Amazing Trip - Today's trip was fantastic, filled with breathtaking views and delicious food. Our tour guide, Rey, is really passionate and friendly, we love the trip and all the historical stories. Our driver, Endorlado (apologies if the spelling is incorrect), was also fantastic. I'll definitely recommend this trip to other friends.

Unforgettable experience and amazing tacos! - We chose this experience from Viator (I know there were a ton of Chichen Itza options) based on the 5 star reviews and this did not disappoint! The tour guides (Alan and Sammy) are a wealth of knowledge and passionate about the Mayan cultural experience and their jobs! Really amazing to see one of the 7 wonders of the world — Chichen Itza!
The other stops were awesome too, which include the Mayan cultural village Kaua, the Chichikan Cenote (best tacos ever and a huge buffet option!), and the stop at one of the local towns nearby (Vallalodid (spelling?)).
They do have you pay admission of $43 USD per person for Chichen but even with that, this tour is more economical than the others which start at $129.
Well worth it. Enjoy!!

Cesar is the best! What a great experience. - Cesar was fantastic! What an awesome day. It’s long (so just be prepared to come fresh) but it’s so worth it - Chitzen Itza is better than you could ever expect, and Cesar really knew so much about Mayan culture and the history - you can tell that he is genuinely passionate about his job and keeps the enthusiasm going throughout the day even through the heat. Enrice the driver was also so lovely and always greeted you with a smile when hopping back onto the bus. Only small improvement on the tour format is that I would’ve loved more time at the last town we stopped at - the tequila tasting (which I loved) took up most the time so we didn’t have much time to walk around and it was such an authentic town to walk around in. A special thank you again to Cesar - you are the best tour guide we’ve ever had and genuinely just a nice person with passion for his work and has a world of knowledge on everything Mayan.

SAT Mexico confirmed our... - SAT Mexico confirmed our reservation. At the meeting point two buses came and our names were NOT in either of them. We would have missed the tour except for couple of NO SHOWS. While waiting no one would respond to our query. Very disappointed on service.
