Amazing! - Freddy was our guide and Eddy was our driver. They were fantastic! The history and sights were fascinating, and Freddy was very knowledgeable. Freddy also helped us to know how to avoid buying fake goods. The cenote was beautiful and refreshing. The yellow town was a nice end to the tour. Bring your hiking shoes for Izamal! The buffet by the cenote was delicious with many choices even if you’re vegetarian or vegan!

Best Chichén Itzá (and more) tour! - What a great day - definitely one of the best day tours I’ve ever been on. Freddy and Martino were fantastic and everything was perfectly organized. We learned so much and the tour was the perfect mix of guided parts and free time. Our tour group was great too. Highly recommend!

Best of the best - We loved this tour! Our guide, Freddy, explained a lot about Mayan culture and history on the drive to Chichén Itzá, which was super interesting and helped us to appreciate the archeological sites. Time at each location felt like just enough, and we never felt rushed, nor did it seem like we were spending too much time somewhere. It was a nice variety of activities and locations to help us see many of the places we wanted during our short trip to Mérida. My husband only speaks English, so he especially appreciated the option to have a tour in English.

Waking up, starting early, beating the crowds, humidity and heat… it was all worth it - Fresh nd Eferim were our guide and driver respectively, and they are a great tour team. They picked us up quite early, at 06:00, and - as they explained - the reason for that was to beat the crowds at Chichen Itzá. We managed to get to the Chichen Itzá early enough to avoid ever larger tourist and vendor crowds, heat, sun, and humidity. Once we were done and leaving this wonderful UNESCO site, we saw an over a mile long line of vehicles trying to enter Chichen Itzá. The highlight of this tour was Chichen Itzá, of course, but a visit to Xcajum cenote, lunch, and a tour of historic sites in the city of Izamal are included as well. The tour was busy but very informative, educational and fun. In addition, this wouldn’t be possible without the hard work of our driver and guide. They went above and beyond in trying to offer us the best experience for the money paid. So please, be kind to these people, and tip them. They get the smallest portion of the money you actually pay for the tour (majority goes to the middlemen like Expedia or Trip Advisor), and the tip goes a long way for them.

A highlight of our trip - This was a great way to see some of the world’s most important archaeological sites and David was an outstanding guide. We started off early on our way to Chichén Itzá, and had a thorough and very accessible explanation of key historical points from David on the way there. By the time we were leaving the hordes were arriving (even on a damp December morning) so this is the way to do it! Our trip to the cenote and Izamel were equally wonderful and we can’t thank David enough for the time he spent with us.

Great tour to avoid crowds - David did an amazing job giving the tour in both English and Spanish. It was worth getting up early to meet at 6am. We beat all the crowds for all 3 activities. David taught us so much about Mayan culture and Chichen Itza. We loved the tour so much we booked a 2nd tour with Guias de Yucatan.

Content is false - It is listed as lunch in the inclusions, but it is actually a scam because you can't eat Viking lunch without buying 200mxn admission ticket to Cenote. There was no bottled water.
