Amazing experience ! - We did 3 excursions and this was by far the best one we’ve ever experienced. Our tour guide was Moises Abraham. He was the best! His lived experience of the community gave us more reverence for the people of Palenge. It was informative, beautiful, and just what we needed during our trip! 5 stars to Moises Abraham ⭐️

Worth the trip to Palenque! - Our tour with Royman was excellent from beginning to end. He arranged for our transport from Cartagena. The communication from both Royman and our driver, Armando, was great. On the tour, Royman was very energetic and had the right personality for us. He lives right there in Palenque and was able to add an extra personal touch to our experience. We're grateful to him for sharing his community with us. Ata ugo bega! P.S. I forgot to mention how delicious lunch was... yummy!!

The Special People of Palenque - This was an amazing tour and very educational. Royman, our tour guide was from Palenque which made the tour even better as he was able to really explain the history and tell interesting stories about the people, culture and the community. The sites visited in the village provided a story at every turn making for a very interesting experience. It was my birthday and Royman told everyone and all the people around danced, sang happy birthday in their special way helping me celebrate my special day. It was a joyful time that I will never forget. We enjoyed every moment spent at the village. It is a must see tour,
