Highlight of Our Trip - Cesar was a fantastic guide! We appreciated how knowledgeable he was and the insights he provided during the drive about local history and nature. At Chichen Itza, it was a much more enriching experience to understand more about the structures and the Mayan culture. Lunch was delicious in a fantastic setting. And the cenote was not busy and a perfect way to cool off after a long day. He kept the focus of our teens and they talked about it all days later!

Unforgettable tour - Marco our guide and Gualberto our driver were beyond professional and knowledgeable. A ten hour day with no worries. The restaurant lunch in Vallodolid was fantastic as well as everyone’s taken care and planned to the minute. The tour of the ruins was great and as well as stop at Cenote. My teen daughters loved it all.

Excellent tour to Chitchen Itza with lunch and a Ceynote swim - This was an excellent tour! We had a guided tour of Chitchen Itza, and Alonso had lots of interesting information and insight on Mayan culture and regional history. This was followed by a really enjoyable lunch and swim in a private Cenote with crystal clear water and a jumping platform. Would definitely recommend and ask for Alonso!

10 out of 10 - What a great experience! Leire and Roberto were great. Leire provided incredible detail explaining all the science behind the ancient Maya ruin and history of the Mayan people and Mexico. Very informative. Lunch was delicious, and the cenote was an amazing experience. Roberto did a great job getting us from point A to Z! Great team and even better tour and experience.

One of the best excursions of the trip! - This excursion was one of the best! Our driver Arturo and our guide Iber were the best! They arrived at pick up earlier than schedule, which is helpful since we were ready early. We stoped to pick up two other groups (of two people) which was fine because it was on the way to the ruins. Arturo was a super safe drive, making sure we got from place to place safely. While driving from place to place, Iber explained just about everything we needed to know about the Mayan history and the rich vegetation and animal like of Mexico. Uber offered home made energy bars for everyone in the group. They were delicious ! One hour into the drive we stopped to use the restroom and grab coffee or snacks at a small Pueblo. After that stop we were off to the ruins. When arriving the crowds of people were everywhere. Long lines to purchase tickets and get into the ruins. Luckily, with this tour, our ticket was already purchased and we did not have to wait in any lines. We walked right up to the front and handed our tickets at the entrance. The ruins were so amazing. Unbelieve actually. Iber commented to share facts about the Mayan culture and life style as we walked around the ruins. Chichen Itza is extremely hot and there are no trees to provide shade while you admire the ruins so bring a fan, water, a hat and light clothing. After the ruins we stopped at a delicious restaurant called El Menson de Marquez. Because restaurant with delicious authentic Mexican dishes. With this tour, Iber submitted our food orders before the ruins so when we arrived at the restaurant our food was brought out to us very promptly. (Which was great because we were starving after the ruins!) After lunch, Arturo and Iber took us to Cenote xux-ha. This cenote was one of the best that we visited on our trip. It was at the bottom of a crater and the water was some of the clearest of all cenotes we have visited. There was also a lot of cool wild life! Bats flying all the way at the top, fish in the water. At the too of the cenote, there was tons of plants that were used by the Mayas. Iber continued to explain how they used the various plants on a daily basis. The workers at the cenote were also very nice and welcoming. We bought a coconut to drink the coconut water and it was delicious! They also cut me a mango off the tree and it was delicious. After this cenote we headed back to Pueblo Tulum. There was never a dull moment on this excursion. Arturo and Iber made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. Highly recommend this excursion! It is an all day thing so keep that in mind.

Memories were made - It was a fun experience, however the van we were in had very little AC and it was 93° outside. We were all sweating for the two plus hour drive which was miserable. The guide and driver were good. We really enjoyed all three activities but they really need to fix that AC.
