Juan and his crew were excellent. They managed time and people very well. They provided in depth details on Mayan history and civilization and kept it light at the same time. Great family Trip ! We saw the chichen itza at the end of day which was a perfect back drop for no crowd and all the views for ourselves! We got great pictures!!
Pastor and Manuel T. were absolutely amazing! Manuel T. had a calm yet firm demeanor that made him an excellent tour guide. He was very clear about what was included in our package and even helped us avoid some common tourist traps, which we really appreciated. One suggestion for improving the experience would be to use individual vans for the initial pickups and then have everyone transfer to one bus afterward. I think that could make the pickup process a little smoother. Overall, we had a great experience and really appreciated Pastor and Manuel T.!
It was a great experience although a long day. Juan and Johnny were great and very knowledgeable about everything we saw. Chichen Itza was a bucket list, the cenote was beautiful and Violdad was cute. I would definitely do another tour through Amigos
ramiro and rodrigo and mr noe were great, the tacos were amazing, just make sure u pay the taxes beforehand
Music is always too loud . You assume everyone wants to hear Mexican music and most of us are from other countries. The loud music takes away from hearing the ocean. Also the trip said “snorkeling” yet there were no snorkels handed out. Nor flippers. So it wasn’t “snorkeling” that was cheap on your part. I’ll use a different provider next time. Disappointed.
This is our first trip here in Cancun with my Mom and we are so happy to experienced this amazing tour with our tour Guides .It was organized,enjoyable and time well-spent for us.from our tourist Guides Sr Kevin’s knowledge and well-explained detail about the chichen Itza and history of Mayan. With Sr. Pastor’s humour, advices and his kindness are top-notch bonus (the smiles too )and to Sr.Oligario ‘s outstanding driving and care for the whole time of our tour.We enjoyed every single places. The time-management and teamwork of this group are the best and We definetly recommend it .
This tour was such a great experience! It felt incredibly personal, and our guide, Rodrigo, made a genuine effort to get to know everyone in the group. He was patient with us as we walked around, answered all of our questions, made us laugh, and even learned many of our names. He also packed an impressive amount of history into the time we had together without ever making the tour feel rushed. Rodrigo made us feel comfortable exploring an area we had never visited before. He gave us clear directions about where to go, how to interact respectfully with local vendors, and even what we could and couldn't touch at the archaeological sites. His knowledge of Mayan history was incredible, and he made it even more meaningful by sharing some of his own family history and his experience growing up near the archaeological site. Thomas, our other guide, was equally knowledgeable and a wonderful host at the village we visited. He gave us a fascinating explanation of the Mayan calendar and how the Maya recorded dates and history. Both Rodrigo and Thomas were completely bilingual, which made the entire experience easy and accessible for everyone. A huge thank you also goes to Emmanuel, our amazing driver! He kept our belongings safe and secure while we explored the archaeological sites and Chichén Itzá, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the day without worrying about anything. What I appreciated most was that this wasn't simply sightseeing—it was a lesson in Mayan history, culture, and the strength and sophistication of the Mayan people before colonization. The guides brought that history to life in a way that felt respectful, engaging, and personal. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who loves history and wants an experience that feels more like spending the day with a personal guide than being part of a large tour group. Rodrigo even helped us find the best camera angles so we could leave with some amazing photos and memories! One helpful reminder: this is a group tour with pickups and drop-offs at multiple hotels, so bring a little patience and plan accordingly. They aren’t just picking up your group—guests are collected from several resorts along the route and dropped off in order at the end of the day. It takes a little extra time, but that’s simply part of the logistics of a shared tour and didn’t take away from our experience at all. Thank you, Rodrigo, Thomas, and Emmanuel, for making this such a memorable day!
Great day out, visited Chichen Itza, a Cenote and Valladolid. The guides Juan and Paul were very friendly and knowledgeable and made sure we didn't miss anything.
We had a wonderful time with our tour guide & driver, Manuel and David did an excellent job throughout the whole trip, I would rebook with them given the chance, great people. The cenote was a great experience, as well as Chichen Itza. As for the tequila tasting, the best flavor were Coco & Cafe must try!
We had a wonderful experience on the Chichen Itza, Cenote & Valladolid Tour with Amigo Tours! The entire day was great, but what truly made the experience special was our tour guide, Alberto. Alberto was absolutely amazing! He shared so much information, history, and so many interesting stories throughout the tour. You can really tell that he is knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He didn’t just give us facts — he brought the history and culture to life and made everything much more interesting and memorable. Chichen Itza was incredible, and having Alberto explain the history and stories behind what we were seeing made the experience even better. Thank you, Alberto, for making our day so special! I would definitely recommend this tour, and if you’re lucky enough to have Alberto as your guide, you’re in for a great experience!Ex
