This trip gave a nice background on the area . Tour guides made sure we knew what we were going to do and kept us safe . They provided us with plenty of water and some light snacks . The lunch point had good rice, beans which is vegan , and also had chicken . They gave us liquor to taste free of charge and we had time to explore the area . It’s a bumpy ride but they have a timeframe to keep . Overall worth it and would recommend .

This was a wonderful experience! My husband and I felt truly in awe of the history of this place and the sheer beauty of these structures. The bus picks you up at your resort and drives you to the spot and then from there you get lunch and go back to your resort. This tour is great if you're not trying to spend all day out there like some of the other tours. The only reason I give this a 4/5 stars is because the lunch spot offered a very small buffet of beans, rice, chicken, and a few sauces and the portions were pretty small. For the price of this tour I felt like the lunch could have included more options and just been better quality overall. Besides that, the tour guide Nestor was very knowledgeable and fun!
