A great guide!

Brandelyn_A, Apr 2021
Our driver (Reyes?) was FANTASTIC!! Not only was he affable, he was so accommodating and patient - not rushing us as we enjoyed exploring both the ruins and the city of Palenque. That guy is definitely an asset to your company! I would absolutely book a tour with you again, especially if I could somehow arrange for the same guide.

Response from Host, May 2021

Dear Brandelyn, I really appreciate all your comments, I´m glad you spent a great time with us, if you decide to come back please contact us requesting the same guide and for sure we will do our best to send him again as your guide. Have a great day! Hope to see you soon!

Perfect Day

Juan was an attentive driver who had organised an English speaking guide for us at Planeque, a wonderful lunch at Agua Azul and helped us get the most out of our Agua Azul visit. He was very patient and understanding with our children, guided us in the markets and gave us a memorable and enjoyable day.
