    Tyler

    Asked on February 2nd, 2026

    We have a customer interested in a tour covering the historical sights in Chiapas including Palenque and other archeological zones, as well as San Cristobal and other historic sites. One traveler uses a rollator and can manage a few steps, so mobility is a consideration. Is a private option available?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Destination Services MexicoOperator•Written February 2026

      We are happy to recommend a private tour in Chiapas, ideal for travelers interested in history and archaeology, while also allowing flexibility to accommodate mobility needs.

      The itinerary may include: San Cristóbal de las Casas (a tour of the historic center, cathedral, and main pedestrian areas).

      A visit to Palenque, one of the most important archaeological sites in the region, where the visit can be adapted and long walking distances can be minimized.

      Other cultural and historical highlights in Chiapas, selected according to the travelers' pace and comfort.

      The private option allows us to adjust schedules, visiting times, and transfers, as well as provide comfortable transportation and a guide attentive to the guests' specific needs.

      Please note that while some archaeological sites have uneven terrain and steps, we always focus on the most accessible areas and conduct visits at a relaxed pace.

      Traveler•Written February 2026

      We have dates from March 19 to 27th. We would like a 4 to 5-day tour that includes the Mayan ruins at Palenque, San Cristobal das Casses. Can you accommodate this?

    • Destination Services MexicoOperator•Written February 2026

      I understand you are interested in a private quote for this 5-day Chiapas Experience program (March 19 to 23 with post accommodation 23 to 27 in Palenque). I will get back to you shortly with your private quote for a standard double room.
