Nice View in Chiapas

AnSong_K, Dec 2023

Super long bus ride but it is worth the drive for the amazing view of Chiapas!! However, the tour is missing the breakfast that was promised... In addition, even though we paid for english speaking tour, the driver did not know any english at all. We could not communicate with him AT ALL.... We waited for our meal until 5pm when we were brought to a restaurant where we had to pay for our meals. Although the tour at the archeological site is english, all the other part of the tour was in spanish and we had difficulty communicating basic needs to the driver.

Amazing driver, disappointing tour

Unnati_P, Mar 2023

Firstly, the driver we had all day, Javier, was really great! He did an amazing job driving for around 16hrs in the heat. Problems we had - We had booked for an English speaking guide for Palenque, but when we arrived they tried to charge us around 2300 MXN for it and said it was not included in the tour price. Additionally when we booked, the tour mentioned that breakfast was included - but it was not. This tour ran from around 3am to 1am the following day - so it’s around 21 hours. It’s a long long way to travel but worth it.

A below average tour

steven_z, Jul 2021

This bus tour took more than 19 hours from our hotel to Palenque. ( pick up at 3am and come back at 11 pm). We asked for an English tour, but we had to join with a Spanish speaking tour group. The driver does not speak English. No communication and translation to our need. However, the driver did a good job in driving, very skillful. The tour did not give us the lunch box as brochure listed.

The car driver and the guide who...

Salvino G, Aug 2016

The car driver and the guide who accompanied us in the tour were very nice. Instead the guide we found in Palenque was not exausted and we saw only a part of the site

Lugares hermosos

Amalia_G, May 2022

La zona arqueológica muy padre, las cascadas igual. Todo es bello de los lugares visitados. Una oportunidad a mejorar es la ruta debido a que es camino de muchas curvas y topes.
