This experience was amazing. As a Jamaican- American, I saw and learned many parallels to my culture. Everything shown to us embodied the heart and spirit of the people from the 1st free black town in the Americas.
What an amazing day learning about this amazing place and it's history. I would tell anyone that if time is short do this trip. It's also an opportunity to have your picture taken with the Palenquera women without the stress of haggling in the walled city. The lunch was amazing too. Thanks to Romero for a great day.
The experience was amazing. Romeo was a thorough and thoughtful guide. Everyone made us feel welcome and we learned so much about the beautiful history of Palenque. The tour was a mix of upbeat, fun moments like dancing class and photos with adequate time spent on the deep roots and history of the city. We saw lots of beautiful murals including the most popular, I Love Being Black, mural. The only caveat I would keep in mind is if you are staying outside of the walled city, there is no hotel pick up regardless of what your reservation might say.
The experience was fun! Great translations and food. I felt close to the culture. The hosts are very funny too. Definitely would do this again.
