Frank and Juan are both xenophobic guides, one of then told bad thinghs about the catolic church and the other one made the tour really quickly, they didnt wait for us. I’ve asked 3 times wich time was the tour gonna go and they didnt responde because i was obligate to buy things on the maya store . We passed for a really bad time with these two guys. I don’t recommend to anyone this tour. This was the worst tour i have ever had.
Great experience - Paul and the Amigo team were really great and made the experience even better for us.
Guide was funny and gave helpful tips.
Enrique, Victor, and Paul made this tour amazing. It was fun and informative. I have no complaints!
It's very long. We were picked up at 5am and returned to hotel at 7pm. Logistics could be better. E.g. on the way there you spend more than 30 mins at the gas station. You get generic experience of Chichenitza for 1.5-2 hrs, a lot of talking, not enough time to explore yourself. Then you go to Cenote, a lot of time is spent with shaman, at the store, tequila, and you barely have time to eat and swim. Cenote is big - Chichikan, but not as spectacular, no blue water. Food is very basic, you have to pay extra for life jackets and drinks. In the morning bus was incredibly cold (like in airplane), by 5 pm you are sweating, so get prepared for all sorts of weather. Valladolid is a waste of time, nothing to see there. If you'd do it by car you'd probably fit everything within 8-10 hrs, not 14 like for us.
This was hands down the highlight of my entire Mexico trip! Every part of the day was incredible from the beautiful cenote and Mayan ceremony to the fascinating history of Chichen Itza. Everything was so well organized, and Paul (our tour guide) made the experience even more memorable. It was the perfect mix of culture, adventure, and unforgettable views. Even after coming home, I can’t stop thinking about this day. If you’re visiting Mexico, don’t miss this excursion. It truly is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was honestly my the most favourite day in Mexico.
Marcela and Manuel were great guides and we highly recommend them to anyone. We loved our experience.
We had an amazing experience visiting Chichén Itzá! Our guides were absolutely fantastic—so knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of this incredible place. They kept the tour fun and engaging, answered all of our questions, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the day. Thanks to them, our trip was unforgettable. We highly recommend this tour and especially our wonderful guides for making our visit so special!
This was such an amazing experience! We were picked up at our hotel, driven to the cenote in a timely manner, as well as Valladolid and Chichen Itza! Our tour guide Paul was great, super informative and answered all of our questions :) Our driver Lorenzo as well as our other guide Pastor were awesome and very professional and kind. Keep in mind, there are a lot of shopping opportunities, so bring cash (card charges a fee at most places). If you have a chance to visit the Mayan Shaman I would also recommend! I would definitely take this tour again!
Amazing experience... guide was very knowledgeable and informative 👌
