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.

Great Trip - The tour was great. All the stops were while timed. Our guides and driver where very helpful and friendly. The only downside was the broken A/C in the vehicle. Due to this, I would not recommend during summer months.

Do not miss this one! - Absolutely amazing and highly recommend. Maria (Mimi) was our English guide and she was so well prepared. Tablet with maps, magazines with photos, etc. At Chichén Itzá, she took us to areas I did not get to see last time I was here (on a different tour). The addition of Ek Balam, which is much less popular, but no less spectacular, was amazing. Here you can actually climb all the way to the top of the palace. A lovely cenote swim to cool off, follwed by a delicious lunch, made this the perfect day. Shout-out to our driver, Julian, and the Spanish guide, Tonansi, who were both extremely helpful and personable. We will be back!

Great tour and guides - Great tour. Thank you to our wonderful guides and driver. We had a four year old with us so anyone traveling with children please be aware that Chichen Itza and Ek Balem are very hot. Water is provided throughout the day by the driver/guides which was much appreciated. The reduced group means getting between destinations faster which was good as it's a long day but incredible to have seen these wonders.

Great Sites but Miserable Routing! - Routing from Cancún was through Playa Del Carmen going to the sites and returning to Cancun through Tulum. The long hours in a van with limited air conditioning were miserable! Since the company did not route directly to sites from Cancún and back, travel time to arrive at sites was 3.5 hours going to sites and 4 hours to return. That’s at least 3.5 hours longer travel time than it should be. However, Chichen Itsa, Ek Balam and Hubiku Cenote were excellent sites that did not disappoint. Ek Balam was a wonderful contrast with Chichen Itsa—no crowds and climbing some ruins provided great views. The guides were outstanding. The buffet lunch at the cenote exceeded expectations! It was a tough, long day but worth it overall.

Last minute cancellation - I wouldn't recommend this company, they cancelled our tour the day before our planned tour. They tried to call us at 3pm the day before via WhatsApp. Like most travelers we only have WhatsApp when on free Wifi at our hotel. We didn't get this message until 5.30pm when we returned to our hotel. Very disappointed with care factor or this company. Surely they could have cancelled a few days out which would have given us an opportunity to source another tour on the only day we had available with another operator.

I am sending you the... - I am sending you the experience of my parents who had booked your tour to Chichinitza. You should know the feedback so you can improve your performance. The guide and lunch was. fine. But what was painful was the trip back to Playa de Carmen. The guides conveniently got down first and then started the ordeal. The group consisted of two Group's from Cancun and my parents were from Carmen. The driver had to leave one group at one end of Cancun and then leave the other at the other end of Cancun. Imagine the time lost. After that he left my parents at Carmen close to 10 pm. They were on the road close to 6 hours.I was horrified to learn this. How unprofessional!! The agency should then have taken people of the same area. My mother is going on X to tell about her experience. They are so tired they can't think of going to Tulum the next day. You should be more thoughtful.
