This experience is a private tour centered on two Maya sites, with time at Xunantunich and Cahal Pech and a guide accompanying the visit. The inclusions list all fees and taxes, air-conditioned vehicle service, water, and traveler pickups around the San Ignacio area. Lunch is not included, and out-district pickups are excluded. The itinerary notes also say guests may climb most temples if they wish. Compared with the two limo combo tours, this option is more focused on site visiting and less about adding an extra activity.
