Awesome trip - Simon is extremely knowledgeable about the Maya civilization. We had a good time at Chichen Itza and the cenote. There were only 7 people in the group so the experience was very personal. If you live is Isla Mujeres / Costa Mujeres, the trip may start early (7am) as the tour may pick up people living in Hotel Zone or Playa del Carmen.

Highly recommended – we would book again immediately! - We booked the trip with our group of 8 and were more than satisfied! Everything was very well organized and we could enjoy the day all to ourselves. We would particularly like to highlight our guide Simon: He was super friendly and gave the trip a personal and very warm touch. His knowledge, patience and humour made the experience very special. If there were more stars, we would award them! An absolute recommendation – we would book again anytime.

Yup, just do it. - Abraham and Isai were awesome. They were kind and had a great sense of humor. We were told all about the area on the way and during. We learned so much and made sure that our unspoken needs were met.

Great experience - Great experience. Louise was awesome. Picked us up in a comfortable SUV. Only two others with us. Very long drive for us to Chichen Itza but wasn't bad in the comfortable vehicle. Louise was very knowledgeable. The cenote was great. Very happy with the experiende and would highly recommend.

Complete tour of Chichen... - Complete tour of Chichen Itza (Northern, Central and Southern sections) with a knowledgable guide. We went to Saamal cenote, which was awesome. Spent time in central areas of Valladolid and it's famous street. Timing was great. No surprise shopping time or any time wasted. We really enjoyed our time.

A must see! - We had a wonderful time on this excursion to Chichen Itza—it was absolutely worth the drive from our Cancun resort to experience such an incredible place. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided thoughtful context about the area, culture, and community, which really enhanced the experience. It was also a very relaxed and seamless way to visit Chichen Itza without the stress of figuring out tickets or navigating lines. Afterward, we visited Cenote Ik Kil. It was a bit crowded and the buffet was just okay, but the cenote itself is an unforgettable experience and well worth it—being in such a sacred place felt like a true honor. Our final stop was Valladolid for about 45 minutes, which didn’t feel like quite enough time, and my husband and I agreed we would have preferred to skip this stop. Overall, this was a great experience and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Look at other tours - The tour guide was nice. The lunch food was meh. We only got 30 minutes in Villadolid. It would’ve been nicer to have more time there. We paid $796.00 USD for four people. They wouldn’t refund us for my mom who woke up sick in the morning. Not even partial refund. When I called the office to inquire about a refund I was told the tour had already started so no refund, however, I had reported it to the driver first thing when he arrived. It’s an expensive tour at $199.00 per person. Not sure if it’s worth it. Other tour packages offer same activities. Our tour just seemed to have a minivan versus a large bus and hotel pickup. But $199?

Keep Looking - Chichen Itza was amazing… The tour itself- not so much. 80percent of the time on site was spent with everyone’s eyes glassed over listening to the guide ramble and draw things in the dirt. They should to over this in the bus on the way there rather than sleep, so people can enjoy the site. The guide stopped twice to go to the restroom while we finally had to pull over for 2 kids to pee in the grass. The lunch was great and town was a waste Book a shorter, cheaper tour with a meeting point. This is only called semi private to charge more… 2 hours to pick everyone up.
