Wonderful and Unique Black History Tour - The tour was amazing! There was so much history to learn and stories to hear. The buildings are beautifully emblazoned in artistic murals that highlight the history of the community. The natural healing hut and the music studio were highlights of the tour as they were very interactive. I would 100% recommend this tour.

Amazing - This was an amazing experience, one I will always remember. I recommend doing your research first to see if this resonates with you- it’s not Disney. It’s real, authentic, primitive and simply amazing.

Authentic Introduction to the Culture - Visiting Palenque was the most exciting experience. The people are so warm and cheerful, Everyone was smiling. Visiting the music studio of the famous local group was great and they even coached us into a performance with them. The trip was full of fun and our guide Moises was the absolute best. He even taught us some of the language. I had the fish choice for lunch. It was so delicious. I highly recommend this experience. It's an authentic introduction to the culture.

Amazing Palenque Experience - Great experience! Palenque is a beauty place with beautiful people and a very rich history. The tour allowed us to get a first-hand experience of the beautiful village; from learning different word meaning to making rice, and lastly, enjoying the delicious meal. I enjoyed my tour and would love to visit again in the future.
