Great tour! - Frank was great! Tour was very informative and we got in before the crowds! Cenote was beautiful! Was able to get back to the hotel and still enjoy a bit of the rest of the day! Highly recommend!

One-of-a-kind experience with the MOST knowledgeable guide - Marco is by far the most knowledgeable, friendly, and experienced guide. He’s very calm and clear. Explains the history of everything you do with a zest for Mexican culture. The cenote they take you to x-cajum is so beautiful and one-of-a-kind. Yes, it’s early but you’d rather suffer by waking up early and get to enjoy everything ahead of the crowds! Trust!

Excellent tour! - Excellent tour! Our tour guide, Marco, was very knowledgeable, and the tour overall was very fascinating. Doing the early access was great! We didn't have to deal with any of the crowds and was worth the early start in the morning.

A wonderful Mayan and cenote experience - The swim in the cenote was liberating and refreshing, getting up early for the tour was difficult but absolutely worth it in my honest opinion. I enjoyed the trip and i know you will to.

Don't buy this tour. Go on your own and enjoy the cenotes more. - The host talked way too much. It appeared he was high on that crystal meth since he was talking nonstop. Other guides were more aware of how to speak. He also left us in the sun instead of lecturing us from the shade. We lost way too much time standing in the sun. It's much better to go to Chicen Itza by yourself. That way, you will be able to enjoy more time in the CENOTES and less time listening to nonstop chatter while baking in the sun.

Low quality and half a scam - The tour with Frank was extremely expensive for what it is, all the places were not local at all, everything was overpriced and very low quality. I booked a tour entirely in French and sadly we did not get what we paid for, everything was in Spanish with the exception of the Chichén Itzá guide that was able to say some words that were still pretty hard to understand, therefore it was half a scam as I had to translate everything to my partner. As a Mexican I feel ashamed for showing this to my partner, and would not recommend it at all for anyone that wants to see what Mexico is really like. In Spanish, the information is interesting but sadly it still remains way too expensive and low quality with the worst buffet ever! The cenote was way too crowded and you basically pay to get in there for 5 min to then be forced to go out. It would have been better to do everything on my own.
