Freddy five stars - Freddy and his driver provided a great tour experience. Even though we met very early (6:00am) I believe it was well worth it to get to Chichen Itzá as it was just opening for the day. Freddy gave a fantastic presentation in the van before arriving about the history of Chichen Itzá which made being on site even more incredible. Highly recommend this tour if you have plans for later in the day. We had a wedding rehearsal to get to so this is was a great option to have in the morning. It was also nice to be part of a small tour group (4 people) compared to the large cruise tour groups we saw.

Freddy and his assistant... - Freddy and his assistant were delightfully engaging with the talent to convey their in-depth knowledge while keeping it light and entertaining. The temple of Chichen Itza was wonder to dwell inside with the ancients. But the Cenote was the jewel of the day. Taking the early start tour at 6:00AM was a defiantly a benefit. We arrived before the heat of the day as well as the incoming tour buses of tourists. They kept us one step ahead. They accommodated the very young to the other end of the spectrum. We enjoyed the tour and would recommend anyone with an interest in ancient history not to miss this tour.

Go early with Freddy - Our guide Freddy gave us a fascinating master class on Maya culture and ingenuity before we even arrived at Chichen Itza. Our group ranged from 8 to 66 in age, and everyone was engaged. We were well prepared to understand what we saw once we arrived. If you book this tour, ask to go with Freddy. We got there before the crowds and left before the hoards from the cruise ships. It was amazing!

This tour was an awesome... - This tour was an awesome way to see Chichen Itza if you’re short on time! We were picked up directly from our hotel, which made it super easy for our large group. Special shoutout to Freddy, whose interactive presentation of Chichen Itza’s history on the van ride was much appreciated!

Great experience - Enjoyed the visit to Chichen Itza. We did not want to extend the day trip to 12 hours with the other offerings so pleased we could just do this & return to Merida.

Well worth the visit - Great tour without all the add ons - it was half day from Merida - spent 2 hours on site which was perfect! Early morning departure - worth it was very hot by the time we left the site around 11 am. Guide was knowledgeable. Well worth the visit - lots of vendors inside which is unfortunate . Tour operator was ok - contacted us day before saying we were only 2 people on express tour and could not deliver they wanted to put us in full day which we turned down as we were not interested in other activities - asked for reimbursement - in the end they agreed to take us and bring us back as we had originally booked.
