Fantastic! - Highly recommended! The early start was the way to go. Guides were personable and the small group of 10 was another key. You will see groups of 20-30 wandering around Chichen Itza and will be glad you are with a small group that can move fast. The cenote and dining experience were very unique and Izamal was a nice final stop to see some of the surrounding area. The guides were so nice, when we were about to get dropped off, the heavens opened up. They drove all of us to our hotels because the idea of us getting soaked at the end of a long day was unthinkable.

Excellent trip - do it!!! - Highly recommend this trip!! Yes it is an early start but being the second tour group into Chichen Itza was amazing, beating the heat and the crowds (the queues when we left around 10.30am were huge) the private cenote and lunch with the Mayan family was excellent and felt very special (food was delicious!) our guide (Delu) was fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly. Don't hesitate to book this, you won't regret it!

Excellent all around experience! - The early arrival meant an early entrance into Chichen Itza. Because of that, we were able to experience a much shorter line and less crowds. The van that we traveled in was very clean, comfortable, and cool with the air conditioning. Our guide, Dellio, was fantastic. He was kind and extremely informative. The privately owned cenote was a dream to explore. The family who owned it served an amazing, fulfilling lunch and they created a very welcoming, relaxed environment . I highly recommend this tour company, and this tour specifically. You won’t be disappointed!

This was by far our... - This was by far our favourite tour while we were in Mérida! Getting up early was worth it, as we were one of the first groups to enter Chichen Itza and were able to walk around and take photos before the crowds arrived. The private backyard cenote was also a special and unique experience. We were travelling with a 1 year old and there were a few other children in the group, and our guide ensured that everyone was comfortable and had what they needed.

Awesome tour, smooth experience, highly recommend - Had a amazing time touring Chichen Itza. I was literally the first person to enter today. That is the benefit to a 6am departure, we were the first group there and got to walk right in and get to the pyramid before any crowds or any other people at all. It gets very busy soon after, when we left at 10:30 it was packed and with massive lines. Delio was a great tour guide, very informative and also very friendly. Great guy! Our driver was great as well, I think his name was Hernan or something similar but I could be wrong so my apologies if so. We then got to swim in a private cenote which was unbelievable. The water felt so good and it was so beautiful down there. Our lunch was delicious and our host family was so gracious. Finally we stopped at Izamal and got a bit over an hour to walk around the town. Very beautiful! If you're thinking about booking a tour to Chichen Itza and don't want to overthink which one to choose of the many options, just lock this one in!

Best choice for Chichen Itza! - Amazing tour! Was totally worth going early to get to be first in line at Chichen Itza! Got the best pics, and didn’t have to deal with the crowds! As we left, it was getting very hot and busy! The lunch and cenote were great, although the cenote was completely enclosed and it gave me a panic attack. I’d prefer an open air one next time! The last stop was Iztmal…nothing super great, bur was included!

Authentic and fun - A proper authentic trip where we saw the pyramids with great explanation and lots of on point organisation..then we visited the home of a Mayan family, swan in their private cenote and had an amazing home cooked meal and fresh fruit. The guides are lovely and fun. I think this was the best tour I've ever been on!

The visit to Chichen Itza... - The visit to Chichen Itza with its very early arrival time allowed us to truly enjoy a short wait to get in, pleasant temperatures while we were there and minimal crowds. The discussion of culture and archeology was less than expected based on our previous experiences with tours of this type. The visit to the home with the private cenote was exceptional and a true privilege. It was one of the highlights of our time in the Yucatan, affording a glimpse into local life and culture.
