 Verified An exceptional day out Our 2nd time doing this tour but this time with our 2 daughters and boyfriends. Hugo the guide for the day was outstanding, along with the driver. A well planned trip, you get to see and understand about the Mayan history and culture. The Cenote is brilliant and all the family agreed that the restaraunt there served thes tacos we tasted all holidays. A great day out

 Verified Long day, plenty of memories. Wow, what a fabulous experience! Cesar was a fantastic guide and host (hola hola Coca cola!) He was really knowledgeable and passionate about the Mayan culture. Captain was also a great coach driver and got us everywhere safely. Chichen Itza was something else! You always think of it as the one Temple that's always shown but it's so much more, we would have loved to have spent more time there and explored the other sites but it was extremely hot, definitely recommended hiring an umbrella. The cenote was MAGICAL! Beautiful fresh water and weeny little fish darting around. The kids loved jumping off of the platform. The buffet was also very nice. Drinks were a little on the expensive side but it's a tourist attraction so you can't really expect much else. The stop of Valladolid was short but it rained like nothing I've seen so we got back on the coach early. Very long day but absolutely worth it. Should also mention we had an unexpected first stop at a Mayan artisan place which was lovely.

 Verified ¡Una excursión espectacular! ¡Una excursión espectacular! La visita a la pirámide y al cenote fue una experiencia inolvidable. Todo estuvo muy bien organizado y disfrutamos muchísimo de cada momento. El cenote es impresionante y la visita a la zona arqueológica fue aún más interesante gracias a las explicaciones que recibimos. Queremos hacer una mención muy especial a Ricardo, nuestro guía, que hizo un trabajo excepcional. Nos explicó toda la historia y la cultura de una forma muy amena, cercana y entretenida, resolviendo todas nuestras dudas y haciendo que la experiencia fuera aún más enriquecedora. También queremos agradecer a Baltasar, el conductor, por su profesionalidad, amabilidad y por hacer que todos los desplazamientos fueran cómodos y seguros. Sin duda, una excursión totalmente recomendable. ¡Muchas gracias por hacernos vivir un día tan especial en México! 🇲🇽🌴
