Beautiful everything - Unique experience!!
Good organization.
Humble advice. Take the time first to listen to the guide (Rafael 👌🏼👏🏼), learn from the amazing Mayan culture, connect and be aware where one is and then the photo.

The leg room in the van... - The leg room in the van is a little small, but the trip is definitely worth it. Jesús and Alex were a great tour guide and driver. Being able to walk to the top of Ek'Balam is truly amazing, and of course Chichen Itza and the Cenote are both also great

GREAT experience with wife and family! - Ilse was a FANTASTIC tour guide and I'm confident that there is no better tour guide that exists. Her ability to seamlessly talk in both English and Spanish and her knowledge on Mayan culture made the tour worth every peso. Our driver, Jonathan, was extremely friendly and even offered us beverages. I imagine the drive isn't the easiest but still he seemed to enjoy his job. I would 100% guarantee this tour to friend and family in the future.

Time was mismanaged, but fun to climb Ek Balam and see Chichen Itza. Cenote was very cool. - It was fun and we got to climb Ek Balam and Chichen Itza, but time was mismanaged by our guide and we only had 1 hour at Chichen. We arrived at 4, and barely made it in time. Our tour was combined with folks from Cancun and Playa Del Carmen, pick up and Drop off were chopping and mismanaged. We spent a lot of time waiting for other transportation.
