Fabulous tour company

An amazing day . Yes it’s long but we learnt and experienced so much , met other likeminded people and everyone was catered for . Fabulous lunch venue in a town which was fun to explore . Found a chocolate shop with amazing chocolate to taste and buy . Marco was so knowledgable about Mayan culture and history and was a perfect host . Victor drove very well on what was a long journey but it was split up well with a washroom stop to break the initial drive and with fresh water and snacks provided he was also a perfect host . Chichen itza is a wonderful place lots of crowds and lots of stalls for curio s but there was space for us all and no pressured selling . The cenote swimming was a lovely end to the day . Just bring flip flops sliders or water shoes for the gravel paths . 12 out of 10 trip for us

A must see experience!

Lea was our guide and she was a total sweetheart! She was very knowledgeable and flexible to our group. She also took pictures of us during the activity, which was much appreciated. Arturo was also a great driver and kept us safe throughout a long travel day. Both were a ton of fun and we loved this time excursion!
