Booking our tour was handled very well by VisitCalakmul. They responded very quickly to our questions. They also gave us a lot of information, including the road which has many potholes along the route, and the prices to access the site. Everything was simple, fast and adapted to our requests. Our guide, Roberto, was very punctual and speaks English fluently. Before visiting the site, we took a morning walk in the jungle. Roberto gave us many explanations about animals and plants. He really knows a lot about the Calakmul biosphere and in addition, he was very patient with us every time we stopped to look at the monkeys, the trees, and then the archaeological site. Roberto took the time to explain the different Mayan dynasties to us, which we really appreciated. He was very enthusiastic about sharing information and answering our questions. The Calakmul site and its jungle are exceptional. We were lucky to have gone there and also with Roberto.

The tour we had with Roberto was excellent! His knowledge of the site and the jungle flora and fauna was brilliant, and we were able to see a lot of different birds and animals. The tour around the Calakmul site was the best we had on our trip around Mexico!

I popped into the tourist information office in Xpujil to ask for advice about other sites in the area, beside Calakmul, and how to prioritise them. I came out with soooo much more. Anabel explained all the sites and their respective advantage and unique characteristics, as well as other places to visit such as handicraft workshops together with members of a local community. Saying that I wanted no more than information, I came out with a guide booked for Calakmul, which went exactly as she had described. Anabel’s information was accurate in every respect. Her advice to visit Balamku after exiting Calakmul was genius, well worthwhile visiting. She recommended Becan above other sites local to Xpujil , and of about 25 Mayan sites that is suddenly my favourite. I also visited the ruins at El Hormiguero and Xpujil , but will be back with my family to show them all I saw and do it all through Anabel. Oh, and information offered without any apparent expectation of payment of pressure to book anything.
