excellent private tour of lesser appreciated but really cool ruins! - Israel was really nice and had lots of great insights about Ek Balam and the mayan history of the Yucatán! He helped us have a great tour without the crowds, took us to a beautiful cenote, and was the only person who could tell us how deep it was (60 ft!). Definitely take a private tour to limit your travel time and maximize the fun stuff!

Yes!!! Mucho recommended!!! - Easy booking. Communication via text via Whatsup app super easy and convenient. Our guide Manuel- knowledgeable, funny, respectful, patient, professional photographer!!!!

Wonderful guide and wonderful tour!! - My Quest was a well run company great to work with. From start to finish our tour to Ek Balam and a swim in a cenote was the highlight of our trip. Our driver and tour guide, Aranza, was professional, polite, very personable, and just made our whole day worth every penny. Thanks Aranza! Aranza arrived early so we didn't have to wait for him; on our drive he was a wealth of information about not just the history of Ek Balam, but also the history of the Mayan culture. That's what you get when you have a guide with a masters degree in history and one that has had the opportunity to live in multiple countries. We did have a lunch included in our tour so we stopped at a restaurant in Valladolid called Paladar de Cura. OMG! Excellent food in a beautiful colonial city. Definitely try the native Mayan dishes. For those in the LGBTQ community, my husband and I also felt very welcome and appreciated, but I feel that's how this company and their guides treat all their clients. In closing I just say BOOK IT! You won't be sorry.

Ek balam awesomeness - Holy Moly what a day!! We had Gerry as our guide to Ek Balam, Cenote Chakum and Valladolid. Incredible doesn't even cover how great of a day we had. Ek balam is so amazing. Being able to climb the acropolis (definitely a work out) and see the surrounding jungle was wild. The ruins are so well maintained with original paint and stucco still in pristine condition. Gerry was a wealth of information and provided a truly unique experience. He was able to answer all of our questions quickly and clearly. We never felt rushed as we wandered the grounds gaining a feel for the city it once was. Being able to actually go into the rooms and climb the stairs of all the different structures was so cool. Next we headed to the cenote for a much needed cool off. Wowza. We'd been to a few, but this one. Something else. We loved the different jumping platforms and the zipline was a favorite of the boychild. But the crystal clear blue water that nearly looked fake against the stalagmites. Gorgeous. Lunch was at a little Mexican place in Valladolid called Paladar de Cura. We had Gerry just order what he thought was best and man o man, so good. 100% recommend. We had a variety of tacos and dips. After lunch we had some time to wander around Valladolid before heading back to our hotel. All in all a FANTASTIC day. We at no point felt rushed and were encouraged to explore and relax as we went. Gerry was great right from the word go. 100% recommend.

First Rate Experience! - Can’t say enough good things about our guide and booking. The group is easy to communicate with and made some great suggestions. Our guide Carlos was prompt, personable, very knowledgeable and instantly made us feel welcome. We really appreciated the super vacation pics he took for us. The car was comfortable; his driving was professional and we felt very safe. Carlos is an incredible source of history and information! Two enthusiastic thumbs up, we highly recommend!!

Great Experience You Won’t Forget! - Great service. On time pick up. Got there early to avoid crowds. Carlos’ English was excellent and he was a very safe driver. Knew the area well and the accompanying history.

Perfect archeological experience with Heber - We took a private Ek Balam tour instead of the Chichen Itza tour (was impossible to get into due to protests). The tour included visit to the archeological site (including climbing the pyramid!), quick tour and lunch in Valladolid, and a swim in cenote. Heber was our tour guide. Heber is highly knowledgeable, very polite, and just a fun person to spend a day with. Heber was able to animate the site and tranform it into a very exciting story on Mayan history, culture, and the society. All the family members (including 11 and 14 year olds) enjoyed the tour immensely and learned something. The lunch was great and cenote was a blast too!

Mayan experience - Jose Manuel was our guide and river for our day trip to Ek Balam. 7am start got us to Ek Balam just after it opened which was perfect timing to avoid the mid-day heat and crowds. Jose gave us a great tour of the site and is very knowledgeable about Mayan history and culture and we would have missed a lot of the interest and background behind Ek Balam without him. Although we are seniors, climbing the temple was easy. Climbing back down was a bit of a challenge, just take it slow. Then off to Valladolid for a quick tour and an early lunch at an authentic Yucatan restaurant with delicious Mayan dishes. Last was a swim in a cenote which was okay and cooled us down but in retrospect we'd probably have enjoyed visiting more Mayan culture and save the cenote for another trip. All in all a great day and we loved the VIP private experience.
