Private Tour - 5 stars - We visited Chichen Itza with Tours with Mike as a family of four (2 adults and 2 kids), and it was fantastic from start to finish. We were picked up from our hotel at 6:30am by our English-speaking tour guide, who was also our driver and photographer for the day. We arrived at Chichen Itza around 8:30am, before the crowds, which made a huge difference to the experience.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information as we explored, and he also took plenty of great photos for us along the way. After the visit, he took us to a traditional Mexican restaurant for lunch, which was amazing. We then visited a cenote where we cooled down and relaxed — you can walk into the water, swing in from a rope, or jump from a platform, which the kids loved.
The car was very comfortable with great air conditioning and plenty of ice-cold water. Ivan, our tour guide, was friendly, knowledgeable, and great fun to spend the day with. I would highly recommend Tours with Mike to anyone visiting the area, especially families.

A day in the Yucatan: Chichen Itza, Cenote, and lunch in Vallodid. - Manny, our guide, was the quintessential "world citizen" able to, and very happy, seemingly, to converse on many topics including his passion: history. This made the drive there and back like a visit with a good friend. The experience at Chichen itza was fabulous; we were prepared well by Manny, he addresses all of our questions and concerns patiently, which was very appreciated. We loved the cenote experience and the lunch! Loved it! This cost was a little above what we would usually pay, but not worrying about driving, navigating, language barrier, and crossing state lines was worth the cost. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend - Great experience. Ivan was a good ambassador for the various cultures along Chichen Itza. The Cenote was a little cool temp wise but still impressive. The food. You could watch them make the tortillas in front of you.

Private Tour to Chichen Itza, 5+ stars - Had a flawless day with Manny doing the private guided tour to Chicen Itza, Cénote and lunch. He was so fluent in English, knowledgeable as can be, fun, trustworthy, and professional.
He takes care of the driving, tolls, ticketing, everything. We didn’t even need to have our phones out, he took all the pictures in the perfect places and air dropped them at the end. Worth every penny and then some. Highly recommend!

World wonder checked off - Very memorable day. The small private tour made listening to the information easy and two sided. Every time I had a question Ivan had a great answer, and seemed excited to go more in depth. The cenote was very fun. As an adult child a rope swing into an underground lake will never disappoint. When it was time for lunch. Ivan's recommendation did not disappoint. I had never heard of what he recommended but put faith in the self proclaimed foodie and had a hard time not licking the plate clean.

Loved our private tour to Chichén Itza! - Our family of four booked a private tour and had the best time with our guide Ivan! We ended up reserving through the company directly and were asked to pay a 10% down payment through PayPal to reserve our spot. The rest was paid the day of the tour.
Ivan was on time, friendly, and knowledgeable. We managed to beat the crowds at every location which was so nice! He took pictures of us all day so we could just enjoy the sites. We saw iconic Chichén Itza, the beautiful Oxman cenote, and had a delicious authentic Mexican lunch in Valladolid.
We were picked up at 6:30 am from our hotel and the tour was estimated to be 9 hours from pickup to drop off, but it took us a little longer due to rain on the way back. Ivan was a careful driver and got us to and from all locations safely.
It was a great day and we would definitely tour with this company again!

Highlight of our trip! - From the moment I reach out to inquire about tours and availability we were immediately met with a friendly response and all the information we needed to make our choice.
We ultimately did the private Chichén Itzá tour. Daniel was right on time to pick us up and my husband and I knew we liked Daniel right away. The trip was long from our resort which we knew going in but we had great tunes and easy conversation.
Chichén Itzá is just so darn impressive. You see it and think about how the built it! But then Daniel starts sharing his immense knowledge and you become blown away by every fact and math equation he shares with you. I know we could have done a group tour or made it there on our own, however the true appreciation we have of the structures, the people and history is immeasurable because true appreciation is gained by understanding and that is the gift Daniel gave us!
After the history, we had so much fun in the Cenote and had probably the best tacos of our life!!
We would recommend Tours with Mike a million times over! Daniel, thank you so much for spending the day with us!
