5.00This was a great tour. We brought our 4 year old daughter. The guides and company were very accommodating and flexible. 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!

5.00I am so glad that I took this tour, as the transportation, guide, driver, lunch stop and private cenote were extraordinary. We arrived early to beat the crowds, and our guide was well-informed. Later, we spent the afternoon with a wonderful family who welcomed us to their private cenote and served us lunch on their compound veranda.

5.00It was a very good tour. We were the first ones at Chichen Itza, where Delio gave us a very informative tour of about 1,5 hours. We had some free time after that and then we went to the Maya family with their private cenote; which was also a very special and one of a kind experience. Izamal was a bit underwhelming to be honest, but all and all we had a very fun and educative day!
10/10 would recommend!

5.00I had a wonderful time on this excursion! The driver and guide were wonderful, and made the experience as thorough and thoughtful as possible. We started off the day at 6 am where they provided us with sandwiches and coffee. We then proceed to Chichen Itza and got there right when it opened. There was zero crowd and we got to take amazing pictures, along with a tour. We then went to a family own cenote - one of the prettiest I have ever seen -followed by a traditional meal afterwards. We ended the day at the yellow town, which was also pretty (although not as pretty as the ruins or the cenote). They also gave us water bottles all day which was much needed! Overall, I would highly recommend!
Great Day! Chichén Itza, Cenote, Lunch & Izamal

5.00Very organized fun tour with Delio and driver Luis. Getting to Chichén Itza when it opened was amazing. The tour was well organized, free time, cold water supplied and knowledgeable conversation with Delio! The cenote is a highlight. Uncrowded with a lovely family serving a delicious lunch. The yellow city is a perfect ending to a fun day. Recommend highly.

5.00A great experience with a great tour guide Delio. Chichen Itza was beautiful, and we made it there right when they opened to avoid a lot of the crowds and heat. The lunch was delicious (with a great vegetarian option), the cenote was a nice refreshing way to cool down. Stopping Izamal was the icing on the cake at the end of a great day.
