Frank and Salvador are the best! - Coach - air con was on and needed. The coach was nice and small more like a mini bus so you could speak to your fellow travellers if you wanted to. Salvador was a very good driver. Tours- were conducted so as to avoid the popular times or most crowded areas. The knowledge of Frank was outstanding. He was entertaining and informative, it was history, culture and jokes. We would highly recommend Frank and Salvador and Amigo tours. One word of caution TAX! There are taxes everywhere that are not included in the tour price so be prepared to pay a tax before you get on the coach and when entering some sites

Highly Recommended, Something For The Whole Family - Outstanding tour, genuinely the best I’ve been on. It didn’t feel rushed and the guides were so knowledgeable. “Sexy Marcella” had us all laughing but her knowledge of Mayan culture and their beliefs was wonderful. I learned so much from Ricardo during the tour around Chichen Itsa and was grateful that he kept finding shaded areas to talk to us where possible in the 33c heat. I highly recommend this tour and would do it again and again if I could!

Summer trip - It was absolutely amazing. My husband and I brought our older teenagers and our 10 year old, they all enjoyed it. Marcella was absolutely beautiful and made it worthwhile.

Paul, a very professional guide - The places visited were perfectly chosen: Cona and Chichen Itza are must-sees, beautifully highlighted by the guide's explanations. The visit to Valladolid was interesting but a little too short — only 20 minutes, which makes it difficult to get a feel for the city. Overall, a very positive experience that I highly recommend!

Chichen Itza, Coba, Chichikan Cenote & Valladolid - Manuel our tour guide was brilliant. He was amazing all day! He told us some brilliant and curious facts about chichen itza where we was visiting. Even in the down time during travel he had energy to tell us all about his life and the stories of the Mayans. He really is one of a kind. Jumbotik Manuel. The day was one to remember!

Coba, Chichen Itza & cenote tour w/ Paul & Saul was great! - Paul was an amazing tour guide, and Saul was a great driver getting us all across the Yucatan for this adventure. They're a dream team! Getting to Coba early was perfect, the cenote was beautiful and tons of fun, and Chichen Itza was obviously unforgettable. I would recommend this tour (especially if Paul is guiding and Saul is driving) to anyone!

Super Fun - Loved it, had an amazing time. Not sure why I have to use the whole 100 characters though. Bring a snack if anything. That's all I got

Packed day of history, culture and beauty but be prepared! - We took this tour on July 25th with two adults and two children (ages 13 and 16). Pick-up was at 6:30 am from a designated location—not our hotel. TripAdvisor notes that pick-up times can start as early as 5 am, depending on group size and locations. The first stop, after about two hours, was Coba. You're there for around an hour. There's a tax fee of 120 pesos (~$6.50 USD per person)—cash only. Coba is set in the rainforest, so it's humid but shaded. You can rent bikes or "bike-taxis" to explore further, though we stayed near the first set of ruins. Next, we visited the Chichikan cenote, about an hour away. You prepay for life jackets and lockers (160 pesos / ~$8.50 USD). The site includes a blessing by a Mayan shaman (for special occasions), a souvenir shop, tequila tasting, a restaurant (food included, drinks extra), and the cenote itself—which is stunning but requires climbing down steps. Be prepared for pricey drinks—three smoothies and a water cost us $24! Optional photos with parrots or Mayan warriors are extra. After another hour’s drive, we arrived at Chichen Itza around 2 pm, during peak heat. Expect to prepay entrance fees (about 630 pesos / ~$33.90 USD). Luckily, we had cloud cover and occasional rain, which helped. Our guide, Manuel Tequila, was excellent—knowledgeable, fun, and engaging. After the guided portion, you have about 45 minutes to explore on your own. Surrounding market stalls are quite pushy and sell mostly the same souvenirs. There are also drinks, snacks, and even a Starbucks (not very Mayan!). The final stop was Valladolid, about 45 minutes away, for a short 30-minute visit. It’s a charming square with a church, market stalls (mostly honey products), a coffee shop, and an ice cream parlor—but not much time to explore. We returned to the bus around 4:30 pm for the 2-hour drive back, wrapping up a 13-hour day. It’s a fantastic tour with many highlights, but be prepared for a long day with a lot of travel in a fairly uncomfortable minibus. Bring your own snacks and drinks to save money. Not ideal for young kids, but definitely worthwhile for the sights. Huge thanks to Manuel Tequila and our friendly driver, Salvador, for making the day so enjoyable.
