Great Tour/Hot bus

Published on Jun, 2024

Was an informative tour. Enjoyed Joel's information on the ruins. The local Mayan cooked food was delicious. Even thought there were thousands of people at the port because of 2 ships in port that day. The tour was run well as not to feel so crowded. Only draw back which is not the tour operators fault is that it is very hot this time of the year. The a/c on the bus was having a difficult time with the group of 18 on the bus keeping us cool and it takes 1 hr or more each way.

Great excursion

Lorenzo was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable. The food in village was excellent. Loved looking at ruins.

Authentic bridge of the ancient to modern Mayan

Published on Dec, 2023

What an amazing experience! We wanted to visit the Mayan ruins to learn the history of this ancient civilization and jumped at the chance to visit the community decendents and share lunch. What we got was so much more educational, as our excellent tour guides, especially Joel, explained the culture of this community as it was passed down from his ancestors. We were given history from the Mayan perspective as they lived it in 500 bc. We were transported to looking at the site from the eyes of the Mayan people as they knew it before officially discovery was recorded. Then topping it off with a delicious authentic Mayan lunch, we are beyond pleased with our experience.

Must do with Joel

Wonderful excursion

Published on Oct, 2023

It was not only experiencing the ruins, it was also getting to experience an authentic Mayan village and enjoy a home cooked meal in a Mayan home.
