Wonderful World Wonders Tour
Carlos Cruz was a friendly, knowledgeable and overall amazing tour guide and amigo. We learned so much about the Mayan culture and history. To top it off he was the perfect photographer for the very unexpected proposal of a lifetime. Thank you for everything.
Amazing Full-Day World Wonder Discovery Tour – Ask for Marco!
Amazing Full-Day World Wonder Discovery Tour – Ask for Marco! We booked the full-day private World Wonder Discovery tour from the Maya Riviera and it was truly the highlight of our trip. Our guide, Marco De León, made the entire experience exceptional. Marco picked us up in a very comfortable vehicle and guided us through Chichén Itzá with an informative, engaging, and easy-to-follow tour. His knowledge of the architecture, history, and ruins added so much depth—we learned a tonne and never felt rushed. Afterward, we headed to Valladolid for lunch at a beautiful restaurant with a peaceful courtyard. The food was incredible—easily one of the best meals of our vacation. On the way back, Marco brought us to a secluded cenote, and walking down into the water felt like stepping into another world. Quiet, serene, and unforgettable. If you’re considering this tour, ask for Marco. His professionalism, knowledge, and warm personality made the day truly special. Highly recommended!
Excellent private tour of Chichen Itza
We had a great time with Alfonso on a private tour to Chichen Itza. He was very knowledgeable and friendly about both the location and Mexico in general. We really enjoyed chatting with him
We went to the ruins of Chicén Itzá, then Valladolid and Cenote Xux-Ha
This day was full of beautiful discoveries and the organization was as planned. We would have liked to discover a little more Valladolid. On the other hand going to a Cenote less known than the others was a nice surprise as well as the meal A huge thank you to Santiago our guide who took the time to explain the history of the various peoples, the ruins, the Yucatan and the Cenotes. On the way he played us guitar and with the driver they sang us songs, it was a very nice gift.
