Awesome time! - Víctor, Luna, and Jimmy were all wonderful on this tour. They were professional, informational, and kept the atmosphere up with their humor. The food at the lunch stop was delicious. I had a wonderful time on this tour and cannot recommend it enough. It was less priced at around $80 plus the $30 fee for Chichén Itzá and $4 rental of the life vest. Very fun time, i highly suggest you do it.

A tour by the literal experts! - Francisco and David were top notch. Having an actual archaeologist guide you through the history, culture and significance of each step of the tour really made me appreciate what I was visiting that much more. Francisco is an archaeologist responsible for finding aspects of what we saw - I was blown away. Its not every day your tour guide is literally the one with the first hand account. Thank you for an educational and fun filled day at the Chichen Itza, Cenote and Mayan villages.

Book it! - This was my favorite thing I did on my trip, absolutely beautiful. The tour guides were very friendly and very knowledgeable on the Mayan culture. When we arrived to Chichen Itza, we walked the whole place with the tour guide, and then for the last hour we were able to walk around on our own, etc. The day was very hot, so make sure to wear sunscreen and comfortable clothes. They have where you can rent an umbrella for the day, which we did. Also, the day will be very long, the bus started in Tulum and drove 2 hours to Chichen Itza, but overall, an amazing experience. It was so cool standing there and seeing all the structures and stories.

A snapshot of Mexico - The day tour to Chichen Itza was fabulous. I enjoyed the diversity of stops along the way, Mayan Village, Cenote, and Vallinoid. Great value for the amount of activity and culture shared.

Amazing experience, (tune out the sales pitches) - Pros: Swimming in the cenote was an exceptional experience. The lunch in the Mayan town was delicious. Chichen Itza was an amazing historical tour, and our guide was jovial and extremely knowledgeable! Cons: I recognize the energy and passion of our tour bus guide, but he used it to do too much preaching and selling. It felt like a Christian televangelist but for the Mayan religion. I loved learning about Mayan culture, but we felt he was using it to pressure us into buying magic stones and idols that were overpriced. It was a turn-off. A little less of that would have been great. Overall it was a wonderful day, just had to tune out the sales pitches and enjoy the wonderful locations.

SCAM - This group is a scam. They showed up late, which kept us standing outside in the sun then later rushed us because we were late. They also charge an extra $30usd per person upin arrival that wasn't mentioned anywhere on any documents. They take you to a restaurant that they appear to own that has souvenirs to sell at wild prices and keep us there for a very long time, only to be taken to places later with the same goods at a fraction of the cost. They claimed the cheaper goods were fake, but they're identical. It's a scam by the group to justify their inflated prices! They also kept us at the store to buy their stuff at crazy prices which shorted our time at the Cenote and small town. They also meticulously plan ways to sell things to you along the trip like snapping a photo of you and then slapping that photo on a bottle of tequila in hopes that you'll buy it. Scam after scam after scam designed to extract money out of tourists. Absolute disaster.
