Your Plotpackers experiences, in your words.

Saanai Brown – October 2024

The trip was so well thought out and planned very well, not having to worry about transportation or entrance tickets was genuinely a phenomenal experience and it made the whole trip feel seamless. Along with affordability considering how much was packed in, from accommodations—which were very clean and had within them many other fun activities included for guests—, and some meals being included, the excursions selected were invaluable and I’m so happy to have been lucky to be lead on a group trip with Sandra and Maria, two great leaders who helped keep order and were very detailed in what the itinerary entailed, answering any questions and resolving any questions or concerns. I’m really happy to have this experience with plotpackers, Maria and Sandra. I would do it all again!

Adam Lange – September 2024

I’m so glad I decided to get out of my comfort zone and go on the most incredible weekend trip of my life. Thank you to Plotpackers and especially our guide Maria for making the experience so wonderful and for introducing me to 9 new best friends. I would definitely recommend booking a trip, you will not regret it.

Elizabeth Shiels – August 2024

My experience with Plotpackers was surreal! There was a good blend of activities, along with free days where the group could venture out and explore!! The tour guide Olman was incredibly helpful and kind and was always there if we needed him. Could not recommend Plotpackers enough!!
