What a great tour. Catherine was our guide to Palenque and Sophia did the local history tour part. The history of the village was explained and the walking tour was well done. The stops in the village with the explanations were great and the people we met we friendly. Lunch was out of this world.

This tour is a must. Cesar (our tour guide) was funny, informative, and considerate. Whatever we needed during the tour, we got (water, shelter from the sun, food—all of it). We got picked up in a spacious and air conditioned van, and on the way to Palenque, Cesar told us about the city and had amazing food and nightlife recommendations for the rest of our time in Cartagena). Once we got to Palenque, we were met by a tour guide from the town who shared so much about the history, the culture, the music, the food, and their affinity to boxing. We saw a group of young folks perform a few traditional dances, picked up some souvenirs, walked around the town, met an elder who makes candy and pastries (the SWEETEST older auntie who had a few samples for us), and got a quick boxing lesson. Also—food was AMAZING (fish was delicious). Overall, everyone we met was incredibly welcoming and kind. 10/10 recommend this experience.
