Great trip, can only recommend! - You arrive at Chichen Itza right when it opens, which definitely avoids the crowds a bit and also the midday heat. The cenote at lunchtime is great to cool down a bit. Ending the trip in Izamel (the yellow city) is also nice.

Very enjoyable - Very good tour guide. Provided explanations in English and Spanish for the participants and answered all questions. On time and organized. The only downside was the oppressive heat, but mind you this was the earliest tour the Chichén itza. I don't even want to imagine how hot it was for the people who started their tour 2 hours after us.

Chichen itza, cenote and Izamal tour - Enjoyed the whole trip. Cenote was probably our favourite but Chichén Itzá was also fantastic. Our guide Freddie was very knowledgeable and spoke great English. We had our 17 year old son who loved the history. Everything was on time and heading there early was well worth it. We would highly recommend this tour. Shout out to Freddie our guide and Eduardo our driver, they were fabulous 💕❤️ from Canada 🇨🇦

An early start! - A full day, and well worth the time and money! We were lucky to have a very knowledgeable guide who gave us a great tour of the Chichen Itza site. We arrived early, before the crowds, and were able to enjoy the walk-around at a leisurely pace. We then traveled to a beautiful ceynote called X-Cajum; again, we arrived before the crowds and could enjoy a peaceful swim. The change rooms were large and clean, the ceynote was very easy to access, and the buffet lunch provided a variety of options. A really good day!

Excellent trip. Freddy... - Excellent trip. Freddy and Ifrain were very friendly. Freddy had a great knowledge about Chizen Itza and Izumal. His English/Spanish narrative was very informative. We were glad we left so early. No crowd at Chizen Itza and we were the first at the Cenote. We really recommend this trip. Wonderful experience.

One of the best days of our trip - Brilliant activity, the guide/driverwas super knowledgeable, and got us into Chichen Itza before the crowds and we were the first ones into the Cenote so we had it to ourselves briefly! He was really communicative of timings and the bus was comfy, food included was great also. Thank you Freddie/Ifrahim!

A wonderful day with a stellar guide - Online booking through TripAdvisor was easy and our driver/guide, David Echeverria Garcia, met us right on time. He was phenomenal -- friendly, courteous, a safe driver, and spoke excellent English. (I'm a tour guide and recognized his professionalism right away.) Both on the drive and at each site he discussed Mayan culture, their mathematical and astronomical skills, and their political and religious leadership in a way we could easily understand. He helped us see their similarities to and differences with other cultures. We arrived at Chichen Itza BEFORE all the tour buses and it was much easier to see everything as he led us around the site. We drove to the cenote in time for a good swim and the buffet, then drove to Izamal with time to climb the pyramid and explore the convent grounds. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone and highly recommend that you request David.

Amazing Tour & Incredible Guide! - Our Chichén Itzá tour was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Freddy, made the experience truly unforgettable. His explanations were detailed and engaging, making history come to life. He was also incredibly accommodating and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. One of the highlights was Freddy’s photography skills—he knew exactly where to take the best shots, and his English was excellent, making communication effortless. We also loved the small private group experience!
