Amazing tour - Very good experience. Miguel made the walk, the tour in Chichen Itza and the experience in the cenote (beautiful - Chichikan) very pleasant. Full and understandable bilingual tour for everyone. Highly recommended

Tips to prepare for a great tour - We had a wonderful day, Chichen Itza was amazing and the Cenote as well. Our guide Miguel was very keen on making sure that everybody was alright and all questions were answered in detail. We felt cared for all the time and had a great trip! Even more so because we were the only English speaking people on the tour, and Miguel made sure to explain it to us first or at a later point if something was unclear. For your information, the entrance to the pyramid, the locker and the life vests at the Cenote have to be paid extra which ads another 50€ pP to the price, plus a fee of 60 pesos at Chichen Itza for any camera equipment that is more advanced than a phone (e.g. GoPros or bigger cameras) Be aware that both places are very touristy so depending on when you go, it will be crowded at and around the sights. We went in August so the sun and humidity were no joke!! Definitely bring enough water and an electrolyte drink or a snack because you will need it! As this is the rainy season an umbrella might come in handy as well and also some clothes to change (&socks if the path gets a little flooded).

Good tour to Chichen Itza and sacred cenote... - It was very father and fun the Guide excellent service only missed the tasting of tequila. The Guide's explanations were very understandable and very pleasant the tour. I recommend them do not forget that they should wear a cap to cover the sun and can carry water to cool off during the tour. Greetings...
