I really appreciated being able to experience, and learn first hand, about the Palenque town and people. It was a great experience. The bus ride there and back was a little rough, but everything else was amazing!

This was truly an amazing experience. Learning the history of this IMPORTANT town was everything to me. It’s imperative we do not forget. All of the tour guides were so kind, the dance performance was so fun as well. The lunch was 10/10!! I would recommend this to anyone visiting the country who appreciates true history and culture preservation.
Great experience, don’t miss out.

What a great experience! The tour is very manageable despite the heat that we’re not accustomed to back home. The guides were friendly, informative, and helped curate a great tour. The food we received for lunch was also superb.
Great Times in Palenque!

Good times. Our guides stayed with us at all times, shared info in at least three different languages, connected using hometown knowledge and jokes, and did all of the things needed to make our time comfortable (ex handing out umbrellas and water to beat the heat, etc). Roméo was our primary guide and was a blast from the start. He made attempts to connect with everyone on our tour and openly shared his experience and knowledge. The younger guides (Juan David, Damaso, and Little John) are clearly a strong part of the program, chatting everyone up and making sure all of our questions were answered. We had a great time and highly recommend the tour!
