Beautiful experience. - My wife and I did this tour from El CID- Ventus (not an option to pick from) and it was just such a wonderful experience. Chichen Itza was what we were looking forward to the most while planning this trip and our guide, Jesus, made this tour so much more that we could have imagined. Bringing his 26 years of archeology experience with him was such a gift for us. He was knowledgeable about the culture and language, passionate about his work and advocacy for the people and also very entertaining and educational. The 2.5 hour drive was filled with fun facts and tid bits all leading up to the actual tour. Our driver, Eric, was also great! Didnât get as much opportunity to interact with him but when I did he always had a smile and was very pleasant. Well worth the price of admission! Thank you so much Jesus and Eric for an absolutely amazing day!

Great trip with nice people! - Incredibly good trip! Jose and Eric did the trip very well! Jose was very good at explaining and telling about the stands we visited and made the trip very exciting and educational!
Eric was a very good driver and we were offered cold drinks several times during the trip!
Obs! If you are picked up at 38th street, there may be several tour groups going from about the same place! We kept going in the wrong group, fortunately Jose was attentive and shouted our names so we ended up in the right bus!
