Excellent guide!

What an amazing tour! It was the perfect mix of an informational tour with time allowed to venture off on our own. Our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable and gave us a deep and nuanced explanation of the sights. Plus special off the beaten track Cenote experience! Kudos!

Wonderful tour of the Yucatán

Unique experience made possible thanks to Paloma, our guide, and Alonso, our driver, who helped us discover the wonders of Chichen Itza, Valladolid, and the incredible cenotes of the Yucatán! Program planned down to the smallest detail, staff kind and available for any need. Highly recommended!

AVOID THIS TOUR OPERATOR

Avoid this company!! The tour was moved by 2 days with only a few hours' notice and without any choice. As if that weren't enough, the guide was in English, when I had expressly requested Italian. The driver was very slow, the guide was not friendly, and during the trip (which lasted a very long time because of the slowness) they talked to each other the whole time. Terrible experience! The worst of my vacation in Mexico!
