Great tour! Wish the time at the main locations was more.

Great experience. The guides are so friendly and wonderful. The whole tour feels like a day well spent. Only feedback - the 2 stops they make, first one to the Mayan village and the last one at the Tequila tasting felt unnecessary due to which we didn’t get enough time to explore Chichen, Cenote or Valladoid. Overall great experience! Would recommend to all.

Cenote

Awesome experience. My tour guide Gregorio, Michelle was great, always answering questions and making sure our trip was in track and we made the most of it. As he mentioned… you only life once and enjoy it to the fullest. We were able to swing for the first time in a cenote I would do it again

Recommend!!

We had an amazing day exploring the history and beauty of the Yucatán! 🇲🇽 Our tour guide was wonderful and incredibly knowledgeable about Mayan history. We started by visiting a traditional Mayan village, then headed to Chichén Itzá, where our guide explained how this incredible ancient city was built and took us on a tour of the grounds. We also had about 45 minutes to explore, take pictures, and shop for souvenirs. Next stop was a beautiful cenote! 💦 We swam in the crystal-clear water and enjoyed a delicious traditional Yucatán lunch. Our final stop was Valladolid, where we had time to shop and see what is considered the second-oldest church in the Americas. What a fantastic experience filled with history, culture, beautiful scenery, and unforgettable memories! ❤️ I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Great trip go if you get chance

Brilliant trip from start to finish. Cesar and Hugo were both very knowledgeable about Chichen-Itzá and the Mayan people. The cenote swim was great and refreshing from the heat of the day and the final stop in Valladolid was was just as beautiful as the Mayan temples and the cenote’s. Also if you get chance get you’re Mayan birth certificate done they’re a work of art

Amazing experience

One of the best tours We've ever experienced. Cesar was so passionate and knowledgeable. We were able to understand & experience some of the Mayan culture in a way that will stay in our memories forever. The tour was very well organized & safe. It was a long day, but worth it. An experience that should not be missed.
