Go! - The canyon was spectacular and the guide spoke with authority in Spanish with occasional usage of his limited English.

Great experience, so worth it! - Great experience. What a stunning place to visit. The driver took care of everyone, I appreciated the time at each of the views and our boat journey down the river along the canyon was fantastic. And a lovely mix of people in our group.

Great value for the money, beautiful experience - TAKE YOUR TRAVEL MEDS if you’re like me and get sick in the car. This tour was a great value for the money. I personally didn’t care about the last stop in Chiapa de Corzo and would rather arrive to San Cris sooner but I enjoyed everything else. The canyon is a must see if you’re in San Cris or around, we also saw some crocodiles and monkeys and a lot of birds. Unfortunately it’s impossible to book an English guide if you’re a solo traveller like me but there was a couple who booked an English guide so I could ask him some things and I also speak a bit of Spanish (the guide on the boat is another guide who only speaks Spanish so if you can’t book an English guide who will translate you won’t understand. But it’s still a great experience.)

Día perfecto - Un día inolvidable, y la guía fue buena y honesta. El cañón es majestuoso y muy impresionante. Muchas gracias. (I am American but speak Spanish and the tour was completely in Spanish; I’m not sure how much translation there would or would not have been if I did not.)

best tour company in SCLC - cannot recommend enough. we went on two tours with this company and both were exceptional. on the first tour (06.01) i became sick and needed to leave early. our driver was incredibly understanding and drove us until we located a colectivo back to SCLC and explained the route. the next tour of the canyon (07.01) was breathtaking and our driver (edgar) was equally impressive. we had a great time, the drivers were always on time and ready to help. this tour company was the cheapest we found in SCLC and incredibly reliable. shout out!

Worthwhile day trip - I thought that this was a great day trip. Not too much driving like some of the other tours. Everything was punctual and ran smoothly. I was told when I booked that the lookouts were closed on Tuesday but we did stop at lookouts, which were beautiful. It is very hot on the boat and in Chiapas de Corzo. We saw crocodiles and monkeys. We had time for lunch and shopping before returning to San Cristobal. Be aware that most drivers don’t speak any English so it is useful to have some Spanish or you can ask other people on the bus to confirm times for you.

No English - We were not aware or informed that the tour is in Spanish only. Also after the boat trip we were dropped off for an hour and half to "explore" the city. The city has nothing to offer and restaurants there are horible, so prepare for doing nothing 90minutes after the tour.

Don’t go if you don’t speak Spanish - We didn’t know the guide only spoke Spanish, so we missed out on the majority of the info. The minibus was small and had no airconditioning. It was a very long drive, so that was not a pleasant experience. The canyon and viewpoints are beautiful, but you might as well book the boat tour by yourself. During the boat trip we stopped several times to look at monkeys, crocodiles, and nature. The canyon is stunning. The boat dropped us off in Chiapa da Corzo, which is very touristy and in our case: extremely hot. So we couldn’t wait to leave again. It was hard to find a place to eat that was not selling burgers. Would recommend visiting the canyon, but if you don’t speak Spanish I don’t recommend this tour.
