This operator uses a shuttle van rather than a large bus so the group is smaller. Our guide was Xiomara, and she was outstanding. She is of Mayan decent and a local. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate.
This was a great tour! Chichen Itza was amazing, swimming in the cenote was so cool, and we learned a lot about Mayan and Mexican culture. Xiomara was a very knowledgeable and fun guide. I highly recommend this tour!
Was a great tour. I just wish we could stay longer at the cenote!! The water was so fresh and beautiful. That’s why I wish we can stay longer.! Bring a fan and umbrella when you do the tour it was hot. We went in August.
The experience I can't assess because they just changed my pickup time and place and... they didn't show up to pick us up. NO MORE COMMENTS!!
We did the excursion with the tour operator Yalku Tours. The bus used for the transfer had a very strong smell coming from the bathroom and did not make the transfer pleasant. The person in charge of the explanation in Chichén Itzá only explained a small part, (The Castle and the soccer field), later when I told the excursion guide about the situation he told me that I should have told him at the time, but How am I going to do it if I don't know the place and I have no idea what else there is to see, other than the fact that I would have had to look for him all over the property.

Hi 383andreii! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your comment, we’re delighted that you enjoyed the tour, our service and our team. Hope to see you again soon!
We and other tourists faced worst situation because of the protests going on at Chichen Itza. And protest started just one day before trip. (Trip Date: 03 Jan. 2023). Still tour agency didn't give a damn about it. They were interested in earning money. They changed the visit from Chichen Itza to Ek Balam but still charged same 31 USD tax fee for entry in archeological site. But in reality you can check official website to see Ticket/Tax Fee cost of El Balam is around 35% less than Chichen Itza. We are paying the tour fee already. Why didn't they take Tax/Ticket fee based on visited location? Their answer to this question was," We don't care. If you are not interested just cancel your tour and return.
