Wonderful experience - It was a very interesting and informative experience that I enjoyed on my solo trip. Exciting dancing, visit with the herbalist and the lunch made it even more exciting! I would definitely recommend the tour with Romeo and his team and would love to attend again!

Great experience - This experienced truly embraced the culture. They gave a lot of facts about the villages and provided a lot of useful insight. As an black American with little knowledge of the Palenque history, this was very helpful

Worth the visit ! - Definitely worth the visit while in Cartagena. Our tour guide was named Romeo. He was very accommodating. He provided us with educational information about the Palenque culture and people. Shout out to Mr. John Salgado for also being hospitable while in Palenque! We went to the Batata school of dance and witnessed the cultural dances by the children. We also walked around the neighborhood, got to meet the local doctor and had herbal tea. Lunch was provided (I got the fish) and it was so delicious. Definitely worth the visit!
