Has a lot of potential

The good: Decently priced tour with comfortable vehicles. The so so: Jesus our guide spent the whole tour trying to sell us Mayan calendars and other overpriced tourist trap items. We spent hours boiling in his tourist traps and when got to Chichén itzá had to rush to be able to see something in those 2 hours. ( Only saw two Temples quickly ) Everyone thought we would swim in the cenote after Chichén itzá heat but instead was the first stop of the trip, wife and women had wet hair, make up, etc. This tour could have lot of potential if the tour guides reduced their eternal sales pitch and upselling speech during the whole trip and spend more time in Chichén itzá with good information on Mayan culture.

Amazing experience of Maya history and culture

What an amazing day! Ilsa and her team were fantastic. She had such a wealth of knowledge and gift of storytelling that brought the history of the Maya to life and made the connection personal to you. I cannot thank her and the rest of the team for providing such wonderful memories.

Surprisingly

Very gratifying, surprising, and very rich in cultural and anthropological information of the Maya people. Congratulations to our guide Ester and the careful driver. Our guide in the Chichen itza park was very good and detailed in historical information. We like it a lot. But the surprising number of wanderers in the archaeological park is very bad and should be taken by the federal government of Mexico.
