Fantastic - book this tour! - This was the perfect tour of Chichen Itza and cenotes. Getting to Chichen Itza as soon as it opened we missed lots of big tour groups that had just arrived when we got there. Our tour guide, Henry, was fantastic and had so much knowledge of Chichen Itza and Mayan culture. The cenotes visited were lovely, the lunch was delicious - we even got to have a go at making our own corn tortillas! Our tour guide for the day, Gustavo, was excellent. Overall, highly recommend this tour. You won’t be disappointed. Also just to note that my husband and I both speak English only and both our tour guides spoke very good English which we were so grateful for.

100% Recommended! - This tour was just what we expected. Best of all: Small group and start well soon to get to Chchen Itza just before they open and be able to visit it without any crowding. When we finished the tour at 10:30 the place was already full of tourists. Then we visited 3 cenotes (1 open, 1 closed 1 semi open). Our driver (Sergio) was lovely and helped us a lot with some objects we forgot in the van.

A very special day - The tour was fantastic. It was just two of us on the tour (my wife and I) and Martin was very passionate about explaining the cultural and historic legacy of the Mayan people. The cenotes were brilliant. Clean, safe and very fun. They were three very special cenotes to visit. Lunch was fantastic. A little hidden restaurant, literally in the wooded area next to the highway. The staff were friendly and they allowed us to help make the tortillas that we then ate, which was a lovely touch.

Excellent - Martin was our guide in this experience and was spectacular! 20 out of 10. We had a great time thanks to his great knowledge of the history of the archaeological area. It was a tremendous exchange of knowledge. In addition, thank you very much to Sergio for his cordiality and that he took us from side to side on this tour making us feel safe always. We take this super experience with us for Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.

Start early to beat the heat - Perfect tour if you are staying in Vallodolid. We had a small group of 3 for our tour. We arrived at the entrance around 15 mins before opening at 7:45 and were able to get inside and see the sites before it became too hot. By the time we were leaving the place was packed with tour groups. The cenotes were fascinating and a great way to cool off after.
