Our guide Carlos was both knowledgeable and friendly. Our family of 15 had a great time. He was engaging to both the adults and the children and made the excursion informative and memorable. We highly recommend this trip and Carlos. Chris and Steve Lukin
Thank you i appreciate your booking
We had a great tour, with a very informative and knowledgeable guide. Cold waters provided always available with a nice stop for some amazing fresh pineapple.
Thank you very much
Carlos (the tour guide) was amazing! We had a group of 5 people and were able to find the pickup location easily with quick communication with the tour guide. The time to travel from the cruise pickup to the ruins was about 45 minutes, and Carlos offered cold water and information about the area on the way. He was very knowledgeable during the tour and gave us more than enough time to take pictures and roam around the area. Thank you, Carlos! We highly recommend this tour to anyone and everyone. A highlight was that on the way back, we stopped by one of the local stands to buy a fresh pineapple (that was cut in front of us).
This experience with Carlos was great. We were on a cruise and he was very mindful of the ship times. We also had a 9-month old baby and he was able to accommodate. Carlos had just our group of 7 so he was able to give us a private experience. He was very knowledgeable of the ruins history and culture. He walked with us giving us insights into what we were seeing. We wanted some authentic Mexican food so he stopped at a quaint roadside place to eat. Carlos is very personable and we highly recommend this trip with him. It was a highlight of our vacation.
It was a nice tour. We ate the best pineapples of our life.
We had an excellent experience with Carlos as our guide. We learned a lot of interesting facts about the Mayans and the Mayan Ruins.
We had such an amazing experience with our guide! He picked us up directly from our hotel, which made everything so easy and stress-free from the start. He was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional throughout the entire day. What really made the tour special was how knowledgeable and passionate he is. His explanations were fascinating, and he brought visual materials with him to the site, which helped us truly understand and imagine what he was describing. He tells stories in such a captivating way that we were completely engaged the whole time. My sister and I learned so much and enjoyed every moment of the visit. It was an absolute pleasure to spend this time with him. We highly recommend this guide to anyone wanting a rich, memorable, and insightful experience. Sarah et Tessa
