Traveler reviews
Incredible 🤩
Everything was super nice, Dani was super friendly and a very good guide. Everything great. 🫶🏼 I loved. You should come visit this place, it's gorgeous.
Armando is an excellent...
Armando is an excellent and knowledgeable guide. He provided great information and historical context to help us understand all that we saw during the day. He also shared his general knowledge about the region as someone raised in the area.
Tour with Carlos
What a great tour! Carlos is packed full of knowledge to share. Very interesting. Carlos spent time answering our questions. We’d definitely recommend Carlos and this tour!
Very successful tour!
It was a very nice and educational tour! The food in a hotel was also super delicious. You noticed that Chanty has a lot of knowledge about the Mayan ruins and is passionate about it. It was completely successful and I would recommend the tour at any time 😊
Great tour, great guide
Good tour, the combination of jungle + ruins is perfect. Shanty is a great guide with a super positive attitude. One recommendation though: - at lunch, the food was great, no complaints there, but going to a fancy resort hotel for lunch, feels off for this culture-themed tour. Would have preferred lunch in a more... authentic, down-to-earth setting, possibly supporting a local business.
