    The organisation of the tour was great, very reliable. The guides were quite knowledgeable and nice to talk to. Got to see everything I wanted in Chiapas, nature, Maya sits and got to spend some time in San Cristóbal de las Casas. You get to spend three different days with different people and partially different guides, so as a side advantage you get to know different people along the way. The other people on the tour were a nice mix of Mexican and overseas tourists, younger and older. Was the perfect tour for me.

    This trip is equal parts natural beauty and ancient history/ ruins. The waterfalls and lakes were beautiful. They would be great places to spend time in the water. If you have never seen Myan ruins, these are impressive. You should know this is not a tour where you will have a guide with you for your trip. There will be a different guide, driver and group of people will be with you each day. This is English and Spanish so you may not be able to communicate effectively with your fellow travelers. We drank only water we purchased and yet many of us got sick. I think it was the roadside eating places that were lacking. When you have Montezuma’s revenge it is difficult to enjoy a sigh that requires some hiking in the hot sun with no toilet in sight. We had a 3:30 am, 5:30 am and two 6:30 am pickup times. Our driver was always 20 to 35 minutes late. This is not a restful vacation. Some of the sights we visited required vigorous hiking on uneven terrain. Some of the guests struggled.
