We had an incredible experience with Tony D on our tour to Chichén Itzá and Oxman Cenote. Tony was exceptionally knowledgeable — every historical detail was explained with clarity and passion, and there wasn’t a single question we asked that he couldn’t answer. His insights really brought the ancient ruins to life and added so much depth to the experience. Oxman Cenote was a stunning treat to end the day — peaceful, beautiful, and refreshing. The whole tour was perfectly paced, informative, and unforgettable. Highly recommend booking with Tony if you want a meaningful and enriching visit to these amazing sites!
We hired Andrés de la Mora’s Condor agency to make our excursion to Chichen Itza during the vacation we are enjoying in Riviera Maya with our two children aged 8 and 12. Our driver and guide was TonyD and we only have words of thanks for him. On time, formal, polite and with very interesting explanations about Mayan culture. In addition, thanks to their experience we arrived first to the sites and were able to enjoy them without so much heat or crowds. Best of all his good humor that made us the trip back the most pleasant. I recommend it without hesitation!!
Tony was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge of Chichen Itza is incredible, I was hesitant to take a private guided tour, but Tony is worth it. I can confidently say I learned a lot more and saw it with different eyes, than if I was to do this trip on my own. He was very professional but had a casual/relax attitude which made our group comfortable to ask questions. The cenote he took us to was awesome. Doing the excursion how he recommended made the whole experience pain free and without the crowds. And last but not least the food in Valladolid, we are still talking about how amazing it was. Do not hesitate to book him. 10 out of 10.
Tony was an excellent tour guide! Great communication, always on time. Made us feel right at home. Will tour with him next year once we go back.
Tony was an AMAZING guide for our trip to Chichen Itza! After the trip our kids spent several days on the beach constructing Maya buildings out of sand. Then they would give us tours where they quoted all of the things that Tony told them about Maya history, society, building techniques and customs. We are so grateful that he made the experience fun and educational!
