Chichen Itza is a great... - Chichen Itza is a great site and the main pyramid is incredible. Our tour guide gave us loads of information about Mayan culture and traditions in English and Spanish as we were walking around. It's not enough time to visit every inch of the site but you can see all the key parts. The cenote was fun and refreshing. Then Izamal was a nice way to end the day. You have enough time to climb the Mayan pyramid there and see the main other buildings and take plenty of photos down the yellow walled streets.

Full tour of Chichen Itza - The tour is good, the guides provide quite a lot of information about the place and explain quite well each important point in Chichen itza. On the other hand the time they give to eat and go to the cenote is very little so one finds it difficult to enjoy both activities without running, and the tour of Izamal is more like stuffing and their first stop is in a shop for you to buy, but the place is beautiful, I enjoy walking through its streets and relaxing in its kiosk eating a marquee. In general it is a good tour, although if you are brought a little running

Highly recommend this trip!!! - My wife and I had a great time on this tour. Seeing the Chichen Itzá is such a beautiful sight that is well preserved. Our tour guide, Rosendo, was awesome and always had a positive attitude. Our group had people from all over the world, English and Spanish speaking (as well as German and French), and Rosendo did a great job of going back between the two main languages. Diego was an awesome driver too and kept the ride smooth the entire time. I also appreciated the balance of walking as a group and later having some free time at all the locations. I would highly recommend this tour to any of my friends and family!!

A long day but worth it! - We were collected on time and at the place specified. Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Julian was keen to ensure that we were given as much information as possible. Most of the party were Spanish speaking and I think that a because I had a little, he didn’t feel the need to translate as much as others might have needed. Chichin Itza was fascinating. The trip to the cenote was great. Well organised and the food much better than I expected. Izamal was interesting. Long day but worth it!

A fantastic day with Freddie and Diego !! - Freddie our tour guide was very good ! He first spoke in English and then Spanish. Never hesitating switching constantly from English to Spanish. Our driver Diego was very attentive in making sure everyone got on and off the smaller sized coach safely and was very gracious. The tour itself is a must do experience if you are in Mérida. It was a thirteen hour day by the time we got home, with an early morning meet up with our tour in downtown Mérida at 6:25 am, but worth every second. On the second stop at the Cenote, the water was much warmer than expected and we hated getting out. Everything was well worth every peso it cost us and we recommend to everyone that has a free day in Mérida to take this excursion.

Tour to Chichen Itza, Izamal, and Cenote with Freddy - Freddy and Mario were excellent. Freddy provided excellent information and allowed us time to explore, and the tour was polished and well run. Getting to Chichen Itza early made it magical.

Great company AMAZING Guide, small changes needed for the itinerary. - Our tour guide (Sammy) was so great. Great energy and so friendly! Sammy made sure we had all our questions answered, knew where to be, were comfortable in the vehicle etc! He is a superstar! We were met on time at the meeting location. The vehicle was a 20 person very very nice van, with comfortable seats, great AC, power outlets, window curtains etc. The driver was wonderful! We enjoyed our time at Chichen Itza and the Cenote. I know the guide was following the itinerary but Izamal should be skipped. That town is sad and not worth the time or stop. Either change it to another location or give more time at Chichen Itza. I looked back at our instructions and didn't see any details about bringing a towel and flip flops to the Cenote. I don't think I missed it. Greater detail about what to bring would be appreciated. Lunch at the Cenote was decent. The cenote was nice. Overall, great company, great guide, great value, but change the itinerary and don't do Izamal. Everyone in our group was ready to go and didn't seem too impressed with Izamal.

Good guide at an amazing site, the rest is meh. - Good guide and driver. Chichén Itzá is amazing. The cenote itself is a really nice one, except everyone else knows about it too, so it can be crowded. The food they serve there is barely passable. Izamal and the Convent of San Antonio de Padua were also interesting. Being encouraged to by souvenirs from merchants at each stop is an annoying waste of time.

See above - Very knowledgeable about chicken. Problems with an accident on highway. Very long bizarre detour. Izamel is not worth going to. Too long in sitting in vehicle.
