and company possible, many thanks to Kerim for his attention, his conversation, respect and good treatment. All the information he gave us was very assertive and useful, we learned a lot on this trip of exploration of Mayan history. The archaeological parks are totally worth it, going there left us amazed, as well as the landscapes, climate, coffee and food of Copán. If I had the opportunity I would return without a doubt.

Great Tour of Copan but be prepared for long drive! - Kerim is a fantastic guide. He is nice, kind and flexible to accommodate and suggest how to change plans to make things better. My incoming flight was missed so instead of arriving at 7pm I got in at 3am so what does he suggest? Picking me up at airport at 3am instead of my hotel at 5am and off we go. Turned out to be a genius move. We had a great day and it was a great tour of Copan. Only thing to know which was unexpected is you will want to pay $30 for a local guide of Copan and $15 to go into tunnels since that isn’t included. No complaints. Hopefully when you go they will have the damn road finished since it is a LONG drive with traffic and construction blocking one direction. Be prepared to spend a small lifetime in the car but you can sleep and enjoy Kerim’s knowledge of Honduras. I can’t think of a guide with a better attitude and disposition. Thanks Kerim!!

Copan is with Kerim is a Treasure - This was one of the most memorable days of my life. My guide, Kerim, ask gave me a few options and I asked to do everything...he made it possible! We had a very early start because Copan is VERY far from San Pedro Sula, but we took a rest for a breakfast of great Honduran food in a comfortable restaurant. We then arrived at El Puente, which alone made the trip worthwhile. We then visited Las Sepultura before stopping for lunch and having local beer and coffee. We then went to the Copan museum, explored the tunnels, and wonder throughout the majestic ancient ruins. Kerim has a lot of experience and knew how to make the day more and more amazing.
