Kerim was a fantastic guide. We wanted to learn about Mayans and Honduras today, and he certainly delivered and exceeded our expectations.
First he took us to El Puente which sets the stage for the incredible Mayan civilization and helped us understand the context of the Mayans in the broader Central American world. At the main site he made sure that we had the best professional guide who patiently answered all of our questions and stayed with us right up until the place closed.
Kerim also understands the importance of timing for an optimal experience. He took us to the Hot Springs, ensuring that we arrived at sunset so that we could experience the magical place all to ourselves without crowds. He took us to the macaw sanctuary in the early morning when the birds are feeding quietly and are easy to observe.
We took up his suggestion to take a loop route back to San Pedro Sula from Gracias and La Esperanza, giving us the opportunity to see the incredible beauty of the Honduran countryside, visit a small coffee farm and café, and experience the Lenca world.
Along the way we learned about Honduras today and the incredible difficulties that the country is dealing with.
Most importantly Kerim is a very safe and cautious driver, his car is spotless, he keeps extra bottled water available at all times. We felt that he took incredible care of us, and that we were with a trusted friend at all times.
So yes, five stars for Kerim!
