Amazing. It was very informative and interactive. It was just very hot so be mindful of that. Wear comfortable shoes, a hat and bring a portable fan and water.
Loved seeing Palenque and learning of its history and culture!
It took us almost three hours from the time we met at the designated location to finally be on the way out of Cartagena. It was a poorly coordinated pickup which could have been avoided if everyone met in one location and headed out from there. We were later delayed even more when there was an unexpected roadblock which held up traffic longer. We had no air conditioning in a small van with 17 people crammed in. The actual content of the tour was minimal and honestly not enough to justify such a long time getting there and back. I expected a lot more from this tour to learn more history and culture. All four of us in our group became sick the next day we believe from the lunch on the tour. Not a good experience and I really wish I didn’t spend the time and money. We are all still feeling sick days later.
The tour was amazing, filled with lots of fun, historical information on Palenque and many friendly people who allowed us to immerse in their culture and experience the Palenque way.
It was incredible! The people, the vibe, the guide, and the energy were unique. I highly recommend it.
The food was great; chicken breast. I am also gluten sensitive and did not have an issue
Amazing experience! Great tour guides… amazing lunch stop and tons of historical information. I would definitely book again!
Great tour, Gustavo is a great driver and romeo is a great tour guide. We learned so much and meeting new people was a plus. Very educational, the lunch was great and plenty of options to chose from.
Romeo, Juan David & John Alex did an amazing tour! Would love to see Palenge again with them!
Good experience, learned a lot about the history regarding the town & how impactful it is to the Black diaspora.
