Incredible experience with Jerónimo.

We had Jerónimo as our guide. It is truly amazing how much he knows and how well he explains things. It was the excursion we were looking forward to the most, and thanks to him and the driver Gonzalo, it exceeded our expectations. Thank you very much for the experience.

Great treatment and very well organized

We had a very pleasant day and were delighted with all the knowledge demonstrated by our guide. One thing that seemed super interesting compared to other excursions we observed was that they provided us with umbrellas for the sun, as well as food and cold drinks. What was most distinctive was that our guide Jerónimo had illustrations of what Chichen Itza looked like in ancient times, and we were able to compare them with the current ones, a 10 out of 10 👌. The cenote is one of the most beautiful that can be seen and enjoyed, absolutely amazing. Thank you very much.

Great day with history, swimming and ice cream!

Mimi did a great job. Her knowledge at Chichen Itza was really interesting and she supplemented it with lots of photos on an iPad. Go early in the day! It’s hot and shade is limited. The cenote with lunch was a perfect refresher afterwards. The cool water and excellent tacos rounded out the afternoon. Ice cream in Valladolid was the cherry on top! Excellent tour- highly recommend.
