Brilliant tour - Heber was a fantastic guide - highly recommend - We went on a private tour with Heber, from the moment he collected us at the hotel we enjoyed the tour. He was so informative and friendly, answering all our questions. His recommendation for lunch proved to be a highlight of the day. The tour was never rushed and we got some great photos at Chichen Itza and the cenote. We both really enjoyed the day and saw the benefit of the private tour as we were at the site when it opened. This tour was the peak to our holiday to Mexico. Thanks Heber!

Fantastic day out - My husband and I booked a private tour with Mike to visit Chichen Itza, a cenote and lunch.
From initial enquiry throughout there was faultless communication and he was happy to answer all my questions.
Heber, was our tour guide today and what a wonderful, knowledgeable guide he was! We learnt so much about the Mexican culture and history, it far surpassed our expectations. He was also more than happy to be our personal photographer for the day!
Both Mike and Heber knew how to get the most out of our day, avoid the crowds and experience everything uninterrupted.
100% recommend and at a fraction of the cost of the bigger tour operators for a one-to-one private tour 😊

Best Day Ever - Once in a lifetime experience!!
We thankfully found out about Tours with Mike from a Facebook fan page for our resort & we can’t say enough great things about them.
Communication with Mike was quick, easy & thorough. Our van arrived on time in front of our resort lobby at 6:30 (worth it) & the tour was private for just our family.
Cold water & bananas were offered. Introductions were made & Heber had all of our names memorized in minutes - family of 4 (2 adult daughters 18 & 25).
We’ve been to Mexico a few times & have never left the resort, mostly for safety reasons.
We couldn’t have been in better hands with Dennys & Heber. They kept us safe & on time. They were an amazing team that were so easy to talk to, very kind, helpful, knowledgeable.
Heber’s pride & passion for his job, his country, the Mayans was infectious.
He taught us so much on this trip, not just about Chichen Itza, Cenote Oxman & Valladolid but about Mexico & the Mayans. We discovered a new love & respect for these people & the sacred grounds of Chichen Itza.
We were grateful to have gotten there early because as we left it was very crowded & hot. The cenote was gorgeous & refreshing & our quaint lunch in Valladolid was delicious. Heber shared more history of the city & we ended up following a day of the dead parade.
We loved everything about this experience!! Our only regret is that we didn’t get a picture with Heber & Dennys. We can’t wait to go back & check out Tulum & swim with turtles.
Thank you Tours with Mike! You guys are the best!!

Heather and Jake's Chichenitza tour - Big thanks to Mike and his crew. Our private tour with Ivan and Dennis was spectacular. Ivan is a genius archeologicaly trained professional that truly loves his job and what he does. And Dennis is the best driver in Mexico. We had the best time. They picked us up at 630 am and they were so friendly. Stopped for us along the way to get drinks and then stopped again to get Dennis's favorite cochinita pibil tacos in a little village out side of chichen itza. We then spent a good amount of time touring the ruins there. We were some of the only people there. Benefits if getting there early and having a federal guide. We then went to a very nice secluded cenote to cool off and that was amazing too. Followed by a wonderful restaurant with amazing food in Valladolid. And then back to our resort. We were back at our resort and in our pool by 430 drinking mango margaritas and playing pool volleyball. 100 out 10 recommend Mike and his crew. Super special experience.

BEST TOUR EVER - We had the BEST tour we've ever had with Tours with Mike! Our tour guide, José Manuel was PHENOMENAL. José spent the day taking us to see the breathtaking Chichén Itzá, walking up Ek Balam (he walked to the top with us - it was terrifying and beautiful at the same time!), we swam in the Oxman Cenote and had a delicious lunch in Valladolid at Paladar De Cura. José had8 so much knowledge about the archeological sites we visited and the area we were in. Highly recommend booking with them if you are looking for a tour! I already cannot wait to come back to visit and take another tour in the future!

Amazing Excursion! Don’t miss this opportunity! - We decided on a private tour of Chichen Itza for our family of 4 including 2 children (9 & 11) to help us avoid the big crowds and to learn about Chichen Itza. What we got was so much more! Our tour guide Johny was incredibly knowledgeable not only in the history of Chichen Itza, but about many things past and present in Mexican culture and American Culture (we are from New York) and the conversations we had throughout the day were rich!
Johny took us through Chichen Itza (masterfully avoiding the crowds), offering us shade and water throughout our time there. We then had lunch at a restaurant in Valladolid which had delicious local foods which even my picky kids enjoyed! After filling our bellies, we went on to the Oxman Cenote, but while we were on our way it started to downpour! The rain seemed like it wouldn’t end but Johny told us that he was happy to wait the rain out if that’s what we wanted, and we did exactly that. Never once did he try to rush us or discourage us from going to the Cenote because of the torrential rain!
At the Cenote, Johny lent us his water proof phone case and we were able to capture some amazing pictures!
If you are looking for a fulfilling experience outside of your hotel/resort, definitely check out Tours with Mike, this was an excursion like none other (and we have been on plenty; vacationing as a family about 3 times a year)! When we return to Cancun, we plan on reaching out again to book a different private tour and we can’t wait!

Best guide ever! - My husband and I visited Chichen Itza on a private tour followed by a very refreshing swim in a cenote and a delicious lunch in the colonial town Villadolid. Communication from the company was prompt and very informative. We were very lucky to have Cedric as our guide. Not only does he speak excellent English but he is also very knowledgeable about all things, have a genuine love for his culture and its people. Cedric recommended local dishes to try at the restaurant and we loved every one of them. We would 100% recommend this company for your excursions!

5 stars!! - We had an awesome experience with Tours with Mike. Our tour guide was Jose Manuel and he was so personable, friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to Chichén Itzá, a delicious local lunch and for swimming in a Cenote. The entire day was memorable and is an experience we will never forget. Manuel was a blast to hang out with and I would 100% recommend booking a private tour over a company where you are paired with 30 other people. There is no other way to do it!! Thanks again Manuel!!!
