Last summer, Bonnie Brunt from Spokane, Washington, enjoyed our tour to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.calnative.com\/mexico\/index.html\">Chiapas and Yucatan.<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I wanted to write you a quick note to let you know how thoroughly this trip surpassed my expectations. It really was a magical trip for all of us\u2014one that we will never forget\u2014and much of that was due to the services of our amazing tour guide Javier. He really was a great match for our group of bright, professional, well-traveled women.\u00a0His knowledge of the Mayan civilization and culture was profound, his passion for the subject deep, and his explanations, articulate. He was extremely professional and personable (good-natured, kind, sensitive to the needs and desires of the group). In addition, he was really good at organizing our time such that we were in the right places at the right time, taking into consideration the weather, the size of the crowds, etc.\u00a0 We just could not have been more happy with him.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for all you did to make this trip so special for all of us!<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">.guest_author {font-weight: bold;
