5.00I personally really liked the express tour as all I wanted to do was visit Chichen Itza and I did not need all the other excursions that most of the other tours provided as well. Resando was a perfect tour guide and I highly recommend everyone get a guide like him as I learned so much fascinating information. It would not have been the same experience without a guide.
Worth the early start

5.00This was a great way to see the site as getting there early before the heat and the crowds is the way to do it. The pick up location was super convenient. Don’t let the early start time put you off.
Superbly done!

5.00Julian was very knowledgeable and going to the Chichen Itza with him was very educational. I don’t know a lot about the history here and this was an amazing trip. Highly recommended.

5.00This tour was excellent! The early morning departure gave us the opportunity to see the site before the crowds arrived, and they did! It was a foggy morning and we left the site as the sun had broken through and was heating things up. Our guide, Rosendo, was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. We would highly recommend this tour.
