Marie was a great tour guide, and Miguel ensured our safety as the driver. The site talk was informative but took too long in the heat. But, the site was only half excavated.

Recommend-as of 6/22-Our guide was amazing! He really made the day fun. We learned so much about the Mayans and how the culture lives on. Then we went to the village. We learned more about surrounding villages, history, and watched our authentic and delicious lunch be prepared by the beautiful women. You will be back to meet the cruise.
