Great tour and great people

Published on Nov, 2024

I really enjoyed the tour! Best combination of two Mayan sites and cenote. The guides (Henry in Chichén Itzá and Jose in Ek Balam) were very knowledgeable and entertaining. The driver (Sergio) was very nice and considerate. I don’t speak Spanish unfortunately but both guides spoke great English and we have managed to communicate with Sergio well. I was going on my own and also found out that I will be the only person on tour. I was worried that the tour will get cancelled but it wasn’t. The timing worked really well and I had tours before the crowds arrived and I also had the cenote to myself at some point. I highly recommend this tour and this company! It was highlight of my trip to Mexico!

100% recommended!

Published on Sep, 2024

I highly recommend this tour—100% worth it! From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well organized, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Maria, our guide, was very knowledge of the area, history, and cultural insights added so much value to the experience.

A varied and thought-provoking day out

Published on Aug, 2024

This trip gave us a lovely and varied day out, which covered a lot of ground. The fact that the tour started early meant that we reached Chichén Itzá just before it opened, so the bulk of our time there was spent before it became very crowded, and before the heat became very intense. Our guide there, Henry, was wonderful – he gave us interesting and practical insights into the function, acoustics and belief systems surrounding the structures, and was also an excellent photographer. We then got to spend a bit of time on our own wandering around the site, before our kind and flexible driver, Sergio – who ensured we were well supplied with water, throughout – took us to the cenote. We had a buffet lunch at the on-site restaurant before swimming in the gorgeous space. After that, Sergio took us to Ek Balam, and our guide there, William, was fantastic – his enthusiasm, curiosity and passion for the site were infectious, and taught us a lot, in a kind and conversational way, about the decoration, possible functions, and continued archaeological uncovering of the ruins. The buildings are very interesting and have a beautiful setting – it’s more interactive than Chichén Itzá; you can explore the structures in a different way, and it’s perhaps easier to get a feel for it as a space as it was once inhabited. Comparing the two two sites is, in itself, an interesting experience. Would definitely recommend! Make sure to bring cash for the locker and life jackets at the cenote, as well as for tips and entrance fees.
