Awesome knowledgeable tour guide - Amazing Trip with an awesome, knowledgeable tour guide. We did a private tour. ABBI WAS AN ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FIT!! Abby was on time and he kept us on track, but at our pace. The cenote was the highlight for my family after a hot day in the sun (85 degrees for Minnesotans) Abbi was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He introduced us to Omar Mex, the tour guide at Chichen Itza, who is from Mayan decent and very knowledgeable as well. I would recommend this tour. Abbi ensured we were comfortable in the air conditioned vehicle, ( with 8 of us) . He made sure we had water and we really felt he has a nack for this. He waited with the vehicle at Vallidad. And we returned absolutely happy with our choice.

Abbi is the BEST - Abbi was the perfect guide! We had so much fun with him. His English is great and we just had a blast learning about the culture. Our guide at chichen itza was fantastic too. I don’t know his name but Abbi picked him for us and he was very knowledgeable entertaining and fun. The cenote was better than I could have imagined. I thought I would be scared to go but with a little encouragement I did and I am so happy I did. If you take this tour you’ll be missing out if you don’t have Abbi he was the added gem that made the trip more fun.

Rich culture - This was a brilliant place to visit and see. The history of the area was fascinating and our tour guide Miriem was awesome. So sad to hear of another place colonized and forced to forget or move away from their rich culture.
