Perfect Tour! I'll recommend it to everyone I know - Carmen was the perfect Tour-Guide! Luis was a perfect driver. Carmen had so much knowledge and gave us so many extra-details about everything. Exploring with her, also about the architecture and the acoustic was phenomenal! Would recommend it to everybody!

Highly recommended tour - We had a very enjoyable day on this tour with Carmen as our guide and Luis as our driver. Carmen was very knowledgeable about all aspects of Mayan history and culture and she made the day a lot of fun. We would recommend this trip as a good way to spend the day in the hands of obvious professionals. It was also excellent value for money.

Great, safe and friendly - I came on this trip with my best friend, as two females travelling alone, we try to check things out online and make sure everything looks safe. The whole time we were on this tour we felt completely safe and were greeted by our guide who was very friendly and kind. The whole tour was very informative, well passed and they answered all of our questions really well. We had a group of around 14 people which had a good atmosphere and never felt crowded. I would definitely recommend this tour and the company.

Recommend - 5* for Carmen - Pros: - Carmen, our guide, was very nice and she did an excellent job to keep us entertained and well informed about the history aspects; - Logistics (pickup, dropoff, driver, van); - The fact we arrives early at Chichen Itza, before the crowd. Cons (or things to improve): - the overall tour (pickup to dropoff) took 14h, which is way too long. I would optimize a little bit the itinerary (allocate less time at cenote and Ek Balam - or even eliminate the Cenote - and add maybe 30m free time at Chichen Itza).

We arrived at Chichen Itza early to avoid the crowds, the Cenote was ok, but the last stop at Ekbalam was amazing, almost emty, we had the ruins almost for our group only Climbing the ruins it is an unforgettable experience! Highly recommended 👌

10/10 Miguel is the man - Seriously great tour, it was awesome to get to chicken-itza early before the crowds. The cenote was mind blowing. The last set of ruins was completely different. Miguel is a very engaging guide. Be aware it's a 12hr mission, but more that worth it.
