Amazing tour- yes you can climb (but just to a point) HIGLY RECCOMEND! - Our tour guide Rafael was AMAZING!! Our tour group was small- just my husband and myself and another couple- and I was so grateful after seeing the other tour sizes. We had an incredible experience and our guide was incredibly friendly. He told us so much about the history of the area, the plants and animals of the area, and gave us a literal taste of the local life by sharing some incredible honey pineapple. I couldn’t be happier that I booked with them, and even happier than I saved money by not booking through our cruise line! Octavio greeted us and also gave us great history of the area while we waited for the other couple arrive. I would recommend this tour of this beautiful area over and over again.

Amazing ! Don’t hesitate to book! - Rafael was an excellent tour guide. He went out of his way to teach us the history of this beautiful archaeological site. He truly loves his county and it shows how he talks about every aspect of it with passion. It was a very nice touch that he stopped on the way back for complimentary honey pineapples & local empanadas. Honestly the best I have ever had! Highly recommend this local tour. Felt super safe and comfortable with him.

Great trip to the ruins - Fantastic trip. The ruins are great. The staff were helpful and accommodating to kids. We saw lots of monkeys at the ruins as well. Great trip. Walking to the check in point from the cruise port was super easy and they had sent a map to help you know where to go. Lovely ice cream place right next to the pick up place as well.

Ruin review - Octavia did an excellent job of the history and explaining the history of the ruins. He was kind and caring about his tour needs. We recommend this tour. And it was a small group, unlike the cruise groups.

Get some knowledge while on vacation! - Good educational/scenic/historic tour with great photo opportunities. Stand close to the guide while walking to hear all the great Mayan history. Be prepared for a bit of a walk if going from a cruise ship, especially for older guests. Polite guide and drivers, and nice that we never felt rushed exploring the site. Also, many areas are available to stand/sit in the shade when it's hot, which is nice!

Knowledgeable guide, private tour - We had elderly family members in this tour and were delayed in finding the tour operator, but they waited for us and provided a personalized exceptional tour. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it, and the guide went above and beyond.
