The whole visit was very diverse and interesting. The whole team (guides, driver) were very careful with everyone. The visit to Chichen Itza and the Cenote were the highest points of the day. I don't give 5 stars, because I thought we would visit the Grand Museum, at Chichen Itza and it wasn't considered in the visit. Overall it was a good experience, I could do it again. Thank you Maurício, for the excellent Tour!
The tour is very worth it, it is pleasant and the guides explain it very enjoyably, making it an incredible experience. Thanks to the driver Kiko along with his colleagues Abel and Mildre. Very friendly and attentive.

Compartiremos con Abel y Mildre tu reconocimiento por su simpatía y atención, así como con Kiko tus bonitas palabras por su trabajo como conductor. ¡Gracias por recomendarnos!
A wonderful experience. Our driver Quico, along with Mildre and Abel were spectacular. The truth is I find that the tour is totally worth the money. In one day you can see one of the wonders of the world, eat traditional Mayan food, get to know a Mayan community and their crafts, the Valladolid town square, and to finish, take a dip in a cenote.
¡Muchísimas gracias por compartir tu experiencia! Nos alegra saber que Quico, Mildre y Abel hicieron del recorrido una jornada espectacular.

Nos encanta saber que consideras que el tour vale totalmente la pena. ¡Compartiremos tus palabras con el equipo!
We had a fabulous day, I recommend it without a doubt. Abel and Mildre were very nice and taught us many things about Mayan culture. The cenote zipline, amazing!

Our guide was Mario and our driver was Santiago. EXCELLENT! What kind and fun people, the information was super clear the whole time. At Chichen Itza we had Jesus with the English group. Impressive! We laughed and learned a lot. We ate delicious food. We felt cared for and welcomed the whole time. Mario is a very good guide! We loved it

The guides Raul and Flota were fantastic! Super nice, cheerful, and fun! They conducted the tour in Italian and Spanish, making us approach the Mayan culture with interest and curiosity, explaining the past and present of this culture very well. Highly recommended!
Grazie mille, Valentina! Siamo felicissimi che Raúl e Flota, con la loro simpatia, allegria e professionalità, vi abbiano avvicinato alla cultura maya con tanto interesse e curiosità. È bellissimo sapere che le spiegazioni in italiano e spagnolo vi abbiano aiutato a comprenderne sia il passato sia il presente. Condivideremo con loro i tuoi complimenti. Grazie per la raccomandazione!
We want to thank our guides Raúl and Carlos Flota from the bottom of our hearts for making our day at Chichén Itzá much more than a simple excursion. We traveled as a family, 4 adults and a child, and from the first moment they made us feel comfortable, accompanied, and very eager to discover Mayan history and culture. Their way of explaining, their approachability, and, above all, the passion with which they share their knowledge made us achieve something very special: feeling like we were going back in time and living for a few hours in the era of the Mayans. Each explanation helped us imagine how they lived, what their customs, their traditions, and their way of understanding the world were. Even our son enjoyed it immensely, because they managed to make the history entertaining and fascinating. And the day had even more incredible moments: the swim in the cenote was spectacular, an experience we will always remember, and we were also able to briefly visit Valladolid. But, without a doubt, what made this excursion special were Raul and Carlos. You can tell that they love what they do and that they enjoy sharing the history and culture of their land with those of us who visit it. We are taking home not only beautiful photographs, but also knowledge, emotions, and a wonderful memory that will stay with us for a long time. Thank you, Raul and Carlos Flota, for your professionalism, your friendliness, and for making our whole family experience an authentic trip to the past. If you come to Mexico and want to truly get to know Chichen Itza, do not hesitate to take the excursion with them. We recommend it 100%. Thank you for giving us such a special and unforgettable day! ❤️ Until next time! 🇲🇽
¡Muchísimas gracias por dedicar unas palabras tan especiales a Raúl y Carlos Flota! Nos llena de alegría saber que toda la familia, incluido el más pequeño, pudo conectar con la historia maya de una forma tan cercana, entretenida y emocionante. Qué bonito que, además de disfrutar Chichén Itzá, el cenote y Valladolid, se lleven nuevos conocimientos y la sensación de haber viajado al pasado. Compartiremos con ambos esta hermosa reseña. Gracias por confiar en nosotros, por recomendarnos al 100 % y por permitirnos formar parte de un recuerdo familiar que esperamos los acompañe siempre. ¡Hasta la próxima!
We spent a day between Chichen Itza, Kaua, cenote, and Valladolid with Raúl and Flota and we can say that we were never bored. They were great at keeping the group's interest high all day long, even telling us anecdotes that you certainly won't find on the Internet. We recommend booking with them also for the punctual and precise organization that allowed us to do many different things in a single day, including lunch: Mayan cuisine! It was fantastic, thanks guys 😃
Grazie mille, Valentina! Siamo felicissimi che Raúl e Flota abbiano mantenuto vivo l’interesse del gruppo durante tutta la giornata con la loro simpatia e quegli aneddoti speciali che non si trovano su Internet. È bello sapere che l’organizzazione puntuale vi abbia permesso di godervi Chichén Itzá, Kaua, il cenote, Valladolid e la cucina maya senza annoiarvi mai. Condivideremo con loro i tuoi complimenti. Grazie per la raccomandazione!
