Cultural Life Changing Experience
Nestor G,Mar 3, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Reflecting on my recent trip: The trip was incredible and the experience was amazing. I visited numerous Mayan Ruins learned from our guide (Edward) an Archeological Professor. We was accompanied by The owner of the company (Franc) who made sure every moment was fulfilled. From every visit to a small village restaurant to a culture filled hotel stay. We visited many Yucatán Cities and Small towns. The group was small and the fellow travelers were very friendly and welcoming. The fellowship was incredible. Thank you for the experience and life changing experience. I would encourage anyone who loves learning and history to take this humble journey. From Nestor Gomez Solo traveler and Student of The Mayan culture.
Busy, well thought out Tour

5.00This is a well thought out and busy tour. We covered a lot of ground, saw amazing Mayan temples, cities and landscapes, had great local food, and enjoyed the expertise of Edwin our guide. Plus of course a couple of dips in Cenotes. As a group we were well taken care of by Franc our driver, and appreciated Edwin our guide and expert archaeologist. It was a lot of fun and well worth doing. I would recommend.
A GOOD EXPERIENCE

5.00Everything was great our guide Max was a 10 and Fran the organizer and driver too. The trip is very piping, but if you want to make several visits in a few days this is your trip.
Unsurpassed experience

5.00We honeymooned and the experience was second to none. In everything regarding logistics, route, good atmosphere, food, local experience, variety of places, comfort and organization, we were very satisfied with Fran's polite and professional treatment. The perfect mix of archaeology, nature, relaxation, gastronomy, cities, crystal clear waters, local culture and beautiful memories. 5 stars (because we can not give more 😉) HIGHLY recommended.

5.00We just landed last night and with the memory of the experience still very vivid, I write this comment. The truth is that the circuit can not be put a single but. Well, yeah, it gets tremendously short. We did one of 8 days because for more we didn't have time. A 10 for Fran and her team. Amazing organization and involvement. It shows you the real side of Mexico. Taking you to places, restaurants and hotels that by yourself, would be very very difficult to find. Perfectly orchestrated timing, also leaving room for improvisation if necessary. We wanted to match everything with the day of the dead to also live the experience of that holiday and Fran fit the trip into our availability as a ring to the finger. I don’t know how others will do it, but of course, this boy is difficult to overcome...very difficult...of 10!!!!
