Amazing day away from the resort! - We had a fantastic day getting away from the resort for a day to see the Chichen Itza site and the Cénote swim. Manny, our guide, was amazing - knowledgeable, personable, funny and ensured we were getting the most from our tour. He took us to a cool area in Valladolid for lunch right across from a historic monastery. Great pics too, which he air dropped at the end of the day. Highly recommended!

Mayan ruins, cenote and lunch - Jessica and Mr Dennis were great hosts. We had a great experience seeing the ruins when it was less busy and going to see the cenote was great also.
Would recommend for those travelling in a family as we took our 7 month old and it worked really well

Insightful, exciting and safe adventure. - We had Daniel as our guide and he was excellent. The combination of his degree in history, his storytelling skills, and his great sense of humor made the trip extra special. He arrived right on time, drove safely, and kept us entertained throughout the day. We never felt rushed, and the itinerary felt truly personalized. I can’t imagine doing this tour without a wealth of knowledge like Daniel’s; I highly recommend his services.
The only area for improvement is communication: there was some confusion beforehand regarding whether tickets, water, and snorkeling gear were included. As it turns out, everything was provided, which was a lovely surprise—but better alignment on messaging would help guests prepare.

Lifetime experience - This was an amazing experience! I loved the tour guide Manny, he was phenomenal! He really took the time to explain everything while at chitzen itza. He gave an in depth history tour. I learned things from Manny I would have never known if I had just went on my own. Manny took the time and patience to take great photos of our family along the way.. such a great keepsake for us later. The entire excursion, Manny made us feel safe and he was extremely charismatic which made it even better. The cenotes we went to was beautiful and once in a lifetime experience. Manny walked us through the whole process every step of the way so we never had any questions un answered. This type of tour is the ONLY way I would want to experience an excursion again. Thank you again Manny, for such a wonderful and unforgettable day. I’ll never forget it!

Don't miss the Chichen Itza tour with Ivan the Magnificent! - Our tour guide Ivan was fantastic. His knowledge of Chichen Itza was amazing, and the Mexican history lesson over the delicious lunch in Valladolid was fascinating and so informative. I highly recommend Tours with Mike and "Ivan the Magnificent"!

Excellent tour - a must do!! - We have just returned to our hotel after a brilliant tour!
Our tour guide was Jessica and she was truly excellent - she was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about preserving and sharing culture. All questions were answered and she was able to cater to our needs. We are a family with two teenagers and a 6month old baby so being able to go at our pace and apply stops when needed was much appreciated.
Our hotel pick up was at 6:30am. Our vehicle was spacious and comfortable for our family. We were on the road for 2hrs20minutes then had a 1hr30min tour of Chichen Itza. We arrived before the long queues and extreme heat which you see and feel upon exiting. Jessica was extremely considerate and ensured we were in the shade as much as possible and took some incredible photos for us. We learnt SO much about the ruins and Mayans! We then made a 30min journey to the cenote which our teenagers loved. It was well run, clean and the water was beautiful! Following this we made another short journey to a fantastic restaurant for lunch.
An excellent trip which I would recommend in a heartbeat. It is more expensive than the larger tours but worth the extra money without a doubt!
