Having lunch afterwards with "the ladies" in a small village was the icing on the cake. If you like getting submerged in local colors and flavors, this tour's definitely for you!...

I couldn’t be more impressed with the quality of this tour experience! Edder is a phenomenal guide. His knowledge was top shelf. His English is really tremendous, and we felt so much better educated on the area, culture, traditions and community having taken this tour. We felt safe and came away well informed, as well as fortunate for our experiences.We especially liked the guide's narrative of the history of the Mayan people and their religion. We also enjoyed the meal in a Mayan home and learning of their culture.

Great photos. Our guide Edden was very knowledgeable and explained everything. The visit to the Mayan family with lunch was excellent too. Great food with natural spices
