Unforgettable Cultural Experience - Our private tour of Chichen Itza was one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico, and that was entirely thanks to Norma. She brought the history to life with her depth of knowledge and thoughtful explanations, all while being warm, kind, and engaging. We never felt rushed and had the opportunity to really take everything in and ask questions. It was such a meaningful and memorable day. We are so grateful we experienced it with her.

Excellent tour, well worth the money - This tour has very nice pace and filled with activities. The guide Victor is amazing and very knowledgeable about the Maya history. The Chichén Itzá is very worth the visit. It’s very crowded when we visited there but Victor was able to take us through the crowds smoothly. He even led us to a less crowded restroom! The Cenote Saamal was very crowded too. The lunch buffet there has lots of selections but food was average. The Valladolid city center is nice to visit.

Perfect private tour! - This tour was one of the best that I have had. Alberto was incredibly knowledgeable, and shared detailed information about the places we visited that really increased our knowledge. Alberto and the driver, Carlos, were prompt and kept us on schedule so that we were able to maximize our time in each location. They took care of small comforts such as walking in the shade when possible, having cold water, and keeping the vehicle cool. The vehicle was perfect and nearly new. Private tours cost a bit more, but it was definitely worth it for a once in a lifetime tour! Everything was as described!

Everyone in our Family of 7 will never forget this tour - This private tour to Chichen Itza was such an amazing experience!!!! From the moment we met Alan at our hotel entrance to the moment he dropped us off was nothing but an amazing time. Alan made our tour so special with his passion for Myna history and archeological background!!! He explained what we were about to see in with excitement!!! A very clean comfortable van with cold water, beers and snacks !!! Once at Chichen Itza we were guided to a parking place right up front and ushered to the front of a very long line. Alan knew everyone joking and laughing with venders, security, other tour guide, he is such a genuine person. He took us on an unbelievable tour of all of Chichen Itza. Every question answered and filled us in on so many details of Myan life. We had one member of our family on crutches and Alan was so attentive and patient. We went on to a wonderful Cenote, so beautiful so refreshing !!! We ate a truly delicious lunch in an old 1500’s church on a beautiful plantation which was an unforgettable experience!!! We did a driving tour of a beautiful colonial town. He had us back to our hotel with plenty of time to spare for our dinner reservations. I so highly recommend this tour and if you get Alan you’ve hit the jack pit

Absolutely recommend the private tour! - Bring comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and a hat for sun protection! Leaving earlier in the morning to Chichen Itza, allowed us to get ahead of the bus tours and avoid the large crowds. The choice of xenote was beautiful, not too crowded, and the following meal was authentic & delicious! Our tour guide Norma was the absolute best! She is kind, caring, and extremely knowledgeable about Mayan History! The whole day she was filled with fun facts and her expertise truly heightened the overall experience! Highly recommend the private tour!
