    The journey was amazing as was the guide Rameses. His knowledge and passion for Mexico is remarkable. We travelled in a small bus which was not suitable for the long trips as most days we had six to eight hours driving in very hot conditions. It was very uncomfortable having six to eight people on the tour in a small bus

    Melanie

    Asked on April 5th, 2024

    are the prices on the Chiapas tours per person?

    Price / Availability
    • SAT Mexico Tour and Travel OperatorWritten April 2024

      Prices are per person, guaranted departure from 2 passengers. Itinerary has been updated due to Palenque airport is not receiving a significant frequency of flights so the transfer out is being redirected to Villahermosa airport for your convenience.

    Tour Details
    • SAT Mexico Tour and Travel OperatorWritten February 2024

      We have validated availability with our local offices and have a positive response, however due to high occupancy and a modification on the last day of the program (drop of at Villahermosa Airport instead of Palenque) you must consider a supplement of 170 USD per passenger

      I need to end at Palenque, so it appears that this tour is no longer a good option for us.

    Asked on February 12th, 2024

    What is the supplement for transfer to Villahermosa instead of Palenque airport? Is it priced per person? For example 2 people, or 4 people?

    Flights / Transfers
    Price / Availability
    • SAT Mexico Tour and Travel OperatorWritten February 2024

      The transfer to Villahermosa airport is quoted as a private service and the supplement would be 170 usd per pax (considering the distance between the cities) in a car for 2 pax.

    Asked on September 13th, 2023

    Hi we are a Danish family. I would like to book a tour. We are 7 persons (parents + grown-up kids aged 23-32). We would like to do the San Cristobal city break, but add another night in Palenque. Is it possible to book a private tour?

    • SAT Mexico Tour and Travel OperatorWritten September 2023

      Of course we can send you a proposal for a private tour, first we need the date you are interested in and the occupancy for 7 pax. Once we have this information we will be able to send you a suitable quotation.

    Dawn

    Asked on February 17th, 2023

    Is the airport in Palenque operating? I don't see any flights to or from the airport. If I have to travel to Villahermosa airport is that transfer part of the package?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • SAT Mexico Tour and Travel OperatorWritten February 2023

      Palenque airport is operating, however the commercial flights offered from there are seasonal. Therefore, we suggest taking a bus (the transfer to the bus terminal is already included) or a flight from the Villahermosa airport. The transfer to Villahemrosa airport is not part of the package, consider a supplement of 95 USD to include it.
