Awesome Day at Mayan Sites! - Our experience for Chichen Itza, Cenote Hubiku, and Ek Balam was fantastic! Our guides were helpful, informative, and fun. The travel was easy and we learned a lot more than going on our own at Ek Balam or waiting in lines at Chichen Itza. The day was long with a 5:30 AM pick up, but the comfortable van and expert driving made the day go smoothly. If you are planning a trip to archeology sites, but only have 1 day in the region, this is the tour to take. Chichen Itza and Ek Balam are two very distinct sites, but the experiencing the dichotomy between the sites helps you better understand Mayan political culture - two very different city states but linked through trade and history. After picking up fellow travelers in Playa del Carmen and Tulum we started by touring Chichen Itza, staying for about 2 1/2 hours. We then had a relaxing swim at Hubiku Cenote followed by a tasty lunch. Finally we toured a near deserted Ek Balam. It was cool to basically have the site to ourselves and allowed our guides to go in depth on the site's history and importance in the region's archeological development. The ride back was long, but overall the tour was well worth it. We could not have recreated such a smooth day on our own. Huge thank you to our guides and drivers!

Excellent Trip to Chichen Itza, Cenote and Ek Balam! - Fantastic experience hosted by Gabrielle (guide) and Victor (driver). The day is very long but worth it. Learn alot about Mayan culture, Mexico and the geography of the area. Would recommend and repeat anytime! Guide/Driver do their best to accommodate and take care of needs. Strongly suggest the small group option as one doesn't get lost in the mass of humanity.

Great trip! - This is an amazing trip that I highly recommend taking but just be aware it’s very long - you’ll leave before the sun comes up and return after dark. Our children (7 +9) both really enjoyed themselves.

A great day. - It involves a lot of driving, but it's worth the drive. Chichen Itza is amazing. So is the underground Cenote (Hubiku). Wonderful tour guide. Lot's of interesting facts. If you're looking for souvenirs, the many venders on site have some great things at very reasonable prices.

Amazing! - We had an amazing time! Our guide, Jesus, was very kind and knowledgeable. He made our excursion exceptional. I really cannot say enough, we could have stayed and chatted with him for days. He was so patient with our questions and did an excellent job explaining everything to us. Not to mention, we had our 4 year old with us and he made sure to include him and see to it that he was comfortable throughout the trip.
