Excellent experience with Berto. Learned so much and had FUN! Would do it again!
The trip was beyond our expectations . Our guide was so kind, informative, accommodating, and any other good adjective I can think of. Went out of his way to make our visit special. We would highly recommend him.
My wife and I booked the private tour to Chichen Itza and Ek Balam, and it was the highlight of our trip. Our guide, Adrian, was outstanding: knowledgeable, passionate, and clearly proud to share the real history and culture of the Maya people. He brought both sites to life in a way no guidebook could, and we never felt rushed. Climbing Ek Balam and standing in front of El Castillo with someone who truly knows the story behind every stone was incredible. We were so impressed that we booked a second tour with him the very next day to see the Tulum ruins before our afternoon flight. He planned it perfectly, so we got a full experience and still made it to the airport with no stress. Professional, personable, flexible, and genuinely kind. It was worth every penny. Whenever we're back in Mexico, we'll book with Adrian and Living Dreams Mexico again and again. Highly recommend! — Kevin & Sureni
This private Chichen Itza tour is a must!!! My family and I traveled to Mexico for a wedding and extended the trip an extra day to do this because it was highly recommended. We booked through a travel agent and were lucky to have Claudia and Sir William as our tour guide and driver. They are knowledgable, friendly and very funny! I feel like I learned so much about Mayan culture and really enjoyed how much Claudia shared with us. Visiting a cenote after learning about why they're so abundant in this region of Mexico was a once in a lifetime adventure. We swam with a fairly small group and got to enjoy on our own pace (and the lunch before hand was incredible - don't skip the chicken tortilla soup!) I'd do this tour again in a heartbeat and it was well worth the money!
Thank you for choosing to spend part of your time in Mexico with us and for sharing such a wonderful review. We’re so happy that extending your trip gave your family the opportunity to experience this special day together. Claudia and Sir William will truly appreciate your kind recognition. Their knowledge, personality, and sense of humor make such a great combination, and we’re delighted that they helped make the journey memorable for your family. Exploring the history and culture of the region, followed by time to relax and enjoy the cenote, is always a special experience when shared with the right people. And we’ll make sure your recommendation for the chicken tortilla soup reaches the right people too! Thank you again for your trust and for recommending us so warmly.
If you're deciding between a group tour and a private guide for Chichen Itza, book Living Dreams Mexico and don't look back. This was hands down one of the best experiences of our trip. Johnny picked us up early from our hotel in a clean, safe car stocked with snacks, and thanks to the early start we were literally the first group inside Chichen Itza that day. Having the site to ourselves before the crowds arrived made it feel so much more special. Johnny himself made the whole day. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture, genuinely funny, and clearly loves what he does. I learned more from him in a few hours than I expected to learn all trip. After Chichen Itza, he took us to Ek Balam, then suggested a private cenote where we were the only people swimming. Having that natural cenote entirely to ourselves was magical and not something we would have found on our own. For lunch, instead of the typical tourist buffet, he brought us to an authentic local Mexican restaurant that was some of the best food we had in Mexico. If you're booking a tour with this company, trust your guide and say yes to their suggestions. It made all the difference. Highly, highly recommend.
Thank you for choosing Living Dreams Mexico for such a special day. It means a lot to know that Johnny helped make the experience memorable, from starting early and sharing his knowledge to finding those quieter, more authentic moments along the way. We will be sure to share your kind words with him. We truly appreciate the trust you placed in his recommendations and the time you took to write such a thoughtful review. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we are so happy the day became one of the highlights of your trip.
Using Living Dreams Mexico for our Chichen Itza tour was one of the best decisions we made on the whole vacation. Everything could not have been easier. And our tour guide, Beto, was happy to alter elements of the tour to suit our preferences. The van was well air conditioned and comfortable and stocked with plenty of drinks. And I really can't say enough about how great Beto was as a guide. It's worth considering requesting him by name.
It really means a lot to know that we could be part of such an important day of your vacation. We love hearing that you felt comfortable making the experience your own, and we’ll definitely share your kind words with Beto. He puts a lot of heart into what he does, so I know this will mean a lot to him. Thank you for trusting Living Dreams Mexico with your Chichén Itzá experience and for taking the time to leave us such a thoughtful review. We truly appreciate it.
Amazing experience we booked with Kay Tours and our driver Guilermo and guide Alex were superb. We got to Chichen Itza early before the crowds and heat were too much, Alex talked to us about not just the site but the local history aswell. We drove to a beautiful cenote for a very welcome and refreshing swim, lovely buffet lunch and a quick trip to Valladolid. An amazing day, from start to finish! Perfecto
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review. It was a pleasure being part of your visit, and we are so happy to know the day flowed so well from beginning to end. Starting early to enjoy Chichen Itza in a more comfortable setting, followed by time to relax at the cenote and explore Valladolid, makes for a truly special experience. We will make sure Guillermo and Alex receive your kind words. They are passionate about creating meaningful experiences, and we know they will appreciate your recognition of their dedication and knowledge. Thank you for placing your trust in us, and we hope to welcome you back to Mexico for another unforgettable adventure.
My husband and I had an incredible experience on our tour to Chichén Itzá! Our guide Aldo did an exceptional job from start to finish. It is clear that he is passionate about what he does and has great knowledge of history and culture. He explained everything to us in great detail and in a very interesting way, making the visit even more special. Additionally, he was always very attentive to us and provided us with drinks during the tour, a detail that is greatly appreciated in the heat. His kindness, professionalism, and excellent attention made us feel very comfortable throughout the tour. Without a doubt, we recommend this tour and, above all, this excellent guide Aldo. Thank you very much for making our visit to Chichén Itzá an unforgettable experience!
