    Good views could be better guide

    Gin, Mar 2026
    The trip was good, quite smooth. However, the guide was a bit off point, a lot of going into details and not giving enough bigger picture. Also the English wasn't great, so often couldn't understnad well. The breakfast was delicious and 200MXN was allocated for lunch, which is enough to buy a dish in the restaurant. Amazing views at Calakmul and amazing to climb the pyramids. However, sometimes it felt rushed as the guide (our private group of 3) didn't really wait and kept going, so some of the things he said was missed. Also, not enough to enjoy the views and admire the buildings. We skipped a lot of buildings as well, not enough time to read the posters about objects. Howevver, guide did well changing flat tyre and geting as home safely.

    The ruins you can’t forget.

    Both Calukmul and Balamkuwere amazing sites. We got to see several local animals on our way to and from Calukmul. While that isn’t promised it sure was special. Getting to the top of one of the temples in Calukmul afforded us the opportunity to see a monkey! Also an incredible view of the complex and surrounding forest. Balancing was a shorter trips with a big payoff that I won’t spoil. Afterwards lunch/dinner was delicious, and well earned. The drive is long if you only go for one day, but worth it. Our guide was Willberth. He was amazing. A soft spoken gentleman with a passion for the natural world and human history. Couldn’t recommend this more. Went in the rainy season, had both sites to ourselves.

    Great tour with a great guide!

    We had a great time on this tour! Willberth has an excellent knowledge about the archeology and wildlife. Definitely can recommend to go with this tour operator!
