Amazing day!

This experience was AMAZING!!! Book it book it book it! It was a long day, but well worth it! We had an amazing tour guide Antoniou who is passionate about the culture and people of Mexico especially the Mayans. Chichen Itza was amazing and one experience to never forget! The lunch was good too. We got to swim in a cenote and had a tequila tasting in a nice quaint little town! Our driver Manny was so great and friendly and knows how to drive a tour bus and we felt safe with him and his driving! Just do it!!! Anyone who leaves a bad review doesn’t appreciate good people who are passionate!!!

Wonderful overall tour!

Our guides, Luis and Hugo, were passionate about Mayan culture and had vast knowledge. Very thorough and entertaining, especially Luis. Although we had tropical storm that delayed our tour at Cenote, we were fortunate to have followed Luis's instruction and swam first as Cenote had to be closed when lightening. We could have missed the swimming part otherwise. Definitely recommen this tour.

Wonderful tour. Guides...

Wonderful tour. Guides were funny and informative. Loved all the stops we made. I do wish that there was more time to explore more, especially chichen itza and valladolid but then the tour would be like 15hrs lol. Every place we went took card but if your wanting to pay cash for some items, bring more than you think you need.

Retired Solo Traveler

The tour guide Hugo displayed a wealth of Mayan knowledge. The tour to the first location (Kaua) which presented the Sharman was interesting but the shopping portion could have waited! Seeing one of the seven wonders of the world (Chichen Itza) was very exciting but be prepared for a lot of walking and extreme heat; so wear comfortable shoes/breathable clothing. I enjoyed the cenotes; be careful walking down the stairs! I had a memorable experience and meet a really nice couple who invited me to eat lunch at their table; the lunch was tasty. The last leg of the tour was tequila tasting and it was fun but I wish we could have had time to really take pictures in the town of Valladolid. Would I do this tour again? Maybe… Sincerely, Linda
