Comfortable way to visit Chichen Itzá - Very well-run tour and overall excellent experience. Freddy was a knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and friendly guide. Super comfortable tour vehicle (With AC) and with a very safe, friendly, and cautious driver. (Ricardo?) This tour leaves early in the morning, but this is a good way to avoid the heat and crowds. We had to reschedule last minute due to illness and the easy accommodation was a sign of a professional and client-focused tour company.

Great day at an amazing place - What an awesome day! My son (17) and I signed up for this tour at the last minute and it did not disappoint. Freddie was an amazing tour guide, he shared really good information on the drive to Chichen Itzá that my son found fascinating, he also gave a detailed tour in the site. His partner Claudia and driver Edie were very nice and helpful. The yellow city, cenote and lunch were alll very good and gave the day a good pace. Highly recommend this tour.

Great Tour - We had an excellent tour of Chichen Itsa with Freddy H. The early start was a great idea as we beat the crowds and the heat. I was a bit leery about the cenote swim, but it turned out to be an excellent experience. The only suggestion I have is to replace the stop in Izamal with another activity. Anyway, thanks for a very memorable day.

Great day !!! - Excellent !! I think it is a very good tour that covers the entire essence of Yucatan, archaeological zone, cenote and magical town in the same day. It was great that they took us to Chichenitza very early so we could enjoy it more since the sun was not so strong. The cenote refreshed us a lot and we ate super delicious since it is a buffet that also includes a drink. Finally, we visited the magical town of Izamal where we were able to buy some souvenirs and a delicious ice pop :), the transportation was perfect since they were waiting for us with air conditioning and it was very clean. The guide Freddy seemed very experienced and knowledgeable about the tour, giving us a lot of interesting information and good tips for photos. In general we really enjoyed the day, totally worth it. Many thanks for everything !
