Amazing!

Published on Aug, 2023

We had an amazing experience with Carlos. Enjoyed every moment of it. Ek Balam is beautiful and my daughter loved the cenote!

Good tour operator

Published on Feb, 2023

First class operator. The operator allowed us to customize the tour to match our interests. The included meal was excellent. The tour guide was on time, knowledgeable and professional. The guide worked to ensure we had a good time. Highly recommend.

Our guide, Fausho, was very knowledgeable and kind. Our driver, Abraham, was also friendly. There we're only two of us and we had a very nice van/minibus to ourselves. There was a cooler of drinks and a box of snacks waiting for us, which was a nice gesture. Upon request, we made an extra stop in one of the villages we drove through to see how they smoke their meats (happens to be a family interest of ours). Ek Balaam was definitely worth seeing, if you are interested in Maya culture-- very different from other sites I've been. The cenote was somewhat busy, but still very enjoyable. Lunch was excellent! I was happy to see Valladolid, as it's been on my list of places to visit. However, a thunderstorm made it challenging to walk around. I would definitely recommend this trip and our wonderful guides!

Excellent

Excellent guide made the trip memorable Had an excellent time Would do again if same guide Jose(Pepe)

First private tour and it was perfect!

Published on Mar, 2022

Carlos was a wonderful guide with endless knowledge about Yucatán history. We appreciated his flexibility as this was a private tour, and we were able to spend more time in places we enjoyed. He also has knowledge of plant and bird life that was very helpful and interesting. EkBalam is definitely worth visiting and cenote Saamal was beautiful. We got to see four Motmot birds inside the cenote! Great tour!
