Top Palenque Private & Custom Tours

Truly a beautiful experience. The guide was very informative and helpful. I was able to experience the site with understanding. We had time to explore the Maya Jungle Experience next to the site. Incredible experience.

Inpressive site! Mildred was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable about the site. Also gave lots of great recommendations. Would recommend!

The visit to the ruins was spectacular - Carlos our guide was super knowledgeable, had lots of interesting facts and it was nice to see the place through his expert eyes. Our driver was really great, always driving responsibly and giving us cool tips about Palenque and restaurants. Lastly, the waterfalls were simply magestic, we were recommended to spend more time in Cascadas Agua Azul which was the right choice.

Enjoyed the private our to all three sites. Had a driver which took me to all three and then an English speaking guide at Palenque who was good. Explained things well, took good photos and overall enough time spent. The driver gave me enough time at both waterfall sites and drove very well. Enjoyed the day trip!

Super beautiful ruins that you can still climb with spectacular views. We did this together with a jungle tour. Only viewed the tour for the jungle and the ruins themselves. Not as busy as chichen itza. The jungle here is also very cool with wild howler monkeys. Bring enough water!

Carlos was very knowledgeable. We had been to the ruins the day before, and we did a lot of reading before we came. We still learned a lot. He spoke a Mayan language as well as Spanish and English. We've wanted to see Palenque for decades, and this trip met our high expectations.

Although slightly off the beaten path in the Chiapas region it's definitely worth either driving to or taking a guided tour. The Temple of the inscriptions, Acropolis and the Temple of the Red Queen are without a doubt worth a visit! If going on your own I recommend taking the second entrance farther up you'll thank me later! There are bathrooms, drinks and food vendors available on site as well as parking for 50 pesos

The whole experience was amazing. My guide - Hector - was really great. He explained things to me about the Mayas that hadn’t been clear to me from previous tours to other Maya ruins, he knew a lot, he explained really well and he was just enthusiastic and fun to be with. We spent a lot of time at the ruins and arrived early enough to have nice light and no crowds. I liked how the jungle took over and interacts with the ruins. We then visited the two waterfalls. The first one is higher but smaller and you can walk behind it. The Aqua Azul is huge. Both are impressive. I had all the time I wanted for wandering around, taking photos, soaking up the view. We finished with fresh great fish at a restaurant and watching the last part of the Brazil-Serbia world cup game which was also great. Overall a wonderful tour.

The best of the Mayan ruins I visited, easily beat Chichén Itzá. There was more to see than just lots of boulders piled on top of each other and there wasn't the same hysterical trade around the ruins. It was possible to see more carved figures etc in the ruins. Also had to climb up into some ruins.

The exposed ruins are only a small part of the total archeological ruins. The site offers the opportunity to walk around the ruins and in the jungle around the unexcavated sites and see jungle animals. It has not been excavated to the extent of other ruins. There is a small museum with some nice artifacts.

Joyce was wonderful! He was there for us in every way. Joyce was also very knowledgeable, but also gave us our space when needed. The private tour is really nice for such a long trip.

Palenque is such a nice place to visit. We stayed the night before in a hotel nearby so we were able to visit Palenque in the morning, before all the tourists arrive from Villahermosa, San Cristobal and Tuxtra Gutierrez. Also, since it is located in the jungle, visiting in the morning allowed us to miss the hot and humid weather. Only 2% of the ruins have been discovered so it is impossible to imagine how the place looked hundred of years ago. Due to the pandemic, no one can climb the ruins to avoid being too close to others but still, the ruins are amazing from the ground. The trails through the jungle are great too and you can see cascades and rivers. If you take bananas, you will not be able to get rid of the monkeys! Hire one of the guides once you enter the ruins area, much better price and you can help locals.

We had the privilege of taking a private tour that started in Playa Azul and Misol Ha for a day, and returned to San Cristobal de Las casas fir tge night, incredible experience. Next day we took a tour to Palenque and The waterfalls of Roberto Barrios, but decided to spend the night in the jungle so we could enjoy a night with that spectacular nature. It was amazing waking up at 4am with the profound noise of wild monkeys and lots and lots of birds. Amazing!For the Palenque ruins tour, the jungle and Roberto Barrios waterfalls we had the great privilege of having Mr. Cruz, Fidel as our private guide (+52 916 119 5933) who went beyond of our expectations. A native guy from the jungle who is extremely prepared, experienced in excavations and history, who explained everything on detail. Not only gave us information but interacted to the most with 2 little children 6 and 4 y/o answering every question and interacting also in his mative language. After doing the ruins we paid for the tour to the jungle...while the other tour guides were asking if anybody found an animal to see; Fidel took us little inside away from the road and found the monkeys for as to observe, the snakes and other type of insects and birds. Our experience was top noch with him and so worthy. Our guide Fidel recommended us a hotel in the jungle where we had a blast.. unforgettable experience. Thank you to our Achih guide Fidel, who made this experience to remember and I will come back for more and will recommend to everyone. Turistica Fidel could pick you up from the airport and offer you packages. Get in touch with him ahead through WhatsApp or by Facebook

Palenque ruins are very impressive. The waterfalls of Misol Ha and Agua Azul are definitely worth the drive.

Amazing, private tour from San Cristobal to Palenque with stops at Agua Azul & Misol-ha waterfall on the way. We opted for 2 days & 1 night because of all the driving we didn't want to be rushed or spend 7+ hours in the car in one day. Our driver & guide Guillermo was incredible - definitely the highlight of the trip. He's been working as a guide locally for 20+ years and knew so much about Mayan history + all the other random questions we threw at him throughout the trip. His English was perfect. The car which the agency provided was very comfortable. The hotel we stayed at in Palenque was okay, definitely a little outdated, but it did the job (+had AC which was a must) and the grounds in which the hotel is located on are beautiful. Overall, 10/10 for the trip. Everything we saw was beautiful and would definitely recommend!

We had a special private tour with Hector as our guide. It was fabulous. He was extremely knowledgeable about the site and Mayan culture overall. A do not miss experience! Especially with Hector. His English is perfect. A totally enjoyable day.
