Awesome tour, smooth experience, highly recommend

Published on Dec, 2024

Had a amazing time touring Chichen Itza. I was literally the first person to enter today. That is the benefit to a 6am departure, we were the first group there and got to walk right in and get to the pyramid before any crowds or any other people at all. It gets very busy soon after, when we left at 10:30 it was packed and with massive lines. Delio was a great tour guide, very informative and also very friendly. Great guy! Our driver was great as well, I think his name was Hernan or something similar but I could be wrong so my apologies if so. We then got to swim in a private cenote which was unbelievable. The water felt so good and it was so beautiful down there. Our lunch was delicious and our host family was so gracious. Finally we stopped at Izamal and got a bit over an hour to walk around the town. Very beautiful! If you're thinking about booking a tour to Chichen Itza and don't want to overthink which one to choose of the many options, just lock this one in!

Best choice for Chichen Itza!

Published on Dec, 2024

Amazing tour! Was totally worth going early to get to be first in line at Chichen Itza! Got the best pics, and didn’t have to deal with the crowds! As we left, it was getting very hot and busy! The lunch and cenote were great, although the cenote was completely enclosed and it gave me a panic attack. I’d prefer an open air one next time! The last stop was Iztmal…nothing super great, bur was included!

Amazing Tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

The tour was amazing! Our tour guide, Delio, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable time. The highlight of the tour was the visit to the private cenote, it was a magical experience, the family were extremely welcoming and friendly and the food was delicious. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Authentic and fun

Published on Dec, 2024

A proper authentic trip where we saw the pyramids with great explanation and lots of on point organisation..then we visited the home of a Mayan family, swan in their private cenote and had an amazing home cooked meal and fresh fruit. The guides are lovely and fun. I think this was the best tour I've ever been on!

Amazing

Published on Dec, 2024

Amazing tour, really enjoyed the guided tour through Chichen Itza. We arrived early when the doors opened to the site so we were able to take pictures without the crowds.... Afterwards we saw and swam in a beautiful Cenote with beautiful stalagmites, had a yummy lunch and finished at the yellow town of Izamal. Thank you for the fantastic day.
