5.00Miguel our host and our driver Rodrigo were excellent! During our trip, there were protests at Chinchen Itza, but they made the trip to Coba and Ek-Balam and the cenote a wonderful time. Rodrigo also made the recommendation that we end on the cenote which was the perfect way to end the trip. We were the first visitors at Coba which made it a lot less crowded. Highly recommend!

5.00Alex and Edgar were fantastic. They were on time for pick up and communicated what to expect throughout the day. Alex shared a lot of information about the sites we visited and the culture. Edgar was a safe driver and handed bottles of cold water when we returned to the van. It was a perfect day.

5.00The excursion is a wonderful experience. The guide and the driver are magnificent professionals, and everything in general is great; however, the duration is around thirteen hours, but it is worth it.
Only way to go to Chicken Itsa
