5.00The guide was very good and spoke English. He answered all our questions and brought a tablet with images showing how the temple looked in the past, which really added value to the tour.
Very informative guide...

5.00Very informative guide really went out of way to explain. Particularly thought the way he brought a large iPad showing videos and images of what thinks would have looked like in the day was helpful. But tell people traffic on the approach is heavy and if we had not been 30 mins early we would have missed our tour

4.00Nice tour around Chichen Itza. Easy enough to skip the line and buy the entrance tickets through the group - saved some hassle/time. Our guide seemed to rush/speak a little quickly.

5.00Russel was a fantastic guide, he provided very insightful information and great stories. We did the 9am tour for 1hr 40. It was hot but Russel made sure we were in the shade as much as possible. Highly recommend.
Take this guide!

5.00We can highly recommend Russel. He is great and able to transport knowledge in a good way. I would immediately choose to go with him again. 2 important notes for your trip: 1) Keep in mind that ther might be a different time zone! 2) Go early, especially if you want to do something else in the area afterwards - otherwise you will always be in (the same) crowd

5.00Our guide Russell was great. Was a lovely time. The entry fee to chichen itza itself feels a little high, but this add on is worth it for all you learn, and means you probably get more value for money overall
