This tour was genuinely one of the best tours I’ve done, especially thanks to Ricardo, the BEST tour guide I’ve ever had. He had TONS of knowledge and genuine care for his tour group to have as great a time as possible. I had asked for bandaids which he didn’t have at the moment, but he remembered and bought them for me when he got a chance. We were also given water bottles and umbrella for the hot weather. The whole tour route was very packed and valuable; if you’re looking for one tour to do in Cancun, I’d 100% recommend this one.
Today we did the tour with the guide Raul. We are a couple on our honeymoon with a child, we did the entire tour with Raul's assistance for every need, he explained everything excellently in great Italian (almost like a native speaker) We felt at ease as if we were in Italy. I wish everyone to find a guide like him because he truly is the best!!!
Grazie mille per la vostra splendida recensione! Siamo davvero felici di sapere che Raul abbia reso il vostro viaggio di nozze ancora più speciale. È un grande piacere sapere che la sua professionalità, la disponibilità e l'eccellente italiano vi abbiano fatto sentire a vostro agio durante tutta l'esperienza, soprattutto viaggiando con un bambino. Sapere che avete apprezzato le sue spiegazioni e l'attenzione dedicata a ogni vostra esigenza è per noi la soddisfazione più grande. Condivideremo con grande piacere i vostri bellissimi complimenti con Raul. Grazie per aver viaggiato con noi e speriamo di accogliervi nuovamente per un'altra indimenticabile avventura!
My boyfriend and I participated in the Chichen Itza tour, and our guides were Flota and Ivone. We couldn’t have asked for better; they immediately conveyed their passion for their work, and they were friendly and well-prepared, accompanying us throughout the day. They explained many things about the Maya community to us. If you are going to take this beautiful tour, ask for them ☺️

We had a great experience with Ricardo (spoke English and Spanish) and Raul (Spanish only). Ricardo was very knowledgeable and has almost had 34+ years of experience with the Mayan History. This was a very fun trip being surrounded with the culture and trying various foods! Tips: bring cash as you will be headed to the downtown historical area where you can purchase refreshments and beverages and tipping the company! Highly recommend for all ages!!

We made the tour to Chichén Itzá, Valladolid and the cenote, with gastronomic component, and we loved the whole experience. Despite being a relatively long journey to the destination, time passed very quickly thanks to the excellent organization and, above all, our guides, Raul and Jesus. Both were extremely friendly, accessible and always available to clarify doubts and help with everything we needed. Over the course of the day, they shared with us a lot of knowledge about the Maya culture and about the history and traditions of Mexico, managing to truly engage us in their culture and bring us as close as possible to their spiritual dimension and roots. The cenote was absolutely beautiful and one of the most striking parts of the tour. Also, during the various stops, the guides gave us great recommendations on what to taste, what to visit and what to do in the moments when we had some free time to explore. It was a very complete, enriching and memorable experience. We strongly recommend this tour to those who want to know more about the history, culture and natural beauty of this region of Mexico. Thank you, Raul and Jesus, for making this day so special! 😊

Também nos alegra saber que as recomendações e a atenção dos nossos guias contribuíram para que vocês aproveitassem cada momento da excursão.

A unique experience with Raul and Flota, very kind and especially friendly guides, made the trip less tiring and the heat more bearable! A very interesting excursion, I absolutely recommend it!
Grazie mille per la vostra recensione! Siamo felici che Raúl e Flota abbiano reso la vostra esperienza così piacevole e interessante con la loro simpatia e disponibilità. Grazie per la vostra raccomandazione e speriamo di rivedervi presto per una nuova avventura!
On June 3rd, I participated in a guided tour of the archaeological site of Chichen Itza, followed by lunch in a Maya community, swimming in a picturesque cenote, and a tour of Valladolid. Places and experiences that are nothing short of breathtaking, but the true added value of the excursion is the guides Raul and Flota. An incredible couple: friendly, knowledgeable, and highly engaging. They speak perfect Italian, and their explanations are extremely interesting. I highly recommend the tours with them!
