This experience functions as a simple, all-in-one pass for your full day in San Basilio de Palenque. One booking covers your guided visit in town and shared guiding services, so you are not arranging separate pieces on your own. Roundtrip transport between your hotel and Palenque is included, and your selected option determines whether a typical local lunch is included. An optional African drum dance show can be joined on the spot, giving you extra choice on the day.
Seamless activation
Your booking confirmation serves as your pass for the tour. After you complete your purchase, you receive all essential details by email, including pickup information for the roundtrip transfer from your hotel. You simply present your confirmation to the local bilingual guide at pickup, who checks your chosen option with or without lunch. Any optional African drum dance show is arranged directly with the guide during the visit, subject to availability and extra cost. The experience is valid only for the specific date you select at checkout. For example, if you book for the 15th, you need to join the tour on that date, since rescheduling follows the provider's rules and availability.
