Chichén Itzá + Cenote + Valladolid

The two guides I went with (Jeronimo and Ruth) treated us wonderfully. Two great professionals who enjoy their work. Unmatched treatment that exceeded my expectations. I would do it again.

Well worth the time and money!

We had a fantastic time! Our tour guide Fabricio was very friendly and knowledgeable and our driver Alberto got us to and from safely and was right on time! The cenote was absolutely beautiful! And Chichen Itza was amazing to see and learn about! We would definitely book again!

Very nice excursion

Well-timed excursion FABRICIO is a very professional and interesting guide in all his explanations. The Chichen Itza site is very interesting; swimming in a paradisiacal cenote; the meal was very good. Only the free time in Valladolid was less enjoyable for us (end of the day: a lot of heat and not very interesting shops).

Spectacular excursion

Transportation from the hotel reception, punctual and very good service from the driver Ulises. On the way to Chichén Itzá, the guide Fabrizio provided us with a lot of interesting information about the history of Mexico. It is appreciated how joyfully and enthusiastically he conveys that information. Both were very attentive and kind. Regarding the visit, it begins at Chichén Itzá, the arrival is early so there is time to see the ruins before most tourists arrive. Afterward, we went to a very beautiful cenote to refresh ourselves. Right next door, we ate, and honestly, we were very pleasantly surprised by the typical Mexican food; it was clear that it was the food that locals eat. To finish, we went to Valladolid where we did a small tasting of liquors and visited the city center. I recommend it to everyone.
