Amelia

"Chichen Itza tour was amazing! The Mayan ruins are a sight to see and this tour was wonderful. They thought of everything! Luxury bus, great food, and wonderful tour guides. The tour guides really helped make this tour. Without them the tour would not be the same. The guys that helped make this trip wonderful were David, Robert and Manuel. David taught us so much about the Mayan culture, I really appreciate his hard work and the fun and patient he did it. Robert also was so very kind and helpful. Manuel is an amazing driver and drove that bus with expertise. This is a great tour. I highly recommend it!"

"Juan was the leader and he was entertaining, knowledgeable and cheerful for an 8 hour tour to chichen itza. The tour was highly organized but flexible when it was needed. There was always time to shop, eat and find a moment alone if needed. I learned a lot about the Mayan culture as a result of this tour."

Chris

"We visited the historic Chichen Itza to include Cenotes and a Mayan town plaza. This was an all day trip with a 2 hour drive from Riviera Maya. The best part of the trip was the history lesson, visiting the ruins and learning Mayan language. The buses are very comfortable. You will need a hat, sunscreen, umbrella, comfortable shoes, loose clothing, swimsuit, a camera with selfie stick, and a backpack. Great service AND experience!"

"This tour was amazing!! Very informative and worth every penny. The guides were very knowledgeable about the Mayan culture. They had someone offering drinks throughout the tour which was a nice touch. They also provided information on the Mayans today."

Luiz

"The experience, as a whole, was enriching. We were well taken care of. The guides really knew what they were doing, though, in my opinion, they talked a bit too much. Other than that, the day was interesting. They could have given us a bit longer in Chichén-Itzá, to explore, and skipped Valladolid altogether, since we only had half an hour there. It is important to say that none or the negative aspects mentioned above are enough to make the experience less than a five-star one."

Will

"A wonderful tour with a magnificent guide. Victor, who used to be a teacher, has so much enthusiasm and humor. He loves his, the Mayan culture, and manages to draw you into being curious about it. The man must have been talking for about 4 hours all together but somehow you could not stop listening to him. He made us understand the mindset of today's Mayans and also the mindset of the ancient Mayans. Of course he told us the latest results of the historian's research but especially in Chichen Itza he enabled us to understand the purpose of the architecture because he made us think like their ruler. It was a long day, from 7am to 9pm, but we felt that it had enriched us."

Steve

"The tour was well worth it and the tour guide was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and more! These people were extremely polite, professional & funny! I would highly recommend this tour!! The bus was comfortable and air conditioned and you could leave your things on the bus when you got off because it was locked once everyone was off!"
