Salvador and Paol were great and tour information was really detailed. Bearing in mind the early start a snack would have been good (breakfast) but benefits of getting to Chichén Itzá early were valuable!

A fantastic experience, Marcela our tour guide was really knowledgeable and extremely accommodating. It’s a long day, but definitely worth heading to Chichen Itza early to avoid crowds and overheating!

Beto was one of the most knowledgeable tour guides I've ever had, having been a tour guide in the past myself. His genuine interest in Mayan culture and hilarious sense of humor made this tour a memorable one. His enthusiasm and passion for the subject matter was plain to see.

Zeer goede gids Izac en chauffeur Eduardo. Organisatie was perfect waardoor we efficiënte tijdsbesteding hadden. Vertrokken om 6h30 in Playa Del Carmen en terug om 17h30. 2 toptempels en zeer mooie open cenote met goed lunch buffet. Aanrader, beste excursie die we gedaan hebben.

Goede rondleiding. Top gids frenk. Prachtige excursie Wat we minder vonden dat tui niet duidelijk was in de informatie wat we allemaal moesten betalen en hoe. Online betalen voor chinchen itza maar cash voor EK balam Dat kan veel beter. De organisatie die de excursie verzorgde kwam met mails wat we moesten doen. Dat was duidelijk als je Engels kan lezen en begrijpen. En mail heb op je mobiel of iPad.

Das Englisch der Reiseleiterin war etwas schwer verständlich. Sie hat sich aber sehr Mühe gegeben.
