Pleasant Experience! - We were pleased with our excursion experience and transportation services with Local Travel Mexico. The owner and his tour guide were flexible willing to accommodate our travel needs. Our guide Manuel was personable and well versed in the tour background keeping things interesting. It was money and time well spent!

An Incredible Private Tour Experience - We had a great day with Ruben, getting picked up in a comfortable air conned car and offered water and a few snacks also which was a nice touch for the long drive. He was very knowledgeable and, importantly, passionate about Mexican and Mayan culture. He was very friendly, relaxed and easy going. We set off to arrive at Chichen Itza for opening time and were taken round at our own pace and explained all about the area, the history and the culture. The tickets for entry were prebooked and so we skipped a growing queue (and this was when it was very quiet!!). He was very engaged in any questions we had and allowed us time to walk freely around the grounds and markets. He also took pictures for us and showed us some great spots for excellent shots. He then took us to Cenote Oxman which is only a short journey away from Chichen Itza, for a swim in the water and some lunch. The cenote is very picturesque with clear blue water, lots of catfish swimming around and some incredible roots descending all the way from the surface to the water level. There is also a rope swing which everyone was having a great time with. Life jackets are mandatory (a cenote rule). Lunch itself is served buffet style, they allow multiple trips and was actually very well prepared traditional local food - we very much enjoyed it! Thanks to Ruben for helping translate and inform us of all the different dishes as the canteen doesn't provide any information for them at all (although the staff did help at times). Drinks are not included with lunch and were very enjoyable but definitely felt like tourist prices (245 peso (approx £10) for a margarita and a bottle of beer) which was surprising given its fairly remote location and visited by locals - nonetheless, they were very refreshing and a great thing to have after such an amazing morning. We were then driven home just as a bus load of a tour arrived, again beating the crowds for both time in the cenote and canteen. We had a fantastic morning and the private tour honestly made it so much more special. The local and professional knowledge of the guide (Ruben in our case) made the day flow so well, and for an incredibly modest cost difference to the Tui bus tour, I couldn't recommend the private tour option enough!

Amazing tour and an even better guide. - We had the pleasure of going to chichen itza, cenotes and valladolid with Ruben and it was outstanding. The knowledge he has and the information provided was mind blowing. He took us to a traditional Mexican/Mayan buffet which was out of this world. If you are thinking about it, do it! We will be booking more excursions with him next time we are in Mexico no doubt at all.

Amazing Day-Trip Chichen Itza-Ek Balam-Cenote-Valladolide - We had today our first Privat tour (three Persons) in Mexico. We were with our Guide Eduardo who was such a nice and friendly Person! Our tour started in Chichen Itza where Eduardo explaind us everything exactly in Englisch also wenn our Englisch was not realy the best ;) Our next stop was then Ek-Balam where we went on top of the Temple - It was an amazing view! Then we drove to an Cetone about 30 minutes from Ek-Balam, there we could swim a little bit and had lunch. After that we drove to Valladolid and had there also a short Stop. Wenn we finished he drove us back to de Hotel (2 hours) but even that time went pretty fast by with Eduardo cause he Entertaind us all the time so we were never bored! We had realy such agreat time and he does his work with so much fun and Heart that we will never forget our Daytrip - Thank you very much Eduardo! Many thanks to the boss Ruben who made this all possible with our special whises for the route! (To Add Ek-Balam to our route) If we are doing again a Trip then just with Eduardo ;)

Best tour guide we’ve ever had! - We had the best day at Chichen Itza and Cenote with Ruben as our guide. He was available with <24 hours notice and planned the full day for us and took care of all the essentials including transportation, beverages, food, and tickets. What made our experience so memorable was his deep knowledge and enthusiasm for Mexican and Mayan history, we learned so much!! Highly recommend choosing him as your guide!!
