Chichen Itza, Coba and a cenote Swim - We had the best tour guide Jimmy we could wish for. He had so much information and this enthusiasm and energy made the day even more special. I certainly recommend this guide. He even adapted to our wishes which was great. I was with teenagers but he even challenged them to interact and keep them tuned. Thank you Jimmy for the great experience. A day to never forget.

A must do tour - I usually avoid booking excursions or tours through guides but decided to try this one. We were picked up from the hotel with other guests and left around 7:15am where they provided a sack lunch for breakfast. On the drive Gonzalo got everyone engaged by giving us some pointers regarding souvenir shopping while at the ruins and then some education about the ruins before hand while also making it a blast with some early morning tequila shots. Upon arrival the tour is only about an hour before they give you an hour to do your own thing and get pictures. The tour guides Enrique, Freddie and Gonzalo were so amazing. They made the whole day so much fun and gave you a unique educational tour that was engaging and not dry or a standard tour that you would think of. They are hilarious and keep you laughing the entire day. Having done other cenotes and ruins seeing on my own, I think this is a great experience and worth every penny. They do provide you with a good authentic Mexican lunch at Yucatán where you can do some souvenir shopping and you have a personal shopper there to assist you with questions and explain different items and you’re able to get those items “blessed” essentially. The cenote is gorgeous and one of the nicer ones I’ve been to. My bathing suit bottom actually broke before hand and the staff was so quick to help me fix it so I didn’t have to try and buy something. You can take a backpack and leave it on the bus and don’t have to worry about lugging things around all day which was super nice. Again can’t say it enough, amazing tour and amazing guides.

Day Trip - Outstanding service! Enrique, Gustavo & Victor did a wonderful job caring for us. Victor's knowledgeable narration was very interesting and provided just the right amount of humor. The only little negative was when we stopped for lunch, the clerks and servers over emphasized they were wanting tips. Food was nicely prepared & served in a clean and organized location.

Chichenitza and cenote - As an experience, it is a very pleasant one, the guides explain well and the interaction with them is good. Even though it is far, the road is not tedious

My worse adventure in Mexico - It was such a long day, with a nonsens stop at a place where they wanted us to uy things. They picked us up at 7 am in the morning and the first place where we were able to buy or drink coffee was after more than 3 hours (!). In addition we spent like 70% of the day - or more - inside the bus with the tourist guy speaking loud nonstop, It is too much for one day while you drive and drive and drive and barely make it to see something. NOT RECOMENDED !!!!!
