A fantastic, informative day in the jungle - Carmen was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable not just about the Mayan history but also the local flora and fauna. She took photos so myself, my partner and our baby could be in them and even held the baby while we went off to explore the ruins. thank you Carmen for a great day. Frank the driver was also great, collected us on time and was friendly even in the early hours of the morning. 100% recommend, especially because you get in to chichen itza before the crowds start and the small group size is much more personal.

Excellent tour. Highly recommend - This tour/excursion was excellent. Miguel (Balam) is very knowledgeable about Mayan culture and taught us as Fernando was driving to the sites. He even has visuals he shared to enhance and explain what he was teaching! Leaving early and getting to Chichen Itza before the crowds was brilliant. We were able to enjoy the sites without lots of tourists and the heat of the day. Miguel was professional, polite and pleasant. The Hubiku cenote was refreshing after the heat at Chichen itza. The food was tasty and plentiful. Ek Balam was fascinated and it was exciting to climb on the ruins. I highly recommend this tour. Miguel is amazing. Ask for him if you want to learn about the sites and the Mayan culture. In addition the vehicle was very clean and functional.

Riviera Maya Travel - It was a good idea to hire the tour. You can see that Carmen, the Guide, and Cornelio, the driver, are professionals because they have taken us without queues and with hardly any crowd of people and everything very well explained.
