Palenque A Trip Worth Taking - Absolutely the best part of my trip to Colombia. Sofia our tour guide, was great. She made us feel so at home. So knowledgeable. My husband and I are both in our Seventies, she was so kind and attentive. An experience, I will not soon forget. You are never too old to learn!!! Of all the places I visited in Colombia, I felt the safest .

Give the drummer some - I enjoyed learning about the different medicines used in palengue, the performances but the drummer and singer, but most of all Afroneto’s drum shop! He taught me a multiple of rhythms (I'm a drummer too) and we had a couple of impromptu performances myself! My spirit felt connected to the land as i was playing.

Amazing!! - Let me start with Victor is absolutely amazing! He and his family were very professional, friendly and attentive. There were 3 lunch options: pork tenderloin, chicken and black snapper. The black snapper was amazing and you can tell it was made with love. The dancers were very entertaining and it was fun to join them in their native dances as well. Do not miss this tour, you will regret it.

Must do when in Cartagena! - Victor was such a delight, good English, very kind, and informative. Palenque is so rich in history, my favorite part was the delicious food, we chose the fish, and second was dancing with the locals !! I've read reviews where people said it's not much for what you pay, I beg to differ. we rode in a comfortable Mercedes air conditioned van, the distance from cartagena is 1.5 hours each way!! delicious fruit salad was offered for breakfast, water was provided, and lunch was plentiful and was served in a timely manner. we also got to try some local sweets made fresh. I would definitely do it again if I had the chance. also we were NOT harassed for tips but I was delighted to tip these lovely locals who welcomed us in their beautiful town!!!

Phenomenal tour - I absolutely loved my experience on the Palenque History Tour. Our tour guide was insightful and the people of Palenque were so welcoming and vibrant. It was such a special day that I will cherish forever.

Loved this tour!!! - This was an amazing tour it literally felt like a mini wakanda. There was so much culture and history here to soak up, not to mention the food was amazing!!!

Palenge tour was so... - Palenge tour was so beautiful! Victor was an amazing tour guide. I would definitely recommend visiting this town in Colombia.

It was a great history tour but what are the future plans for Palenque & where do the contributions go. - It was great learning about the history, the culture, their native dances and the food of the Palenque village. The lunch was excellent. Our tour guide (Victor) did a wonderful job. At the dance ceremony the English translator was a bit rude after the ceremony, he seemed to be motivated by money/tips/donations. The tour was $100+ US dollars, I’m curious to know how much of that goes to the Palenque village. Hopefully in 5 to 10 years there will be some great improvements.

Beautiful but long. - It is the most beautiful place, with the most beautiful people. One of the best experiences of my life. But the tour could be cut so much shorter. Some conversations could be had on the 2 hour drive. Go straight to performances, take the neighborhood walk, have lunch and return. No need for all the waiting. Some of the time spent waiting was unnecessary.

Not worth the money - I enjoyed the fresh food that we prepared by one of the chefs at village. I had the fish that was cooked in coconut milk
