Great Guide - Freddy is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. We will use Guias de Yucatan for future trips. The cenotes are beautiful and the early morning ing departure time allowed us to enjoy without the crowds.

A great experience. - This trip was amazing. Our tour guide David was knowledgeable and fun. He shared information in both Spanish and English while our amazing driver got us to our destinations. This is the second trip I have used Guias de Yucatan and I will keep going back to them because they are professional and personable.

Worth having a guide! - David was knowledgeable and friendly guide. Had a lot of interesting things to share re: Mayan mathematics and culture. Swimming in Cenotes was lovely - he got us there right on time before it got crowded. Climbing Izamal pyramid was a fun challenge. Fascinating to hear about local plants and ants! Just ask if you want to stop to take photos along the way. Wonderful tour!

Take the earliest tour! - This was a beautiful tour of the Cenotes and Izamal! We were the first and only tour group in the Cenotes until our last… so TAKE THE EARLIEST booking… it is worth the earlier rise! The food is great and are very big portions! Our guide was wonderful in watching our belongings as we swam at each Cenote… which allowed us to take pics! The town of Izamal was quaint with a brief, but steep, climb to the pyramid top! Ended with a stroll through the city and a different flavor to ice cream: maize!

Wonderful Cenotes tour with our guide Freddy - Freddy was an amazing guide! My husband and I went on this tour for our honeymoon, and we had an incredible time. We left early from Merida and were the first people to arrive at the cenotes, and got to experience them without a crowd, and even were the first to have lunch at the delicious restaurant. The lunch that was given to us was seriously a highlight for us, specially the sopa de lima with the empanadas de chaya y queso. I would definitely recommend this tour to our friends and family.
