Powerful Palenque - This was the highlight of my trip! I enjoyed every moment of it and my guides were great. Thank you Romeo, Damesom and John Alec! Don't miss the medico for a blessing and the boxing gym for a quick lesson!

Everything and More! - Romeo was great! Before I go into how awesome he was, I need to give background. At first, I was skeptical because I'm a Black woman solo traveling (and I had a scary encounter the previous day, so I wasn't sure what to expect). All the reviews were favorable, so it put my mind at ease. Romeo was very nice. He wanted to get to know everyone and where they came from, so he could provide a soundtrack for our ride there. He also gave background information on the city and the people of Palenque as we were heading to the tour. He was patient with us all. And he's funny. I know he said something slick when I was taking pictures, haha. Anywho, it was a great tour and they included delicious food. Get ready to dance, enjoy and learn about the first free city that still celebrates its African heritage. The people were so kind and welcoming. I felt at home with my people. I could say so much more, but experience it for yourself. It's worth traveling here!

Hidden History... - The tour was great and very informative. I actually wish I had more time here. I'll definitely come back again and see the places that I missed here due to time. Romeo was the perfect guide. Book now and get fed some soul food from the people of Palenque.

Visiting Palenque is an unforgettable experience - A Must-Do Tour in Palenque! If you’re traveling to Palenque, this tour is an absolute must! Romeo is a true professional and incredibly knowledgeable about the rich history and culture of the area. He made the experience both engaging and unforgettable. To top it off, the lunch was hands down the best food I’ve had in Colombia—fresh, flavorful, and authentically Colombian. Don’t miss out on this exceptional experience!

Palenque tour - Roman was my tour guide he did a wonderful job as a translator and guide. He’s upbeat personality kept the tour very lively, it was very informative and fun at the same time. Joh did a fantastic job telling the group about the history of the town and people of Palenque. Definitely book them if you have the opportunity to tour Palenque you won’t regret it.
