Me, Rosendo and Chitchen Itza 😎

Started early to beat the crowds was a good decision by Rosendo. Extremely informative trip to Chitchen Itza followed up with Q+A's. Cenote was amazing and the buffet was great value. Would definitely recommend booking with these guys 👌

Freddy and Abraham get 5 stars

On the bright side: Freddy was a wonderful tour guide. Very friendly, flexible, knowledgable. Abraham at the wheel took us savely to our destinations while we took a nice nap. He is very nice. Room for improvement: The lunch was ok. Nothing special and the free lunch... you end up paying it on the drinks (over 7usd for a lemonade)

Great Experience!

Freddie was a great guide and very friendly and knowledgeable. He told us a lot about Chichén Itza and the area that was interesting. Going to Chichén Itza in the morning was helpful to beat the heat and the crowds. The cenote was AMAZING as well!

One of the absolute highlights of our trip to Mexico!

A small group, a comfortable bus, and an excellent guide, Délio, who made the whole experience truly memorable. His explanations were engaging and informative, and we learned so much about the Maya and their culture. We also had the chance to meet people from the local community, swim in a cenote, and enjoy an authentic local lunch. The balance between guided activities and free time was just right. A comfortable, rich and genuinely rewarding day. Highly recommended!

Chichen Itza a must!!

Our guide, Rosendo, and our driver, Jorge, were very professional and personable. Our group were very happy with the tour. We all learned alot about the Mayan culture, the cenote and the town of Isamal... Chichen Itza was the best! We really got our money's worth for sure....

Good tour, nice guide, but a long, hot day.

Pick up point for the beginning of the day’s tour was convenient and explained perfectly, and took place exactly on time. Our guide was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. It would’ve been nice if the tour company could have provided a cooler on board of chilled bottled water. The first part of the trip to Chichen Itzá was excellent and the buffet lunch at the cenote was a good experience. Given the high temperatures, I could’ve easily gone straight back to Medida rather than visit Izamal.

Love the personalized experience and small group.

The overall experience of the tour itself was amazing! The booking process was easy through TripAdvisor, however, there was missing information (the cost of admission to the cenote and Chichen Itza), and incorrect information (the address of one of the pickup locations).

Slow down we’re on vacation!!!

We went to chichen Iza, a cenote and Izamal. The driver was the guide and he was not very friendly and rushing us. He only talk what he wanted like the Mayan calendar. We didn’t enjoy the tour. The real bad incident happened on our way back to Merida. He was driving very fast on the highway which you don’t pay tolls. The road was very bumpy. Then he got distracted hit speed bump that’s when we hit our head so hard that my sister’s glasses flew off. We had a headache the rest of our vacation.
