Good expérience with Mauricio, Sticht and Manuel
Mauricio made this experience a 10 out of 10. We enjoyed every minute.
Well spent day. Our guide Xiamora and driver Philpe was very friendly and knowledgeable. It is a day long trip and guide made sure everything was planned well to save time. Be ready to walk a lot in scorching sun. Cenote was the best one - once in lifetime experience. Chichen Itza and Valladolid was good. Mayan village was a mixed experience - Food was good. All items in mayan market were very costly - made us wonder if it was priced in USD or Pesos.
A pleasant trip, very beautiful landscapes
This is a fun excursion that is well worth your time and money! The tour guides are energetic and knowledgeable, always happy to answer questions. The bus is climatized and comfy, perfect for napping along the way. And the cenote is a phenomenal refreshing, fun end to a long day. My biggest critique is the lunch experience which overall feels very commercialized. It felt very rushed, as if we were a herd of cattle that needed to eat before the next group came. They are also very pushy with drinks and going to the gallery after feels like they are trying to get you to purchase a time share. I wish lunch had been at a smaller more local place, because due to the sheer magnitude of customers it seems that the food quality suffers. I hope the company also provides some money to the Mayan dancers and restaurant staff.
flota and raul were excellent guides, they intrigued and explained with passion and competence. thanks on behalf of the whole family beautiful trip
Spectacular experience, fantastic team and guide in Portuguese, the Mauritius, 5 stars, always with good energy and great historian Maia! I recommend 😊
We went on an excursion with Carlos Flota and he was very good, helpful, and very knowledgeable I highly recommend it It is demanding but it must absolutely be done
The guides MAURICIO, GERARDO were very good, very friendly, pleasant and had a lot of information to explain. The driver LUIS, also very good.
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!
