Money WELL Spent!!!!!!!

This was the best money I've ever spent. You get exactly what it says. They show up on time, drive you straight to Ek Balam, wait as long as you'd like while you tour the ruins, then back to the hotel. We arrived hours before the big bus tours. There were maybe 6 people there. I hired an onsite guide to walk me through. Since I was alone, I was able to spend a solid hour with the guide from beginning to end. It was amazing. Then I spent another hour going back through for more pictures. And best of all, at least for now, all of Ek Balam can be climbed including the 95 foot tall palace. It's tricky but well worth the work. I visited Coba, Tulum, and Chichen Itza and would say Ek Balam by far was the best. Especially with this offer. What a once in a lifetime experience. Gracias amigos!!!!!
