Best tour and guide! - We were six girls for my thirtieth birthday trip and all loved Pepe so much! He is so so knowledgeable and kind, and shared extra information with us than a bigger tour would have (two of us in the group had previously been to Chichen Itza on a bigger group tour and we agreed this was sooo much better!). His English was perfect and he was very helpful and easy to communicate with beforehand, too. At the end of the tour he gave us a recommendation for the cutest “hole in the wall” authentic Mexican restaurant which we loved! Thanks again, Pepe!!

A tour worth every penny. - The guide, Enrique Tun, was fantastic. He was personable and provided a lot of insights into the Mayan culture and design of the buildings. I learned a great deal during the tour and some interesting accepts of the construction of the buildings.
The private tour was timed perfectly - before the crowds.
The team provided precise instructions on where to meet and Enrique helped us with some logistics which save time on entry.
I would highly recommend this type of tour.

An excellent guide and a great tour - We had a great tour of Chichen Itza. Our guide Pepe was excellent. He told us the history of Chichen Itza and the Mayans. And he did so by telling stories that were entertaining and easy to understand.
Something we did not know was that there is a time change from the Cancun area to Chichen Itza. But Pepe was arriving early and we were able to start the tour early. Also, he had given us helpful advice in arriving in our car to ignore all the people trying to persuade us to park and instead go all the way to the official parking. Finally, Pepe gave us a great recommendation for lunch as we left.
An excellent guide and a great tour.

Once in a lifetime experience with an excellent guide - It was very easy to book the tour. We were specific that we wanted Pepe as our guide as we had read previous reviews. Pepe was absolutely fantastic. He was very helpful even before the tour started and helped as get a taxi from Vallodilid. Pepe has a very thorugh background and could give detailed descriptions of various parts of Chichen Itza together with the history behind the monument and the Mayans living there. He literlally made it come to life. He is very friendly, funny, excellent communicator and has an exhaustive knowledge of the monument and its history. There were no questions he could not answer and toook the time to lead us through the monument in a relaxed manner.

Best Tour Guide for Visiting Chichenitza - We had the best time yesterday with Pepe. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the Mayan culture and people. We learned so many things. My children were fascinated to learn about Chichenitza, and Pepe answered all their questions with as much historical accuracy as possible. I would recommend Pepe to anyone going to Chichenitza.
