Wonderful guide - Our guide, Hernan, was very knowledgeable about Mayan religion, culture and history. His explanations made the ruins meaningful for us.

Great tour glad we booked this one instead of another - Everything was as advertised, and it was a really good idea to go early in the morning. It was easy to find the spot to meet our guides, they were there earlier with coffee. There are two big churches near each other, but only one is the cathedral, that might’ve caused another reviewer some confusion. The day was great, the pace was nice. We didn’t feel rushed or bored and the family meal and cenote was a highlight of the experience. Our guide was enthusiastic provided various details at the sites and was open to answering any questions that came up from the group.

Perfect small group day! - Hernan was a wonderful guide and driver! He found us promptly at the square and got us to be the first group into the Chichen Itza. He made sure we had wonderful photos before the crowds poured in and then started the tour with lots of information and history. We had plenty of time to explore there before moving onto the private Cenote. My husband and I absolutely loved the Cenote. It is not open to the public, just our group there. It supports the local Mayan family and they cooked us a fantastic lunch after. We did not get food poisoning either in case people are worried about that. The last stop in Izamal was a nice city to walk around in and you can climb the ruins there. Plenty of bottled water was provided during the tour. They even served us a sandwich in the morning. The group is only 9 people so no time was wasted and the van was comfortable and spacious.

The private cenote was gorgeous and peaceful, and the home cooked meal was fantastic. Isamal was a great way to end the day. We spent just enough time at each place. Overall, I can’t recommend this tour enough.

We arrived to Chichen Itza before it was too hot and before it got too crowded. The small group made the tour even better. The van was nice and the food provided was great. My favorite meal of our trip was the one that we had at the cenote!

Private Cenote was awesome - Long day. We got to Chichen early which was good. The crowds take away from the experience. The Private Cenote and lunch were phenomenal. More a chofer than an informed tour.
