Ek Balam is amazing 😍 - We had an amazing time on our tour of Chichen Itza and Ek Balam with our guide Tonantzin. She was super knowledgeable and always friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this tour!

Excellent - Highly recommend - Trips to Ek Balam are not common so it was great to find this in combination with Chitzen Itza. It is a small group tour, in our case three couples, two Spanish speaking and ourselves English. What we ended up with was effectively a private tour with Lilly as our guide and Hezuz with the Spanish speakers. Starting with Chitzen Itza, Lilly avoided the usual straight to the Pyramid “clap, clap” followed by the Ball Court “clap, clap” again (I have always hated that to be honest and it was the first time in 8 visits it didn’t happen). We started with other areas which were off the main plaza and included the Observatory. Lilly was informative and provided both historical, cultural and spiritual insights. Of course we had the main event and loads of time to wander round ourselves. Ek Balam is lesser known but is the only pyramid you can still climb, with as many steps as Chitzen Itza which is a challenge in the hot sun! What Ek Balam has is the sculptures which are perfect and worth the visit on their own. Also included in the tour was lunch and a visit to the Hubiku Cenote. We didn’t want to swim but there are paths and things to see so we were able to spend our time productively. I have seen comments about the suspension on the van however the problem is the roads and not mechanical, this is just a fact in the area although the trip to the cenote was a bit of a bone shaker! We were picked up and dropped out by our driver, and chief pothole avoider, Alberto and a shout out to him. We would not hesitate in recommending this tour.

Amazing tour - Our guide was amazing, very knowledgeable and took time with our questions about the site and cultural history. My son also really enjoyed the experience, Borge the sites and the learning.

3 Mayan Highlights in a day - This is an excellent small tour, reliable, punctual, restroom breaks and cold water. Our guide Gabrielle was the best, very knowledgeable and humorous. The three stops of Chichin , Ak Balam and Cenote were well worth seeing and climbing Ak Balam was a feat in the heat but totally worth it! I'd not hesitate to recommend this tour. Thank you Gabrielle and our wonderful driver Juan for an excellent day.

Chichén Itzá, Hubiku Cenote and Ek Balam - Our driver Julian and our guide Eder were both so great! Eder answered all of our questions and had lots of information about local history culture. The Hubiku Cenote was breathtaking and the buffet lunch was delicious!

Absolute must!! - Absolutely amazing experience- totally worth the long day and early start. The small group was made smaller by dividing the English and Spanish speaking with their own guide - it was very personal. We got to each stop before the crowds got there so we were able to fully enjoy each site to the fullest. The bonus about Ek Balam is that it is very interactive - you can climb the steps, go inside the rooms and wander through a lot of the city buildings that they have uncovered. Also a lot of pretty unique shopping at each stop so make sure you plan for that. It was worth every penny and every minute - we will definitely do it again with the family in the future. Thank you to our guides and driver, you made it the best!

Mexico cute - Mexico is fascinating and its beautiful landscapes I took more than I expected because Antonio's Guide was perfect. Excellent speaker and connoisseur of Mexican history and culture. His team met me and left me at the hotel on time, generous in snacks and enough water for the heated day. He also took the best pictures of my trip. Thank you to Juan for the responsible driving of the traffic and to Guillermo for his company and pleasant talk on the way back.

Great experience with insightful guides - Great tour and more enjoyable being in a smaller group. It’s a long day as I was collected from my hotel at 6:30 am and dropped off just before 7pm but it was worth every minute. Communication was very good so I always knew what was happening and the tour guides were brilliant with great knowledge of both sites.

Memorable experience - Jesus and Julian were great. Jesus was a wonderful guide. While it was an early pickup, it was worth as we arrived at Chichen Itza as the gates opened and before the cavalry of your buses and large crowds arrived. Hubiku was an enchanting stop for lunch and the cenote. Ek Balam was an exhilarating climb. Wonderful history and thorough explanations from Jesus made it a memorable experience! Definitely recommend.

Long, yet interesting tour you should not miss - it was a long, a bit tiresome yet interesting tour you should not miss. Chichen Itza was most impressive for me, although I regret we did not get a chance to visit the Warriors`s Temple and Sacred Cenote. Ek Balam was also exciting, while at the Hubiku Cenote and the restaurant we were able to see the festivities for the Day of Death.
