Palenque Mayan site was phenomenal - To wander among the huge temples and pyramids with a personal tour guide was awesome. Getting to go into the red queens tomb was also a unique experience. The personal car ride to the site from Villahermosa was also extremely interesting and informative.

Safe, Reliable and Personal Service - I was very pleased with all aspects of this package. The company corresponded shortly after I booked it which made me feel secure about the trip. Our driver Reyes was on time and picked us up promptly at 7:00am from our hotel in Villahermosa. Very comfortable ride...however....be prepared for a long day on the road. It simply takes a while to get to Palenque. The roads are all good. Tolls are covered by the tour. Entrance to all the parks are included, as well as a guide at Palenque. We spent 2 hours getting to Palenque. About 2+ hours at the ruins. Our driver recommended a very nice restaurant in Palenque town and waited for us to finish, then drove us on to the Agua Azul Falls(Cascades). That was another 1 1/2 hours due to all of the mountain curves and toppes. Our driver waited for us at the Falls while we swam and hiked the area. Then drove us home (almost 3 hours) back to our hotel at 7:30pm. It's a long day so just be prepared. Everything was fabulous! Totally recommend this group. Safe. Good people.

A great guide! - Our driver (Reyes?) was FANTASTIC!! Not only was he affable, he was so accommodating and patient - not rushing us as we enjoyed exploring both the ruins and the city of Palenque. That guy is definitely an asset to your company! I would absolutely book a tour with you again, especially if I could somehow arrange for the same guide.

A wonderful tour - Juan was an attentive driver who had organised an English speaking guide for us at Planeque, a wonderful lunch at Agua Azul and helped us get the most out of our Agua Azul visit. He was very patient and understanding with our children, guided us in the markets and gave us a memorable and enjoyable day.

Incredible Visit - Our guide, Juan Carlos, was awesome. I made an error in my booking and he was able to adjust the date of my trip without any problem. We drove from Villahermosa to Paenque by car, it took around 2 hours. The site is insane. Chichen Itza pales in comparison to this site. We had a guided tour of the site, which was ok. It was more enjoyable just exploring on our own for a bit. We then visited Aqua Azul and Misol Ha waterfalls. The entire trip was amazing. Safe, fun, and memorable. I recommend this trip to anyone who happens to be South/Central Mexico.
