Amazing experience - Amazing tour with fantastic guides!! Emiliano and Martillo were so knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! We spent the day first driving to Coba which was very cool. There were different options between walking, biking, or taking a bike taxi to the different locations. Then had lunch which included some amazing tacos and some shopping. We then headed to the main site of Chichen Itza which was breathtaking. Again, Emiliano explains in so much detail and made the trip so much more engaging and learned so much about Mayan history. We then went to cool off at the cenote samaal which was incredible as well. Definitely recommend this tour to all!!!

Amazing tour seeing Maya sites - Our group had an amazing day on our trip to Coba, Chichén Itzá, & cenote Saamal. Our driver Nortillo and guide Emiliano were professional, friendly, and informative. Our transportation arrived on time and with comfortable accommodation. We were in a van but had a small group so it was plenty of space, and there was also A/C. Emiliano was able to effectively communicate with all members of our group, in both English and Spanish. Emiliano gave us a very thorough lesson about the Mayas and their culture. He had great tips about each place we went, such as where to take pictures and which vendors had authentic products vs items imported. There is a lot of walking involved so wear comfy shoes, but we had at least a 30 min car ride between each destination, so plenty of time to recoup between stops. We had a wonderful day and would 100% book another tour.

Take the tour! You will not regret! - Our driver, Arturo and our guide, Emiliano were fabulous. We learned so much about the Mayan history and had a great time at Coba and Chichen Itza. The Saamal cenote was refreshing after a long day and a wonderful way to finish the day. 👍👍👍

Fantastic tour to Chichenitza - What an AMAZING tour to Chichinitza. Easy directions to the tour pick up point. Smooth transaction. Beautiful big bus with AC and bathroom. Comfortable seats. Window shades. Smooth ride, Mario is a great bus driver. We received free drinks and breakfast then our first stop was a Mayan village where we received a blessing from a shaman and then we did some shopping of pure obsidian hand crafted goods. We ate at a local restaurant with a delicious buffet and drinks. Then we were off to see the pyramid and structures of the ancient Mayan ruins Chicinitza. Our tour guide Gonzalo was incredible, he was knowledgeable, funny, patient and a nice person. I learned things I will never forget. Truly lived the history of the Mayans through his vivid stories. We got to shop some more from the locals who were selling along side the road. We headed back to the bus #06 and drove to a gorgeous Cenote. It was breathtaking. We got to swim in the cenote and frolic under the waterfall. After all of this we also visited a colonial village. And the oldest church in the yucatn peninsula saint sebastian.
This was one of the most beautiful memories of my life. In my opinion this trip should have been three times the price. It was so affordable. I highly recommend this tour. It was truly a magical day. Thank you for
Such a wonderful tour.
I love Mexico 🇲🇽 it’s my favorite destination in the world.

Cheers to Felix & Roberto! Best tour guides! - Felix was our driver and Roberto was our tour guide. The trip was very enjoyable and my husband and I had an authentic cultural experience. This was exactly what we were hoping for and so much more. We loved every part of the tour from Chichen Itza, Cenote swim, Maya historical info from Roberto was fascinating, buffet was amazing and the spiritual ritual of water before we entered was emotionally moving. Roberto showed us where to buy yummy Mexican cuisine and delicious chocolate from Choco Story. Our weather was very wet, rainy but Fleix and Roberto were so hospitable and made us forget about the weather. The water and drinks were so welcomed and thoughtful. We stopped a lot to use the bathroom and it was very appreciated !!! Be tour ever and I would highly recommend Roberto! Well worth the time and money.

Chichen Itza, Coba and a cenote Swim - We had the best tour guide Jimmy we could wish for. He had so much information and this enthusiasm and energy made the day even more special. I certainly recommend this guide. He even adapted to our wishes which was great. I was with teenagers but he even challenged them to interact and keep them tuned. Thank you Jimmy for the great experience. A day to never forget.

It was very nice, we would have to check some things to not always be waiting in the sun. Especially the food - Beautiful experience, perhaps I would have to be more organized the food issue, which was very fast and Valladolid we were only half an hour

My worse adventure in Mexico - It was such a long day, with a nonsens stop at a place where they wanted us to uy things.
They picked us up at 7 am in the morning and the first place where we were able to buy or drink coffee was after more than 3 hours (!).
In addition we spent like 70% of the day - or more - inside the bus with the tourist guy speaking loud nonstop, It is too much for one day while you drive and drive and drive and barely make it to see something. NOT RECOMENDED !!!!!
