“Great time, great people and amazing food! We had a really good experience the entire day. Driver got us there and back safely, the guide (and his son) were so sweet. There were two other people in our group so it felt really personal and fun. Palenque and its people are beautiful. This is for sure a must do for anyone wanting to see and learn some more cultural history”

“This is a must see tour!! Do not come to Colombia without visiting Palenque!! The ride on the minivan was a bit crowded and tight, but the riders were very friendly!!”

“Romeo is an excellent guide and was a lot of fun to spend a half-day with, especially since he knew almost everyone in Palenque. We also enjoyed meeting and learning from Damaso, a local apprentice tour guide, as he took us around his hometown. Palenque itself is an awesome place full of beautiful art and people - I was sad to see that there weren't more tourists learning about this amazing free African town, the first in the Americas. I highly recommend visiting Palenque, especially with Romeo!”

“Miguel was a great tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about the area and he speaks enough English to where we didn’t need our translator. He explained everything as we went along and was with us the entire trip. He made sure the locals didn’t try to over charge us or hound us for tips. This excursion was worth it.”

“Visiting Palenque, the first black free community of the Americas, with Beyond Company was a deeply enlightening experience. Our exceptional driver, Luis, ensured a smooth and comfortable journey, while our phenomenal tour guide, Alberto, became our bridge to the town’s rich history. Alberto’s passion and knowledge illuminated the story of Palenque, from its roots as a refuge for escaped slaves to its vibrant culture today. Walking through the town, Alberto shared tales of resilience and freedom, painting a vivid picture of Palenque’s unique heritage. Beyond Company, with Luis and Alberto at the helm, provided not just a tour, but a profound journey into the heart of Palenque’s past and pres...”

“It was educational. The guides were great. We enjoyed Royman. Jesus was also great. They were there to answer questions and make sure we were enjoying the tour”

“This tour of Palenque was amazing! This was an eye opening cultural experience that will forever stay with me. There are other people that can give a tour but if you are blessed to have Sofia as your tour guide, you’re in for an unforgettable, fun and highly informative tour. Walking through Palenque you’d feel welcomed and the warmth of the people and enjoy the art of the scenery. It felt like a hidden gem in Colombia which in my opinion it is. Sofia kept us engaged throughout the whole tour. She took the best footage of my friends and I when we wanted to film or photos. She taught…”

“A very informative experience. With this group, we were not given bottled water or an umbrella to use. Due to the heat, the umbrella would have been nice.”

“This was one of THE BEST parts of my trip to Cartegena. It was probably the highlight. Victor was an amazing guide and brought knowledge and humor to us. Thank you to EVERYONE who shared their culture with us from the boxing, candy making, to the dancing! I would HIGHLY recommend this tour.”

“Het was erg leuk om door de mangroves te varen en te horen over hoe het daar werkt. We hebben een paar keer het visnet mogen uitgooien om te kijken hoe dat werkte en toen gingen we weer terug om te lunchen. Ik denk dat we niet een uur in de boot hebben gezeten en daarna hebben we nog niet een uur geluncht. Lunch was overigens top. De gids was erg gezellig en kon goed kletsen, maar ik merkte wel dat hij op tijd zat. Het was duidelijk dat hij nog een afspraak na ons had. Al met al was het de ervaring ten goede geweest als het iets minder…”
