Chichen Itza & Cenote trip - Always sunscreen up and take an umbrella for sun protection. It is advisable to have pesos for snacks while stopping midway to stretch and use the facilities. It takes about 2.5 hours each direction so plan accordingly.

Our second time back! - This is our second time back, with Gabriel. This time, we brought (2) other family members, and our son is now 6yo instead of 4yo (as he was diring our first visit). Again, what a FANTASTIC experience. As before, we got there as soon as the park opened and had the place virtually to ourselves, which was better to hear the acoustic wonders of the pyramid itself, and get the best vantage points visually. Gabriel was as informative as he was the first time around. He's the reason we went back with this particular tour company, and why we keep recommending this tour. Also, since we were able to breeze through the site, unhampered by the crowds, we were able to seamlessly continue onto the cenote and spent an incredible amount of time there because there was only 1 other family at that time. This time, since we traveled during the full force of the rainy season (fluke), it was a completely different and AMAZING experience with a natural waterfall forming from all the rain and having the rain gently falling on us. As before, we highly recommend this tour.

Thrilling experience, highly recommend - If I could, I would honestly give Gabriel a 10/5 star review. He was extremely helpful, informative, and highly educated on the rich history and culture that existed throughout Chichen Itza. He went above and beyond, providing my friends and I with other helpful advice to make the most out of our stay. If we ever find ourselves back in Cancun, we would be thrilled to book another tour with Gabriel. Lots of love from New York <3

Miquel’s Chichen Itza tour is fabulous. - We had a wonderful time with Miquel. What a great guy. Knew everything and so detailed. Loved it! Recommend ti visit the temple complex and of course also the swim. A good start at 8, well before all the tourists come in.

Worth it - Even though we were not able to do the sunrise trip(not allowed), we left early at 6am and entered Chichén Itzá at 8 am. Gabriel was very knowledgeable took time to explain Mayan history to young kids. Communication with Nefi was easy.

Book This Immediately! - What an incredible experience. Unfortunately Chichen Itza isn’t offering the sunrise option anymore; but we arrived before 8am and ended up being the ones to enter the site. Gabriel was attentive and shared his wealth of knowledge. You are doing yourself a disservice if you come to the Yucatán region and don’t check out Chichen Itza. Gabriel even went out of his way to take us to Valladodid on the way back and allowed us some time to see the historic church.

Exclusive tour! Very good! - Excellent! First I need to specify that the sunrise walks were not taking place during the period we went. But I was informed of this by Nephi in the first contacts. We made a change in the schedule, but everything pre-combined and accurate. Exactly at the scheduled time, Gabriel arrived and we went straight. We did not go through queues (only to deliver the ticket at the entrance) and we could meet Chichen right in the first hour! It was super empty, even I recommend going at this time. Gabriel was our guide, which was very profitable because we managed to guide the time of the visits well. Since we had so many things to do in one day, we could not enjoy everything with the calm we would like, but we had little time in town. From Chichen we went to the cenote Ik Kil, wonderful! I recommend! We chose to include the cenote of Suytun, which, despite the beautiful photos, is complicated by the time people take taking photos and doing 300 different poses. If you have little time (and little patience) and it’s not an essential experience for you, jump to another cenote. Finally we went to Ek Balam... one of the best experiences we've had in archaeological sites! It is possible to climb the structures and the great temple! It was even possible to contemplate the restoration of an important tomb, possibly the best preserved of the Maia people. Beautiful and impressive! It is a little busy place, so it was good to relax at the end of the day! Gabriel is a 1000! Super recommend!!!
