    Please keep following in mind: 1). You are going to be traveling with a new and random group of people for every day of the "Experience". 2). Most of the group will be local Spanish speaking people, which is not a problem except that your guide will not be able to focus too much on explaining things to you. It is a huge advantage to be Spanish speaking on this tour. 3). Do not fall the trap of upgrading the hotel. You will be disappointed. We paid an extra fee that was higher than the actual cost of 4 star hotels and still ended up in the same hotels as everyone else. If you can book the hotels yourself. 4). You will be taken to places to eat that are basically cafeterias and more like truck stops. This is not a problem in and of itself since you get to immerse yourself in the life of regular people you will be traveling with. However, if you expect a gastronomic experience you will need to search that out for yourself (there are plenty of options in your free time.) 5). The scheduling is not very efficient. On Day 2 we visited local villages and were home by 3pm. On Day 3 we were driving for 8! hours and came home at 9:30pm which gave us no opportunity to have a nice dinner since on Day 4 we had to get up at 3:30am to drive 8 hours to Palenque. It would have made a lot more sense to switch the activities of Day 2 with Day 3! 6). The long drives are NOT very comfortable. The vans had very uncomfortable seats and were packed. 7). The redeeming qualities were the sights (Gorgeous!), the people (welcoming and friendly), the drivers (professional and helpful). 8). Bring mosquito spray to Palenque. A lot of mosquito spray!
