Chicken Pizza - Miriam and Rene took great care of us on this trip. Very comfortable and air conditioned coach. Clear information and lots of interesting facts from our guide. A little bit commercialised, stop at a Mayan village to buy goods if you wanted and a tequila tasting at the end of the trip, but no pressure. Great tour of Chichen Itza, lovely cenote and really good food. It’s hot and it’s a long day but there was plenty of information about keeping cool and safe, as well as what to bring. The bus journeys in between stops also helped with the heat. Would recommend.

Great tour - Miriam and Rene were great! We woke up early but it was worth it! They had free water and beer for us in the bus. The tacos at Chichikan were amazing. I had a great time learning about Mayan history and exploring their heritage 💕 I would definitely recommend this ✅

Mayan adventure - Enjoyed our adventure with our tour guides Norma, Martin and Alfredo. The experience was awesome and I definitely recommend it. Bring pesos, water, hats, bathing suits / water shoes and sunblock. Strongly recommend pesos, but most places accept Apple Pay.

A day full of fun - It was a pretty packed itinerary but definitely worth the price! Our tour guide Miriam and driver Renee were both very nice and friendly. We got to see a lot of Mexico in one day and had a great time!

Loved Chichen Itza! - Miriam our tour guide is very friendly, warm and knowledgeable about the history and places we visited. Rene our driver made us feel safe during the long drive to and back from the tour. Wonderful to see Chichen Itza in real life and learn about it during the guided tour part. Very very crowded, hot and easy to lose the guides in the crowd. Bring a hat, wear sunscreen and extra bottle of water as they only provide 1 small one after Chichen Itza. More drinks and snacks available would make the tour better. Swimming in the cenote was also very refreshing. Food from the buffet was okay. Could be better and I wish it included drinks (even water is extra charge). Would be nice if the price of Chichen Itza admission was also included in the total paid online so wouldn’t have to worry about paying it in cash. Overall a good tour!

Good first day in Mexico - Good first trip in Mexico! While the ride is long the naps in between make it go quicker, the bus has AC as well which is great. Highlight was the cenote!! Was very hot out at chicken itza - perhaps we could do the talk under the shade before going out - I think less time here and more at the cenote would be good. First stop at a shop/ bathroom was a waste tbh :/ the costs do add up with the extras drinks is not included in the buffet. The tacos there were good. Our tour guide tony was very funny kept the group laughing! Thanks tony and Hugo :
