We had an amazing day with our guide, Leo. From the historical perspective to the amazing lunch at a private ranch, the day was filled with new information about this region’s past, present, and people. Be ready to walk… though it’s about a mile and a half total, there is a good amount of hilly and bumpy terrain.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We expect you back in Mexico to show you more amazing places!
We had previously visited Chichen Itza and were curious about the Cañada de la Virgen. Luis was our private tour guide and he was perfect! He arrived with a driver then took us by shuttle once we arrived at our destination. All the while, sharing the history and possible explanations of this site. Since he has also been a guide at Chichen Itza, he gave us more information about that historic site. He took time to answer all our questions. We finished the tour at a rustic ranch house to eat an authentic home made Mexican lunch. It was like stepping back in time. The tour was memorable and Luis was an exceptional guide!
Gracias! We appreciate the kind words and we promise to keep improving to give you a better experience every time you come!
Luis was a wonderful guide, Juan a great driver, and the trip was exhilarating. It occupies half a day and includes a great lunch cooked in a hacienda near the site. It has been the high spot of our trip. Highly recommended!
Thank you for the kind words. We hope to meet you back in town to keep exploring this amazing country!
Israel was a very knowledgeable and coureteus guide witha great understanding of both Mexican and native lore. He had very understandable english. He gave us a good understanding of the history of the indigenius tribes and the areas we were touring. The tour and walking guide of the ancient ruin site was facinating and Israel made it even more so with his knowledge of so many details and intersting stories. The ride, although not so comfortable, was made more relaxing with his stories about Mxican history.
Thank you for the kind words. We hope to meet you back in town to keep exploring this amazing country!
This was a wonderful tour. Our guide, Israel, was knowledgeable and so attentive to our needs and questions. The archaeological site was both an informative and spiritual experience. The lunch after was so special because of the hosts and the unique dishes from the area. Thank you for a wonderful tour!
We are glad to hear you had a fantastic experience!
The ride through the country, the historical site, the authentic lunch and especially our tour guide were all amazing.
We hired Israel to take us to Canada de la Virgen. We had 2 69 year olds, some 30-somethings, and a 6 year old on our tour. Israel made it a great experience for everyone! He was incredibly knowledgeable and interesting. Our lunch after visiting the site at the pre-Hispanic spot was the best we had in Mexico!!
Hello Laura! We are happy to read that Israel did a great job as always! We'll let him know the amazing things you say about him. Thank you!
The tour exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide was great and shared some very interesting facts. And the Mexican lunch was truly authentic - delicious.
The place was fascinating--thanks to our knowledgeable guide. We used the same company for a historic tour as well.
