1.00NEVER BOOK THIS TOUR They cheated us! In the post it was mentioned that they would take us to Cenote ChiChikan but they never took us there. The food they provided was veryy cold. Only 1 option for vegetarian. Don't waste your money!
Chichen Itza told well. Selling not so much.

4.00ULI, Norma were awesome guides. They teach Mayan history from their hearts. Juan was the bus driver who maneuvered us through some tight spaces. Favorite was Chichen Itza and it's history. The buffet was OK. My least favorite was the overwhelming sales.

They truly made the entire day special. Their knowledge of the history, culture, and hidden gems of each location added so much depth to the trip, and their warm personalities made us feel comfortable and taken care of the whole time. From exploring the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza, to strolling through the colorful streets of Valladolid, to swimming in the crystal-clear cenotes, everything was perfectly organized and enjoyable. They went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. I highly recommend booking with them if you want a memorable and seamless adventure.
