A Site Worth Seeing! - The drive is long but that's just part of the adventure. It was two+ hours one-way in a 15-passenger van, so four hours of riding for a two hour tour. It worked for our budget this time, however, if we were to return in the future, we would probably pay more for a private tour to have more room on the drive and not have to stop to pick up other guests. It was neat being with other guests, though! Our tour included folks from Germany, Vietnam, Canada, and the USA. Our tour guide was very polite and gave us all the details we needed. It was interesting hearing about the history of the ruins! We just wish we'd had a little more time to explore on our own after the first half with our guide. We realized too late that there was a trail on the side with all the columns that would take you to more ruins to explore! We knew ahead of time that there would be vendors along the entrance but didn't realize just how many would be around the entire place! I'm naturally friendly and hated having to ignore people as I walked by but that was the best way to reduce the amount of times people were hounding us to sell their products. All-in-all, we enjoyed our time and would definitely recommend using this company!

Express tour to Chichen Itza - Perfect day. Picked up outside the hotel bang on time by Julio and Ana. Given water and a bite to eat. Stop off on the way for the bathroom and option of more refreshments. Ana gave an intro to Chichen Itza both verbally and visual on the tv that we had in the minibus. Ana came across as very knowledgeable about the site and culture. We got there in god time before the crowds and the heat. Straight in and the guided tour by Ana started straightaway. We spent over an hour with Ana on the main site then had an hour or so looking g around the rest of it and viewing the vendors stalls. Upon return to the minibus, we were given a cold flannel to cool us then a sandwich and cold drink (water and beer). Ana continued to talk about the Mayan culture and other sites. Thank you

Very good! - Very good! Even though they arrived 15 minutes late from the agreed time, it was still super!!! I loved it; Víctor (the guide) and Falcón (the driver) were very attentive, always offering drinks. They told us the stops they had to make. Nothing was a surprise since they communicated everything. They had cold drinks and cold towels after seeing Chichen Itza. I loved it, honestly! The guide Victor answered any question we had.

A very nice tour! - The one who was driving was named Falcón and the tour was named Víctor. Both were very good! Super friendly! Víctor explained everything about the Mayan culture to us and answered any question we had. The car had air conditioning and they always asked us if we needed something to drink. The drinks were very cold. I didn't want the sandwich because I don't like ham, but my husband loved it; he says the sauce it had was very tasty and the sandwich was fresh.

With the right guide ,you simply enjoy every minute of it - Ricardo, the guide was simply amazing providing us with very useful and interesting historical facts. I found the tour overestimated though. 240 us dollars I think it's too much . Nevertheless the guide was superb and it was an overall wonderful experience.
